Inverse Association between Fruit and Vegetable Intake and All-Cause Mortality: Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study

Increased intake of fruits and vegetables may protect us from dying prematurely from cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and other chronic diseases.

This study assessed if avid consumption of fruits and vegetables could extend the lifespan of men and women. Researchers tracked the eating habits and number of deaths recorded in a study population comprising of 94,968 Japanese men and women over a 20-year period. 

Researchers found out that regular ingestion of fruits and vegetables lessened the likelihood of dying from cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and other chronic diseases. Including more fruits and vegetables to our diet might just add a few more years to our life.
