Only one in five Britons currently eats the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day according to a new a poll for World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).
The Department of Health launched its five-a-day campaign in 2003, but the WCRF says its survey of more than 2,000 UK adults shows people still find achieving that goal difficult.
It is urging people to eat “just one more portion” for a healthier diet, which would increase cancer protection.

The dizzying pace of technological improvements has been such that cycling has often been likened to Formula 1 racing on two wheels.
Unfortunately, the basic awareness and application of the science of training and fitness is unfortunately lagging behind for many amateurs and even professional cyclists.
Rather than examine the research into old-school ideas, many coaches and athletes blindly accept them simply because they’ve been handed down through the generations.
This concept of an evidence-based approach to cycling science and training is the philosophy underlying this book, whose goal is to bring a science-first perspective to cycling by digging into the scientific basis behind established beliefs.
Cutting Edge Cycling will be equally useful to both athletes and coaches by creating a common knowledge set and improving communication between them.
