Double 5 A Day
To improve the current recommended nutritional guidelines of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day to 10 portions a day for better health and happiness of the nation.
The Problem…
Other countries such as Japan, the healthiest nation in the world, recommends 17 portions. 13 vegetables and 4 fruits a day to be exact. France recommend 10 portions and Danish are currently recommending 6.
The current nutritional guidelines of 5 a day were set based on research from the World Health Organisation on basic human needs. The Department of Health decided that 5 portions a day was just enough to not become malnourished and be realistic for people of the United Kingdom.
These low standards have set up the UK for obesity, diabetes and many forms of cancer. Sign this epetition if you want a healthier and happier nation and let's Double 5 A Day!
