To actually eat five a day??
For me it seems to be a massive challenge! And the stupid thing is I actually like fruit and vegetables even cabbage! So, when they say set small goals, maybe my first one would be to actually manage to eat my five a day. I mean look at the health benefits of the humble red grape, a snack that has to be one of the easiest to pop in your mouth as you don't have to peel it just pull it from the stalk and eat - simples! It contains lots of things that have weird words... ;-) as well as vitamin A & C
FLAVONOIDS - these help prevent heart disease, very useful at my age!
LUTIEN - Now these apparently help your vision, again useful at my age.
RESVERATROL - this is in the skin of the grape, and is quite something (at my age), it lowers blood cholesterol and can stop those pesky blood clots forming which will of course help lower the risk of STROKE!!!!
And finally those
ANTIOXIDENTS - stuff that impedes cancer - bazinga!
and I love grapes! If I go back to my youth I used to stuff myself stupid on fruit, was not a problem to have my apple a day, and it did keep the Doctor away. And I have to say I was full of energy.
So I again have to ask myself, that when I became in charge of the shopping why oh why have I overlooked my simple five a day
now where's my pin I really fancy a pomegranate.
