Just forwarding this announcement from the CDC:

 

The CDC 5 A Day team is thrilled to announce the arrival of the updated

5 A Day website (formally the NCI 5 A Day website) located at www.5aday.gov <http://www.5aday.gov/> < http://www.5aday.gov/ > ! This website contains valuable information for the consumer and health professional, as well as a section for state fruit and vegetable coordinators.

The website features a tool in which consumers can determine how many fruits and vegetables they need daily based on their age, sex and activity level. Consumers can then find examples of what a cup and a half cup of fruits and vegetables looks like, as well as helpful tips for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. The recipe database contains over 600 healthy recipes which each contain at least one 1/2 cup serving of fruit or vegetables. The health benefits of eating fruit and vegetables is also presented. The Fruit and Vegetable of the Month pages are also available.

Health Professionals can find research, resources and tools, and information about the 5 A Day program in the For Health Professionals Section. This section also contains information just for coordinators including the coordinator calendar, upcoming events, resources, and links to the WebBoard.

This site is a work in progress and will continually be updated. The PDFs of the new brochures are NOT currently available on the website.

They will hopefully be posted within the next few days. Please notice the PDF version of the second brochure in the Research to Practice Series, "How to avoid portion size pitfalls to help manage your weight", on the Research to Practice Page (http://www.5aday.gov/health_professionals/resources_practice.html

< http://www.5aday.gov/health_professionals/resources_practice.html > ).

 

The www.5aday.gov <http://www.5aday.gov/> < http://www.5aday.gov/ > website

is intended to take

the place of the CDC 5 A Day website currently located at

www.cdc.gov/5aday < http://www.cdc.gov/5aday > . Please note that the

previous CDC address will soon direct you to www.5aday.gov

<http://www.5aday.gov/>

< http://www.5aday.gov/ > .

Thank you to all who have made this year long effort to update the

website a reality!

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns

about the website.

The 5 A Day Team
