A study of 65,226 men and women indicated the more fruit and vegetables people ate, the less likely they were to die – at any given age.
Risk of death by any cause over the course of the study was reduced by:
14% by eating one to three portions of fruit or veg per day
29% for three to five
36% for five to seven
42% for seven or more (up to around 10 portions a day)
Fresh vegetables had the strongest protective effect, followed by salad and then fruit.
The More Fruit and Vegetables You Eat, the Less Likely You Are to Die
Eating your vegetables does NOT make you Jesus. Life is a terminal disease, its not a question of if you are gona die, its a matter of when, and how.
