Video Tips on 5 A Day
A new report released for the Department of Health’s 5 A DAY campaign shows that although parents understand the importance of getting their 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day, many are still confused about what counts towards that target, with one in three admitting that their children know more than they do about 5 A DAY and nutrition.
1 in 2 parents don’t realise that any vegetables they include in homemade food such as spaghetti bolognaise can count towards their five a day, and that of their children. A shocking 95% of mums and dads also didn’t know that chips cannot be counted towards the 5 a day target.
While 91% of parents know that fresh fruit and veg counts, and 78% are aware that frozen fruit and veg counts, 4 in 10 parents don’t realise that canned fruit and veg counts too.
It looks as though there’s some clearing up to do on the 5 a day issue, and in this exciting new video celebrity mum Melinda Messenger offers parents the clarity they need. She offers her top tips to make sure both you and the little ones get all the daily fruit and veg you need.
