Researchers recommend 10 portions of fruit and veg a day to prevent an early death

Researchers from Imperial College London have said that, although eating 5 portions of fruit and veg a day still helps to reduce the risk of disease, including cancer, eating 10 portions a day results in a 13% reduction in the risk of cancer, and 31% reduction in the risk of an early death.

This research was reported in the media last week by Sky News, the BBC, and The Guardian.
