Hard working Mum Monday to Friday?\u00a0 Grabbing what you can and noticing it\u2019s always same old same old?\u00a0 Telling yourself, what is so bad about eating the same foods all the time, especially if the foods are healthy ones?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s not wrong to eat the same meals on a near repetitive basis but there are reasons why we should mix it up a little sometimes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even if you started the year out with great resolutions and have been sticking to your grilled chicken and Spinach dinners, or white fish and greens, that\u2019s not so bad as there are many great nutrients in spinach like fiber and phytonutrients and other antioxidant nutrients including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, manganese, zinc and selenium.\u00a0 However if you don\u2019t stray from the same type of veg all the time you\u2019ll definitely be missing out on lots of other very valuable nutrients found only in other vegetables.<\/p>\n

Fruit & Veg are a key component of a healthy diet and we should all be ensuring we get our 5 – a \u2013day, however variety is key as each fruit and veg have varying \u2018helpful\u2019 properties.\u00a0 By looking to add different ones in each day \/ week we are working towards including more vital nutrients into our diets.<\/p>\n

How can I start to add variety?<\/strong><\/p>\n
