Eat 5 or more portions of SirtFoods daily, consuming the greatest variety of SirtFoods possible.
SIRT 5-A-DAY PORTION SIZES
Even when choosing foods from the ‘Top Twenty SirtFoods’ list it can be hard to gauge how much we need to eat for a portion. Is a pinch of turmeric enough? Do I need to eat a whole bowlful of kale? And if I just eat five chocolate biscuits that’s my SIRT 5 a day sorted? Right? Not exactly … but it’s not rocket science either. For example, one cup of green tea is a portion, 30g kale (that’s a handful to you and me) and ten red grapes constitute a portion.
In other words, the amount you would eat as part of a balanced meal is more often than not sensible portion size.
