Fruit and vegetable intake and mortality from cardiovascular disease in Japan: a 24-year follow-up of the NIPPON DATA80 Study
Consuming lots of fruits and vegetables may drive down death rates from cardiovascular disease.
This study clarified the correlation between strict adherence to a high fruit and vegetable diet and cardiovascular mortality risk. Researchers followed 9,112 Japanese men and women for 24 years, tracking the food choices and death toll in the study population.
Researchers identified an inverse association between frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables and decreased incidence of deaths from cardiovascular diseases. This 2015 study of Japanese men and women documented that including more fruits and vegetables in our diet may slash our chances of dying from cardiovascular disease prematurely.
