Adding fruits to your meals

Increasing your fruit intake:
Fruits make ideal snacks. They are nutritious and delicious, and require little or no preparation.
It is very easy to take an apple, orange, or banana with you to work or when you go out for the day. You should have no problem getting your daily minimum requirement of five servings of fruits and vegetables in this way, once you get into the habit of having a good selection at home and at work.

In addition to eating familiar types of fruits, be adventurous and try some of the more exotic and unusual varieties which are now more readily available from your local supermarket, such as mangoes, loquats, figs and lychees.

Adding fruit to your meals:
Fruits can be incorporated easily into your main meals of the day - breakfast, lunch and dinner - in a wide variety of interesting ways.
