For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

Boco · 29/09/2007 21:01

You could just make up a name, say, Joan Twinge, and no one would know who you are, except those who you're playing scrabble with - and then you won't invite other non scrabblers to lark about with you, because they won't know who you are. How bout that?

I've just been mixing it with a bit of water and holding my nose. Do you think being a man about it is the way forward? I refer you to Man Colds and Man Flu, op cit, ibid.
