Default Fruit & Veg Portions Per Day

Given the evidence that the antioxidants contained in fruit and vegetables are beneficial to lowering the risks of coronary heart disease. And the recommendations that we should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables per day, (equivalent to 400g per day)

how may portions do you eat???.

What constitutes a portion?
One apple, pear, banana or similar sized fruit
One slice (two-inch) of a large fruit such as melon, pineapple or mango
A glass of 100% pure fruit juice (150ml)
One heaped tablespoon of dried fruit such as raisins or dried apricots
A dessert bowl of salad
Three heaped tablespoons of cooked vegetables
Three tablespoons of beans or pulses
A tea-cup sized portion of grapes or berries
