A Kiwi A Day….

I’ve been experimenting on myself somewhat over the last couple of weeks. I went a whole week eating 2 plums, 2 clementines, a Kiwi and an innocent smoothie a day (an expensive habbit but worth it for a total of 5 portions of fruit a day) and then a week without eating my five portions and the difference in how I feel is very noticable to me. I was more awake, more chirpy and feeling generally healthier during that week with all the fruit. I was surviving off 6/7 hours of sleep a night, not my usual need for 9/10 because I’m feeling so exhausted!

So I’m going to hit the shops, and buy some ‘superfood‘ fruits to kick start my healthy eating again!

What I was mostly excited about though, was the fact that if you eat just one kiwi, it is so full of vitamin C that it counts as 1 portion of your 5-A-Day. So easy to fit one in as a snack.
