Wicked Leeks: Is following five-a-day on fruit and veg actually a good rule to follow?
Tim Spector: We now know five-a-day doesn’t cover the diversity of plants that our body needs to thrive. Aiming for 30 different plants every week is more beneficial. Eating only a combination of the same lettuce, apple, cucumber, tomato and carrot is simply not enough for us to be in great health; we need to change it up and start using more spices, herbs and seasonal plants grown locally.
So the question is - do you eat 30 different plants every week?
I've no idea. May need to start counting herbs and spices to find out!
