BRUSHING UP: Parents have been able to find out about the benefits of healthy living for their children.

Stoke Library hosted a healthy information day where families received advice on eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, how to get more exercise, and how to look after teeth from an early age.

The event yesterday also included a food tasting session and a healthy smoothie demonstration.

The first 50 families that attended the event received a free goody bag including a book, rhyme sheets and a stress reliever for parents.
