Serves Made Simple!
The national Australian Heart Foundation have some excellent tips and tricks for everyone, and I mean everyone, to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle.
I'd like to share with you a few of their fantastic online PDF document resources - tips for serving sizes of fruit and vegetables, and tips on storage and 'shelf' life of the most common!
AHF Serves Made Simple - Fruit
Aim to have at least 2 serves of fruit per day - easy if you enjoy smoothies and snacking on fruit!
AHF Serves Made Simple - Vegetables
Aim to have at least 5 serves of vegetables each day - half of your dinner plate should be full of vegetables.
Winning Storage Tips
Correct storage of your fruit and vegetables allows them to last longer and reduces or eliminates wastage. Try to pick fresh, seasonal fruit/vegetables where possible but frozen/canned (the sugar/salt free kind) will suffice off-season or if you are stuck for time/money etc...
Look out for more posts on tips for getting more fruit and veg in to your diet!
Buon Appetito :)
