Strathfield Council is supporting the Go for 2&5 campaign a key initiative of the NSW Government’s Live Life Well Campaign, aimed at helping the community to lead healthier lifestyles and avoid ill health.

The campaign highlights the importance of eating two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables a day as an easy way to improve your health.

Some healthy snack ideas include:

• Pack fresh fruit for a quick snack at any time
• Top toast with sliced bananas
• Serve carrot and celery sticks with a low fat dip
• Chop fruit into bite-sized pieces and thread onto skewers for a colourful kebab

The Go for 2&5 website is a useful resource that provides a range of practical solutions to help people incorporate more fruit and vegetables into their diet, including tips on healthy snack ideas and innovative ways of adding healthy food to every meal.
