Fruit and vegetables

You’ve probably noticed that people are getting more and more into their health these days: going to the gym, buying fancy ‘functional foods’ packed with extra vitamins, calcium, and so on. That’s all great, but what people may not realise is that some of the most ordinary foods are actually quite extraordinary. Genuine ‘superfoods’, in fact. Fruit and vegetables are superfoods. Why? Because they contain awhole lot of different vitamins and minerals, they’re low in fat and calories and also have some fibre. All that, and flavour and colour for your meals as well.

Vitamin D and you

This leaflet highlights the importance of Vitamin D supplements for those who may not get enough, including women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; infants and young children under five; people aged 65 years and over; people who are confined indoors or cover their skin for cultural reasons; and those with darker skins (eg African and African-Caribbean).�
