different vegetables and fruits have different nutrition.experts recommend that adults eat at least two kinds of fruit and five kinds of vegetable every day.
i find it a little difficult to keep.from my part,i eat one apple and one pear or banana everyday.while,i don't eat sufficient vegetables in my daily diet.basically,i eat 1 to 2 kinds,maybe cabbage or carrot,sometimes white gourd.it seems difficult to finish 5 kinds.
what about you,my friends.how many kinds of vegetable and fruit do you have every day? what are they?

I can make sure that i have enough fruits every day, apples, bananas, and pears, when it's season for grapes, i eat them a lot.but enough vegetables? i don't think so.We eat in a school canteen, and the types of vegetables doesn't always change, so we have to eat the same vegetables everyday , the most type is cabbages,chinese cabbages,carrot,and so on.

i understand you coz i just graduated from university.my campus canteen doesn't change often,thus i usually go outside with my friends to improve our meal quality.
i suggest you go outside for meals twice a week.

In my country they recommend eating five portions of fruit or vegetables a day. This might be one banana, a handful of grapes or a 5cm slice of cucumber. For breakfast I think it is lovely and refreshing to eat a grapefruit. Also I drink fruit juice during each meal. I love to eat salad and might choose to have lettuce and cucumber or red cabbage,cauliflower and carrots. I find bananas a convenient snack in the afternoon. I like to get soup sometimes that is full of different vegetables. I am drinking a delicious fruit smoothie this evening. I know people that like packets of fruit and nuts, dried apricots, tinned pineapple, peach and pear as well as fruit pies. I think potato is a common vegetable. Good luck finding appealing vegetables to eat. You are doing well to eat the fruit.

Here in the U.K we are recommended five a day, i just wonder how serious government nutritionists are in their recommendations, because i see no sign of anyone suggesting we cut the price of fruit and vegitables, surely this would be a great way to encourage eating more
blessed be
