Groups such as Yokohama City University have compiled results based on a large-scale survey that people who eat a lot of vegetables and fruits have a nearly 10% lower risk of dying than those who eat less.
Groups such as Yokohama City University and the National Cancer Research Center tracked about 95,000 people in their 40s to 60s living in 11 prefectures nationwide, including Iwate and Tokyo, for about 20 years, We investigated the relationship between ingestion and mortality risk.
About 24,000 people died during this time, but the risk of death for both men and women combined was 8% to 9% compared to those who ate the least fruits, and those who ate the most vegetables. and 7% to 8% lower.
However, those who ate more fruits had an approximately 9% lower risk of dying from heart and blood vessel disease, whereas there was no association between cancer and respiratory disease deaths and consumption. That's it.
Furthermore, according to the analysis, it is estimated that it is desirable to consume 300 grams or more of vegetables and 140 grams or more of fruits per day.
Studies have been published in Europe and the United States that the intake of vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of death, but the research group says that this is the first time that they have been able to analyze it in Japanese.
Professor Atsushi Goto of Yokohama City University said, ``We were able to scientifically evaluate the fact that vegetables are good for health, which has been vaguely said. I want you to keep in mind," he said.
