Evidence
Imperial 3a65bc82 8d4c 49f2 9470 b0a976bc4454

Imperial College London

5-a-day good, 10-a-day better: A 2017 meta-study, covering 2 million subjects worldwide, found that around 7.8 million premature deaths could be prevented every year if people ate ten servings of fresh produce daily.

Evidence
Oxford

Oxford University

A global switch to diets that rely less on meat and more on fruit and vegetables could save up to 8 million lives by 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two thirds, and lead to savings of $1.5 trillion (US).

Evidence
Who

WHO Recommendations

As part of a healthy diet low in fat, sugars and sodium, WHO suggests consuming more than 400 grams of fruits and vegetables per day to improve overall health and reduce the risk of certain noncommunicable diseases.
