‘5 a day’ health campaign

We simply do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. According to the latest report from the German Society for Nutrition, on average we eat just half of the recommended 600 g of fruit and vegetables each day – all in all, a pretty poor performance from the German team! Nutritional experts and studies both confirm that five portions of fruit and vegetables a day have a positive effect on health. On the basis of this finding, health organisations and business partners have launched the '5 a day' campaign in Germany

It’s time for ‘5 a day’
Numerous studies from all around the world conclude that eating lots of fruit and vegetables reduces the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Eating fruit and vegetables is beneficial to health – as the saying goes: an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
