Pak choi to the world - the gourd is come! 10/10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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

lol, toot, I did raise an eyebrow.

I need some pudding. I had toast for tea, with marmite. Loads of it with butter too. Sigh.

Oh, I make chocolate and orange spongey pudding. With sticky sauce. Haven't done it for ages actually.

well i need some toast with butter

oh no, butter is evil and smelly and horrible. Have tahini instead.

mmm, butterrrrr

I just ate two kiwis

So, kiwi
and cress

Banana chips? Those crunchy things?

have you tried sun dried banana?

They are like little poos.

it's better than diet coke

DO NOT mention west country accents. I am at risk, after all these years of abstinence and resistance, of picking one up

Butter smells appalling. |Go dairy-free for a bit and you will see what I mean.

And you can get organic, non-hydrogenated margarine.

Those sun dried bananas are odd. Almost nice if you don't think about them while you are chewing.
But then I am sensitiver when it comes to bananas. Perfect ones to eat, yes. In cakes, yes. Anything else is a little dangerous.

Guad...great ad for sundried Banachips...there...like little poss... makes me runn out to get some...not...lol

I did see Boco around a few days ago (on mumsnet I mean)...

Then go cow free for longer.
But yes, homogenisation isn't good. If you're going to have it, have it straight from the cow.

lol, sorry about poo descrip

When I gave up dairy for ages it did smell, horroible and acidic. I got over it though.
