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

TooT, homemade delights sound good.

mollyroger · 04/05/2009 13:10

I feel like we are wasting the day. But it is dark and grey and spitting and after yesterday's rip-off fest, a bit begrudging of throwing any more money at crap.
Dsses are making the funniest little stop-go animation films and 'adverts'.

SuperBunny · 04/05/2009 14:13

Good news, LR

Have a lovely bank holiday everyone. I would like to have gone with Toot and her baked delights today but we do not have a bank holiday/ Am taking DS to participate in a study at the university instead.

Went to see 17 again last night and I am beginning to think Zac Effron is rather tasty, which is worrying.

pointydog · 04/05/2009 14:44

mollyroger · 04/05/2009 16:46
