Definition

  • One of the most important messages of modern nutrition is that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables promotes health while protecting against almost all diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, and several other age-related degenerative disorders. Specifically, the intake of 400–600 grams per day of fruits and vegetables is beneficial. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Fruits and Vegetables]
