The Government advises us that increasing our fruit and vegetable consumption should be a national priority, and that by doing so we can significantly reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. It has been estimated that eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day could reduce the risk of deaths from chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer by up to 20%.
The mineral content of fruits and vegetables in the UK has been depleted by up to 70% over the last 50 years.
