Seven+ daily portions of fruit and veg linked to lowest risk of death from all causes
Eating at least seven daily portions of fruit and vegetables may confer the best chance of staving off death from any cause, indicates research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
And vegetables may pack more of a protective punch than fruit, the data suggest.
Seven+ daily portions of fruit and veg linked to lowest risk of death from all causes
Bottom Line:
This was a huge study - 65000 people followed for over 7 years. And the results are a 42% lower risk of death from all causes and from cancer and heart disease/stroke of 25% and 31% respectively!!!
Those are HUGE numbers, folks! I for one am going to read up on this study further.
