It’s no secret that most people probably don’t eat enough greens in their day-to-day routine. According to the Australian Dietary Guidelines, we should be consuming at least 5 serves of vegetables daily. That is including a variety of foods such as dark greens or cruciferous, root vegetables, legumes, beans and other vegetables.

You still need to be dedicated to your health to benefit from it.
Remember, when you want to change your lifestyle, you need to start with small tweaks to your routine so that you can make those little changes a habit. Living a healthy and active lifestyle will have many benefits. So take one step at a time and change your lifestyle today to reap the benefits in the future.
