Less than 1 in 5 people get their 'five a day'

Less than 1 in 5 people get their 'five a day' Fewer than one in five Britons eat the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, research reveals.

Experts last night said the results were a ‘huge cause for concern’, warning they spelled dire consequences for the nation’s health.

Only 18 per cent of people polled by the Diabetes UK charity had eaten their five-a-day the day before they were questioned.

Some 82 per cent had failed to meet the guidance, which is recommended by the NHS as the minimum target for a healthy and balanced diet. The Daily Mail
