Ding Dong Broccoli on High - 10 / 10 thread

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

Hello thenewme

Do you eat quinoa? What does it remind you of?

Do you ever run around naked?

thenewme · 13/12/2008 19:45

Never eaten quinoa to my knowledge and it reminds me of cous cous.

I intend to run around naked a lot more after Christmas .

Speaking of mangoes, I had the most cunting one yesterday. It was all fibres and tasted of water

TooTicky · 13/12/2008 19:54

I don't like the Smiths either

thenewme · 13/12/2008 19:54

I need to lose weight and eat more fruit.

FrannyandZooey · 13/12/2008 19:55

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 13/12/2008 19:56

thenewme i think i need to lose weight and eat LESS fruit

what about veg?

OP posts:
thenewme · 13/12/2008 19:58

I love veg too and could eat more.

I always want tohave veg and cheese for lunch and then never remember.

SuperBunny · 13/12/2008 19:59

I ate a banana on the bus today and realised that I have issues with people doing that. I have a strong feeling that banana-eating should be done in the privacy of one's own home. I always feel a bit sick when I see someone eating one so goodness knows what possessed me to do it.

thenewme · 13/12/2008 20:00

lol

MamaG · 13/12/2008 20:01
