Fruits And Vegetables Are Very Beneficial

LONDON —A recent study conducted at the University College in London and published in theJournal of Epidemiology & Community Health found that consuming fruits and vegetables could increase your lifespan.

The study included 65,226 participants; they were given food questionnaires regarding the type of food they consumed on a daily basis. The researchers followed them for 12 years.

The team found that those who consumed more fruit and vegetables were less likely to die at any age. Specifically they found that eating seven or more portions reduces risk of death from cancer and heart disease by 25 percent.

According to lead study author, Dr. Oyinlola Oyebode:

“We all know that eating fruit and vegetables is healthy, but the size of the effect is staggering… the clear message here is that the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the less likely you are to die at any age. Vegetables have a larger effect than fruit, but fruit still makes a real difference.”

If you are interested in increasing your lifespan, you might want to consider adding fruits and vegetables to your daily diet.

Have a great day.
