A glass (150ml) of unsweetened 100 per cent fruit, vegetable juice or smoothie also counts as one portion. However, no matter how much you drink (for example more than 150ml), or how many varieties of fruit juice, it will still only count as one of your portions per day because the juicing process removes most of the fibre from the fruit. Crushing fruit into juice releases the sugars contained in the fruit. So, to reduce the impact on teeth, enjoy a small glass at mealtimes.

Green fruits are loaded with vitamins and minerals that are important for good health. Amla (or Indian Gooseberry) is a highly underrated fruit since it has the highest vitamin C content (600mg/100 g) among fruits which help boost immunity and fight infection. The best part about Amla is that dried amla has the same nutritional value as fresh ones, and therefore, can be stored and eaten all year round either as a fruit itself or as fresh juice or powder. Another easily available source of Vitamin C are sweet limes which helps boost body's immunity.

It's a well-established fact. A recent analysis of 19 studies, for example, found that people who ate the most fiber-more than 26 grams a day-lowered their odds of the disease by 18 percent, compared to those who consumed the least (less than 19 grams daily). The researchers believe that it's fiber's one-two punch of keeping blood sugar levels steady and keeping you at a healthy weight that may help stave off the development of diabetes.
