Gorging on fruit and vegetables is the key to preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma

• People who eat lots of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease 
• High intake of vegetables helps prevent multiple chronic diseases
• Healthier people eat lots of different grains, not just wheat and rice
• The world-first research was conducted by the University of Adelaide

Eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains helps prevent people from developing more than one chronic disease, new medical research shows.

The world-first research conducted by the University of Adelaide examined the link between diet and 11 chronic diseases, including anemia, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, arthritis, hepatitis, coronary heart disease, asthma, stroke, fracture and cancer. 

It found that people who eat a higher amount of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease, while a high intake of vegetables helps prevent people with one chronic disease from developing a second. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2668720/Study-proves-gorging-fruit-vegetables-key-preventing-chronic-diseases-like-diabetes-asthma.html
