10, Not 5, Servings Of Fruits And Vegetables A Day Ideal For Health, Study Finds by carlitob: 10:48pm On Feb 27, 2017
A new study suggests that people should be consuming closer to ten portions of fruits and vegetables a day for ideal health, instead of the five currently recommended by the World Health Organization.
New research published in the International Journal of Epidemiology by scientists from Imperial College London has found that the greatest benefit from eating fruits and vegetables comes from eating 800 grams (about 1 3/4 pounds) of fruits and vegetables daily. The researchers found that this amount was associated with a 24 percent reduced risk of heart disease, a 33 percent reduced risk of stroke, a 13 percent reduced risk of total cancer, and a 31 percent reduction in premature death.
Researchers calculated that by increasing fruit and vegetable portions to this degree, 7.8 million premature deaths could be prevented across the globe annually.
These results came from a meta-analysis of 95 studies from around the world, including up to 2 million people, 43,000 cases of heart disease, 47,000 cases of stroke, 81,000 cases of cardiovascular disease, 112,000 cancer cases, and 94,000 deaths
