More vegetables

Five servings of fruits/veggies per day has been the standard for some time, but according to University College London it would be a lot better to double that.

"People who ate at least seven portions of fruit and vegetables each day were 42 per cent less likely to die from any cause over the course of the study."

Other significant points from the study:

  • "vegetables are four times healthier [more nutritious?] than fruit"
  • fruit juice is pretty much useless
