Do you eat eight vegetables and fruits every day?
is it now necessary to change the original idea of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to eight servings a day?
a 8 year study involving 300 thousand Europeans in 8 countries, found that 8 copies per day reduced the risk of heart disease by 22%, compared with less than 3 fruits and vegetables a day, thus putting forward this important problem (European Heart Journal, DOI:10.1093/ eurheartj/ehq465).
slogan "five copies a day" has been supported by many governments in a WHO document issued in 2002. But Francesca Clou of the University of Oxford, as a participant in the study, said that in general, every 1 fruits or vegetables can reduce the risk of fatal heart attacks by 4%, no matter how much a day.
is it too much to raise 8 copies? It may be a little overcorrected. " "5 copies a day may be enough, but if people want to eat more, there may be additional benefits," claw said.
last April, a study found that eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day could only reduce the possibility of a tumor by 9%, so people began to look at the value of the proposal.
