Nutritionists advise everyone to consume as much fruit and vegetables as possible. This can significantly reduce the risk of death due to coronary heart disease - one of the most common causes of death in Europe, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net According to the latest research of scientists from Oxford University, the most optimal amount of consumption of fruits and vegetables - at least eight servings per day. People who adhere to this regime are less likely to die from ischemia by 22% compared to those who consume less than three servings.

These findings were reached by experts during the survey, involving more than 300,000 volunteers between the ages of 40 and 85 from eight European countries. This allowed us to determine that each additional portion of fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cardiac death by 4%.

It is known that the average consumption of fruits and vegetables is only five servings per day. Most of all vegetables and fruits are consumed by Greeks, Italians and Spaniards. But the Swedes can not boast of this.
