Lucinda Hancock, Nutrition Australia Vic Division CEO, said “Taking the Try For 5 Challenge during National Nutrition Week is a great way to kick start healthy eating habits that you’ll carry on for the rest of your life.
“Vegetables are the most under-consumed food group, with the average Australian eating only half their recommended intake. Yet, over a third of the kilojoules we consume each day come from unhealthy options like cakes, biscuits, take away, confectionery, drinks and alcohol.
“But whether they’re fresh, frozen or canned, getting enough vegetables every day is the #1 thing we can all do for better health, wellbeing and performance. “
