Did you know that the average Brit only eats about 1.5 portions of vegetables per day? That’s not enough!
Most health organisations agree that, ideally, you should aim for 5 portions a day to include a variety of fruit and vegetables. An adult portion of fruit or vegetables is 80g.
Vegetables are packed with nutrients that are essential for our health, including vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants.
Eating more vegetables can help you:
- Reduce your risk of chronic diseases. Vegetables are a key part of a healthy diet that can help reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes.
- Lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Vegetables are low in calories and high in fibre, which can help you feel full and satisfied after eating.
- Improve your gut health. The fibre in vegetables helps to keep your gut healthy by feeding the good bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut is essential for overall health and well-being.
- Boost your energy levels. Vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals that are essential for energy production.
- Improve your skin health. The antioxidants in vegetables can help protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.
