Surprise start to a healthy lifestyle

I have recently had a revelation that may very well have changed my life.

If you eat healthily, or at least, as many as possible of the five portions of fruit and vegetables we are supposed to eat every day, the health benefits are not only tangible, they are immediate.

I always considered the story of the Big Five that we are supposed to consume daily to be just a bit of an old wives' tale - and although I do like vegetables, especially the way they are cooked in China, I somehow couldn't get round to eating them.
