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

Jarred peas?

I rely on counting 2 servings of 1 thing, otherwise I'd never make it anywhere near ten.

there is no everything has to be different rule

and no NUT rule

I thought there was a no nut rule

LOL erm
there is no rule that says you have to eat nuts

yes indeed

Yes I can buy jars of cooked peas. nutritional value ? but it's quick and better than chocolate or a bun which would otherwise be my lunch am a terrible eater and only eat proper food when with others so doing this is a great discipline

I would love to be a "lady who lunches" but find the eating thing a big bore

have started to eat tomato salads for lunch even when it's only me .. just so I can tell 10-10 about it..

LOL at the beard convo TooT!

UR - there are many tattoos, I had a mis-spent youth. The shit one is a dodgy 'tribal' type band around my arm. It makes me mad to look at it, really badly done too.

i used to eat a half pound of brazil nuts a day just because they're so easy and don't need any preparation, and full of protein and selenium etc .. like a whole food with no effort

very lazy

UR there was a move to have nuts included in our 10 but teacher Fran rapped her ruler on the desk said no

but very nicely!

you are counting nuts as fruit and veg?

NO WE ARE NOT
don't encourage them pointy, they were going to have a nut eating splinter group
what a barrel of laughs the nut related titles would be

i add nuts to my bread

Quite right. You can't have nuts counting as fruit and veg.

no you can't
you tell them pointy
Avi does it and just keeps quiet about it, DON'T think I don't know Avi

put a tomater on it, zip, never mind nuts

That's what I thought (about nuts)

Right, I have to go. DS just handed me a screwdriver and said, "Mummy, you fix my bike while I lie of the sofa"

so
pointy

but extra nut points were permitted

by order
