Kantar continues to report folks manage to eat on average just over 3 fruits & vegetables a day despite years of encouraging folks to aim for 5 a day.
Now, researchers from Imperial College London are urging folks now to up fruit & veg intake to 10 per day [link to research press release].
10 a day.
Researchers risk folks doing little more than throwing in the towel in despair, especially in the short term.
In any event, looking just at
fruit & veg's impact on cardiovascular health is too narrow a research
focus in my view.
It would be more helpful if researchers looked at a broader
basket of food & drink especially green tea, whole grains, spices and
certain nuts. This might give us a better chance at improving overall health
& wellbeing!
