American Society for Nutrition: 1 in 7 deaths from heart disease is linked to low fruit intake, 1 in 12 to vegetable deficiency. Daily norm: 300 g of fruit and 400 g of vegetables.
The statistics are unforgiving: deaths from cardiovascular diseases are rising worldwide. The American Society for Nutrition attributes this to insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption in people's diets. Experts state that roughly one in seven deaths from heart disease is linked to low fruit intake, while one in twelve is connected to a deficiency of vegetables.
The most pronounced negative impact is seen among young people, especially men. Women typically consume plant-based foods more readily. Dietitians emphasise that fruits and vegetables are the most important components of any person's diet and can help prevent premature death.
Meanwhile, global priorities have largely shifted towards ensuring adequate calories and vitamins, and reducing salt and sugar intake. American specialists recommend eating 300 grams of fruit and 400 grams of vegetables, including legumes, every day.
