Sitting down to eat from the perfect plate, which reaches the recommended daily amount of fruit and veg servings, has for many Australians proven difficult to implement into their diet, thanks to life getting in the way. Whatever’s holding Aussies back, whether it’s we’re time-poor and prefer to lean towards pre-made meals, or that most of us are unaware of what a ‘serving’ truly looks likes on a plate, there’s no dispute that small changes in habit and improvements in diet will go a long way toward bettering our health. Not only will you feel the benefits in your daily life, your future self will also be prepared to live better, to live vibrantly.
Less than 10% of Australians eating the recommended daily intake of vegetables and fruit is an incredibly shocking figure. Consider the number of people in this country who are not the best version of themselves, due to either not having access or choosing not to eat a variety of fresh produce! All Australians should be eating a wide variety from an early age, through to their older years.
