Vegetables and salad
Try to eat three portions of vegetables and salad every day, at least one of which should be raw. How can you achieve this goal? At lunch or dinner, always eat a salad in addition to your side dish of cooked vegetables. A carrot or a glass of vegetable juice makes a healthy snack. Gradually increase your consumption of vegetables and salad. If you do not currently eat vegetables or salad every day, start off with one portion per day. 1 Portion = 120 g vegetables, 2 dsp vegetable juice

Fruit
Try to eat two portions of fruit every day, raw if possible. How can you achieve this goal? For example, eat Bircher muesli with fresh fruit for breakfast. For dessert or as a snack, eat a piece of fruit that you particularly enjoy or drink a small glass of fruit juice. 1 Portion = 120 g fruit, 2 dsp fruit juice
