A review of supermarket prices has shown that five portions of fruits and vegetables can be bought for under 50p, despite rising food prices.Still, if you want to increase your intake believing this is a "healthier" way to eat, so much for the "it is too expensive for me to eat healthy food" excuse.
The review of fruits and vegetable prices by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) found that even if people limit choice to fresh produce, it is still possible to buy five portions for just 42p.
WCRF conducted the review following reports of people struggling to afford to eat fruits and vegetables because of increases in food prices coinciding with lower wages.
This is a concern because there is evidence that eating plenty of a range of fruits and vegetables probably reduces risk of cancer, which is why WCRF recommends people eat at least five portions a day.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
