On this winters day, its lovely to sit have some veg from the garden. The last of the tomatoes and some carrots now the ground isn't frozen!
All to go with freshly made bread and home made lentil soup with a chicken bone broth base.
At this time of year with all the bugs going around its important to feed the body well. Adding some fresh fruit and veg as a side is a great way to increase your daily fruit and veg intake as well as addung more fibre to help keep you regular. (Your microbiomes will thank you).
Did you know that the governments recommendation of 5 fruit and veg a day is not enough for best health? It was set at that level as they thought people might achieve that but wouldn't feel so bad if they didn't!
The recommended portions of fruit and veg per day should be between 8 and 10...more veg than fruit as a 3 to 1 ratio.
Go on add a extra amount of veg on your dinner tonight and any other meal you can.
