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

My meories of BF poo are mostly of the up-the-back variety

But I expect I have forgotten

SuperBunny · 19/07/2009 22:05

Oh, up the back poo always at the worst times too - when leaving the house for an important appointment, just as the seatbelt sign lights up on a plane meaning you are forbidden to move... bad memories

Banana, cherries, strawbs (in our porridge - yum!), pear, raisins.

DS had some banana
