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

Hurtles onto thread Daaaaiiiisssseeeeeee!!!!!,

I am a namechanger, trying to lose my previous identities, but tend to get hyper, cycle and run, and paint...
(can you tell who it is yet?)

Molly, I would fill his bag with goodies on pain of something gruesome happening if he lets it slip in front of the wrong people.

Now I wish I HAD had a custard donut...

Lemur and SB, it is vit C that helps the body with the absorption of iron and you would have thought with the f&v I eat that would not have been a problem. I drink a pint of tomato juice a day for starters . No doubt I will find out. But thanks anyway.

Banana,x2
pear,
tomatoes,
broccoli,
beans of the green kind,
juice,
rhubarb (yummy)x2

Does some half-hearted star jumps for franny's benefit...pant pant...

Hi Franny

Acksherly, I probably need to start joining you fruit eating people as feeling a bit run down atm and sure it is all the cake I'm eating lack of vitamins.
DS is 10 months old next week - you are right about the mine isn't the teeny baby any more.

Today have had, erm, half a banana but not dinner yet and will have some kind of veg when DH gets home .

Nuts, nuts, glorious nuts,
nothing quite like them for filling your gut,
so follow me follow, down to the pit, and there you can wallow in a vat of diet-coke......

Boco · 21/01/2009 20:36

I don't really like nuts. Pistachio nuts are ok. And those dry roasted peanuts that make you twitch. But the rest are rubbish.

mollyroger · 21/01/2009 20:38

ohhhhh. caramalised cashews...

TinyWhiteFeather · 21/01/2009 20:43

Boco!!! wash your mouth out, how dare you slander the mainstay of my diet you,....you,... non nut eating person you...!!

TinyWhiteFeather · 21/01/2009 20:45

And I want it as it is - not fiddled and frou-froued with "I know instead of 'nothing' let's have 'artichoke'"

I want it as it is, in its raw state.

Boco · 21/01/2009 20:52
