5 tips to eat more fruit and vegetables

These small changes make it easy to eat more fruit and vegetables.

Did you know… According to recent research from University College London, we should eat more fruits and vegetables per day for optimal health; no less than seven servings a day.

1. Make small changes in your diet
Don't try to drastically change your diet all at once, but see how you can achieve results with small adjustments. For example, cook half the pasta for dinner and supplement it with extra vegetables.

2. Add some fruits and vegetables to every meal In the morning, add fruit to your yogurt and spinach with your omelet or smoothie. Make a small salad for lunch, or go for a soup filled with vegetables.

3. Satisfy your sweet appetite with fruit A piece of fruit can help satisfy your cravings for sweets. Not in the mood for regular fruit? Make a portion of apple chips.

4. Make it into a smoothie Do you have trouble eating enough fruits and vegetables? Then make it into a smoothie. It is healthy and there is a lot of fruit and vegetables in one glass.

5. Through your ready meal
Add extra vegetables to the canned pasta sauce or canned soup. After all, we don't always have time to cook extensively.
