Everyone should aim to eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and veg each day, this can be fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced.

Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fibre and should make up over a third of the food we eat each day.

Children should also eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day. For a child, 1 portion is the amount they can fit in the palm of their hand.

An adult portion is 80g of fresh, canned or frozen fruit and vegetables, this counts as 1 portion of the 5 A Day. With tinned or canned fruit and vegetables opt for those in natural juice or water.

Remember that fruit juice and/or smoothies should be limited to no more than a combined total of 150ml per day. They can only count once as part of the 5 A Day.

80g of beans and pulses also only count once as part of the 5 A Day.

Be aware of drinks that say "juice drink" on the packaging as they’re unlikely to count towards your 5 A Day and can be high in sugar.

There are some ready-made foods that contain fruit and vegetables which will count towards the 5 A Day. Always read the label!

European recommendations suggest 1.6L of fluid per day for women (about 8 200ml glasses) and 2L of fluid per day for men (about 10 200ml glasses).

Water, low fat milk, sugar free drinks including tea and coffee all count.

Choose lean cuts of meat and mince, chicken or turkey without the skin are lower in fat, also limit the amount of processed meats consumed, such as sausages and burgers and meat products in pastry, such as, pies and sausage rolls, as these are high in fat and are often high in salt too. The average recommended daily consumption for red and processed meat is around 70g.

A poached or boiled egg is healthier than a fried egg.
