倫敦帝國理工學院公佈的一項新研究成果表明，每日吃800克的蔬菜水果與健康長壽之間存在一定的關系。該研究團隊還發現，特定的水果和蔬菜種類能夠減少癌癥和心臟病病發的風險。分析表明，即使吃少量水果蔬菜也會對健康有益，不過多多益善。請聽 James Gallagher 的報道。
Only around one in three people in the UK sticks to the five-a-day government target. Now a team at Imperial College London has drawn conclusions from 95 studies involving two million people.
The scientists say that although the five-a-day message doesn’t need to change, eating ten portions could prevent close to eight million premature deaths each year around the world. They also believe that products like spinach, yellow peppers and cauliflower lower the risks of cancer, while apples, citrus fruits and broccoli, for example, cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Public Health England says the five-a-day target is an achievable way to prevent a number of diseases, and that adding pressure to consume more creates an unrealistic expectation.
