What everyone takes for granted in life is death. This may sound like a cliché, but it's true nonetheless. As is the fact that everyone wants to know what tricks and secrets can help increase the years of life. That's what we're going to talk about, and we can tell you right now that eating 7 fruits and vegetables a day will greatly reduce mortality.
According to a study carried out by the University College of London, eating 7 fruits and vegetables a day will reduce mortality by an impressive 42%. This compared to people who don't include fruit or vegetables in their diets. The study, which followed 65,000 people over 12 years, was published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.
If you don't eat this amount of fruit and vegetables, you don't need to be overly alarmed. That should only be the case if you don't eat any at all. Because if you eat between 1 and 3, mortality drops by 14%. 29% for those who eat between 3 and 5 and 36% for 5 to 7. From here it's the aforementioned 42%. It's important to note that these figures refer to 80 gram portions. Something that can be translated into a large piece of fruit or a set of small vegetables.
The study also states that fresh vegetables are the most effective of all in protecting the body. This is followed by salads and fruit. This is related to the presence of antioxidants, which are important for cell healing. Not forgetting micronutrients and fiber, which are equally beneficial for health. It's also worth mentioning that juices don't offer any benefits. Like canned fruit, which increases the risk of death because it is stored in sugar syrup.
