RESEARCH
A research study published in the journal Circulation in 2021, reported information about health and diet from dozens of studies from around the world, which included about two million people who were followed for up to 30 years. They compared people that ate just two servings of fruits or vegetables each day, with people who ate five servings per day.
The results shown the following;
a 13% lower risk of death from any cause
a 12% lower risk of death from heart disease or stroke
a 10% lower risk of death from cancer
a 35% lower risk of death from respiratory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
