Learn the secret to longevity and healthy living.

If you want to live a long and healthy life, start eating more vegetables and fruits in your diet.

This was revealed in a medical study.

The right '5-a-day' mix is 2 fruit and 3 vegetable servings for longer life.

 

Research published in the medical journal Circulation found that consuming 5 servings (approximately 350 to 400 grams) of fruits and vegetables, a day is helpful for a healthy and long life.

A study of nearly 2 million adults worldwide found that consuming 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables daily reduced the risk of various diseases and death in middle age.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease and cancer, but most adults do not include adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables in their diet.

The study, conducted by Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in the United States found that more fruits and vegetables were recommended but not specified. How much fruit and vegetables should be part of the diet daily.

The study analyzed 27 different research reports from 29 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia and included about 2 million people.

The results showed that consuming about 150 to 160 grams of fruits and 225 to 240 grams of vegetables throughout the day reduced the risk of death while eating more than this amount did not bring any additional benefits.

The study found that people who ate more or fewer fruits and vegetables were compared. Eating more fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of death from any cause by 13%, the risk of death from heart disease, heart attack, and stroke by 12%, and the risk of death from respiratory diseases by 35%.

However, not all fruits and vegetables provide these benefits, such as potatoes, corn, peas and foot juices do not reduce the risk of death from any cause or specific chronic disease.

On the other hand, green leafy vegetables such as spinach, beta-carotene, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables such as berries and carrots are very beneficial.

The researchers said that the results apply to all populations, while the ideal orbit of fruits and vegetables has also been determined.

"We also discovered that not all fruits and vegetables have the same benefits," he added.
