The Link Between Fruit, Vegetables and Health - Summary

Regardless of whether you are headed for your favorite steak house, seafood restaurant or pizza parlour, adding large servings of vegetables to your meal is a cost free (and side effect free!) way to improve many different aspects of your health. Having fruit as a dessert or as a snack also seems to provide enhanced risk reduction for some diseases.

Bear in mind that potatos, other various starchy vegetables, and legumes, are not the kind that will improve your health! Cruciferous vegetables (e.g., mustard greens, various cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts), leafy green vegetables (lettuce, celery, cress, endive, escarole, chard, collards, kale, and spinach), dark and yellow vegetables (carrots, yellow squash and yams) as well as tomatos are all the kinds of vegetables that provide benefits.
