Try for 5 this National Nutrition Week by enjoying sustainable foods
Celebrate National Nutrition Week in NSW from 11 – 17 October 2020
Did you know that just 7% of Australian adults and 5% of children meet the recommended guidelines for 5 serves of veggies each day?
In fact, the average Australian eats only half as much vegetables as they should! Yet, the largest proportion of food waste in NSW – a whopping 33% – comes from fresh produce. Reducing food waste while enjoying a more sustainable diet packed with vegetables is the basis for better health, reduces the risk of chronic disease and ensures a healthy food supply for future generations.
Let’s make a change for better health this National Nutrition Week, and what better way to Try for 5 than by filling our plate with sustainable foods that have the power to improve our health and the health of our planet. One way we can do that is by looking in our own backyard to our native Australian ingredients!
That’s why Nutition Australia NSW’s events encourage everyone to Try for 5 by thinking about ‘My Plate, My Planet’ – how your plate affects your health and the planet. Join us from 11-17 October as we celebrate healthy and sustainable foods!
