You don't have to be a sporty type to be an Activater. Going for a walk, doing the housework or carrying the shopping are all effective. Just putting a bit more effort into physical tasks and relying less on labour saving devices is an excellent start. Walking is one of the easiest ways of being more active. You don't have to buy special clothing or spend hours in the gym. Walking is free and it's something nearly everyone can do. Regular, brisk walking actually lowers the risk of heart disease. Did you know that inactivity doubles your risk of heart disease?If you've been more of a Dolittle than an Activater up to now, don't try to do too much all in one go. Take it step by step. Gradually build up your activity levels then keep up the good work - because staying fit means staying active.

Aim for 5 fruit and veg a day

Put more veg in soups, stews and pasta sauces
Add sliced vegetables to pizza
Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of the vitamins, minerals and fibre we need to help maintain a healthy body and fight diseases. Yet most of us don't eat enough of them. Try to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables each day. This may sound a lot but the good news is that a glass of orange juice, an apple, a small can of tomatoes or baked beans each count as one portion. Potatoes don't count here although they are important in the diet for other reasons. Different types of fruit and veg provide different nutrients in varying amounts, so choosing from a wide variety of them is best. With a bit of forward planning you will see that it's easy to meet the 5-a-day goal without having to make major changes to your eating habits.Many fruits and vegetables can make handy snacks such as raisins, grapes, dried apricots, satsumas, tomatoes, carrot sticks, slices of red or green pepper, apple pie, bananas, pears and kiwi fruit.
