DOCTOR HE SAY ~ 5 VEGGIE A DAY ~ HAIKU

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

It used to be 5 Fruit OR Veggies a day ~ Now the doctors

are saying TEN !  5 Fruit AND 5 Veggies each day !

 

CARROTS ~ god for you

help you to see in the dark

as bright as a spark !

 

CABBAGE is sad they

say ~ has its heart in its head and

stands on one leg ~ all day !

 

PARNSNIPS are white and 

very sweet ~ easy to cook

and yummy to eat !

 

PEAS are veggies sent

from GOD ~ to keep them fresh He

put them in a pod !

 

Never demesne the 

'umble POTATO ~ chipped ~ boiled

or fried they're really great~O

 

TtHANKS FOR READING ~ Comments welcome ~ Yours BRIAN

 

To wet your appetite ~ 5 FRUITS TOMORROW ~ BRIAN !

  • Comment from author about the poem: We al love a veggie or two ~ but FIVE A DAY is really OTT. Leeks for breakfast and Carrots for lunch ~ Greens for dinner ~ don't pack no punch. Peas for supper (with Fish & Chips !) ~ A celery stick to take to bed ~ it don't cause no drips ! Five a day any old way ~ it really is the healthy way ! Comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOXOX

    Although not a veg
    I really like tomatoes
    all juicy and red.

    I like your five haikus too Brian - good for 5-a-day. Must add that if only I could eat 10 a day I would need a much larger stomach. But then it all depends on the size of the portions.

      Thanks for your Haik ~ Mike ~ I agree ~ the variety is to ensure minerals and vitamins and roughage ~ controlled quantities control obesity ALLES IN ORDNUNG ! Yours BRIAN

      I love veggies quit meat last month for good and its all good!

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        I agree too much meat turns you (back) into an animal. In the BIBLE Daniel ~ Shadrach ~ Meshac and Abednego only ate Fruit & Veg and it made them fire-proof and insatiable to Lions ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

          Thanks CHRIS ~ I know that being a Nurse you understand all about NUTRITION and Healthy Eating. In fruit & veg every day we ge all the vits & mins we need ~ no need to take supplements. I am horrrified when i realise the amount of supplements my Older American Friend stake each day ! I don't take any ! Pleased it made you smile ~ Hugs ~ BRIAN

          Fruit and vegetables grown fresh on the farm or at the store. I eat my share. Tasty right

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            YES TONY ~ It's very important to have fresh veggies (or fresh frozen ?). Left at room temperature too long ~ veggies lose some of their nutrients ! BRIAN

                You are spot on about what the latest science has proven. A haiku of information.

              • Goldfinch60

                Good write, I eat any veg and fruit and meat and anything else that is put in front of me. BUT I am a great believer in everything in moderation.

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Good advice GF ~ MODERATION (Self Control) is the Ninth Fruit of the Spirit ~ AMEN Yours BRIAN
