How much fruit do you eat every day? And how many vegetables? Food experts today think that we don't have enough of these foods in our diet and they say that we eat too much fat and sugar. This is why the World Health Organization has started a campaign to encourage us to eat more fruit and vegetables.

Why eat fruit and vegetables?

Fruit and vegetables are full of important vitamins and minerals which our bodies need to be healthy. Scientific studies have shown that eating a lot of them can prevent some illnesses like diabetes and obesity. Also, fruit and vegetables don't contain much fat and they don't have many calories, so they help to keep us slim.

What counts?

Nearly all fruit and vegetables are good for our health. The food can be fresh, frozen, or in a can, like peaches or peas. It can be raw, cooked, or even dried, like raisins or banana chips. A glass of 100% fruit juice with no added sugar also counts as one portion.

How much is a portion?

A portion of fresh fruit or vegetables depends on the size of the food. [!] In the case of small-sized fruit like plums or mandarin oranges, one portion is two pieces of fruit. [I] A piece of medium-sized fruit like an apple, an orange, or a pear also counts as one portion. [III] With larger fruit like melon and pineapple, one portion is a 5-cm slice. [IV] In the case of salad vegetables, a medium-sized tomato or a 5-cm piece of cucumber counts as one portion each. For smaller, cooked vegetables like beans and carrots, one portion is three large spoonfuls of vegetables.
