This habit helps reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, obesity and other chronic illnesses. For example, you could have: - A banana at breakfast - An orange as a snack - A slice of pawpaw after lunch - Vegetables with your main meals - A slice of watermelon later in the day Are you hitting the WHO’s five-a-day target?
