Products you eat contain simular amount of thing in a fruit. Like chocolate contains cocoa and that comes from trees.

It's a recommendation to help you get the vitamins and nutrients you need. A balanced diet is important to keep and it is good to get in the habit.
Lol my mum has corona symptoms (she’s fine tho) so we can’t leave the house for the next two weeks. Don’t have a single fruit in and only veg is frozen peas. We’re normally really good and pretty healthy but trying to not stress and realise that 2 weeks won’t hurt long term.
More worried about the fact I can’t have any Diet Coke ahah !! I can’t cope with that !!!

i hear it's actually 10 fruits/veg a day but they say 5 to make it more achievable as they know people won't manage anywhere near 10 in the west...
