Five A Day PDF Print E-mail
It seems impossible when you live at home and your parents are pay rolling the shopping, but where do you fit in the 5 a day? This little guide will give you some invaluable help for becoming a healthier student.

Breakfast: A glass of orange juice or grapefruit juice or apple juice, however they have to be 100% pure juice; Ribena doesn't count as berries. Just one regular glass of pure juice counts towards your 5 a day.

 

Elevenses: It's just before a lecture and your stomachs starting to rumble, chocolate to fill the gap? No, grab which ever fruit doesn't look as though it has been there for a week in the shop and in 5 minutes you've eaten your second portion of fruit a day, easy eh?

 

Lunch: Salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, salad salad...which ever you prefer, although a Salad salad could mean you are a rabbit. Not only is this a filling lunch and tasty it's your third portion of fruit/vegetable of the day!

 

Afternoon snack: Who wants to wait 6 hours from lunch to tea for some food? So grab your self another piece of fruit: banana, apple, orange..bear in mind you can't have the same piece as you did in the morning as apparently it doesn't count.

 

Tea: Anything that has a portion of fruit or vegetable in it will count, some peas with your dinner, stir fries, broccoli..The list is endless, oh and frozen vegetables count as they have just as much nutritional value as their fresh counterpart.

 

So there you have it, 5 a day during your student life and not only are you getting your 5 a day you have a healthy diet and your best defense against freshers flu.
