All over the world people are being encouraged to eat in a healthier manner. In the U.S.A. they have the 5 a day promotion. Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. In Australia they have the 2+5 campaign. That is, eating 2 servings of fruit and 5 servings of vegetables a day. No doubt other countries have similar publicity designed to help people make changes to their diets.
People are obviously finding it hard to manage this. A report in 2005 found that only 33 percent of adult Americans ate fruit twice or more each day and only 27 percent ate vegetables three or more times a day. The target that the government is trying to reach by 2010 is to have at least 75 percent of Americans over 2 years old eating at least 2 servings of fruit each day and to have 50 percent of people eating three or more servings of vegetables each day.
Here are 5 breakfast tips to help you get your 5 a day.
1. Have some fruit with your breakfast. Cut up bananas or add berries to your cereal.
2. Make a fruit smoothie for a quick breakfast drink. Try banana, mango berry or peach smoothies.
3. Eat a piece of whole fruit as part of your breakfast. For example an apple or an orange or be exotic and eat a mango when they are available.
4. Add chopped vegetables to scrambled eggs or omelet.
5. I like to gently fry a ripe banana with my breakfast eggs. Even very over ripe bananas are tasty like this.
Starting the day with at least one serve of fruit or vegetables sets you up to reach the 5 a day target. Your health will improve in a whole host of ways if you can make the 5 a day a part of your daily diet.
