A new study published by UCL recommends eating ten portions of fruit and vegetables per day , instead of eating the five portions as it was said on the World Health Organisation recommendations issued in 1990. Since that year the advised was to eat 400 gr of fruit and vegetables per day to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, type-two diabetes and obesity, but a new study demonstrate that is not adequate.
Fruit and vegetables protect our body from different diseases, but the protective effect they have increased when you eat more fruit or vegetables, so when this new study discovered it wanted to send a clear message, ``However much fruit and vegetables are you eating now, eat more´´
But this does not end here, health experts talk to the government to reduce the cost of fruit and vegetables, and their suggest to do this is to put taxes on the sugary and junk food, their principal argument is that humans are not designed to be omnivorous and not to eat fast food.
Also, this study made a statistic in Britain with people who ate different number of fruit per day, and eating seven to ten portions could reduced persons risk of premature death in a 42 %, also it was found that vegetables are much more beneficial tan fruits, each portion of vegetables reduced in a 16% in exchange each portion of fruit only a 4%.
From my point of view I agree completely with the scientists, and I think humans were designed to be eat fruit and vegetables and not junk food, so everybody should try to eat more fruit and vegetables to enjoy more time alive.
