We know that we eat fruits and vegetables to keep us HEALTHY.

Fortunately, all my family members love fruits:)

Except that they like a variety of fruits to be served after our meals.

And I love shopping for fruits!

So, we have strawberries, plums, apples, pears, grapes, kiwi (and sometimes also bananas, rockmelons, watermelons, papayas, cherries and longans) served on a big plate.

[Yeap. We are all spoilt previously by my domestic helper and now my mom. It does feel "íncomplete" when we don't have a variety of fruits after our dinners at home].

Talking about eating enough fruits and vegetables to keep healthy.

Do you know how much fruits and vegetables do we need to eat daily?

Well, Brendan and Darren brought home a health message from Singapore’s Health Promotion Board today.

“2 + 2 Keeps You Healthy”.

The right quantity is to “Eat 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables daily”.

How do we measure the servings?

See picture.

So, we need to eat two times of what we see in the picture daily.

As for my family…….

Oh Dear! I guess we have an overdose of fruits, judging from the varieties that we eat after dinner.

For vegetables, I do have a little headache though because Darren is still selective over the type of vegetables he eats.

Somehow, I seem to encounter common complaints of children who do not like vegetables.

I wonder why….

I hope my boys appreciate the “fruit and vege” message from Health Promotion Board.

Because they seem to like the bookmarks more than the message.

Hopefully, they can appreciate better now through reading this post *haha*.
