Rugby Ace and Best in Season Ambassador Tommy Bowe encourages kid’s to score “5” this Autumn
Irish Rugby player and Best in Season ambassador Tommy Bowe believes that consuming 5 portions of fruit and veggetables a day is essential. “By having to watch what I eat I know all the different types of fruit and vegetables and the contribution each makes to a healthy balanced diet and ultimately a fit body. One way I try to pack more in is by snacking on ready to eat produce like apples, cherry tomatoes and even carrot sticks. I actually have to have more than five portions a day – especially if I want to secure a place on the plane to New Zealand!”
