Repeated studies have shown that those who have a high intake of fruits and vegetables are less likely to develop many types of cancer, Heart disease, and Diabetes. If you are a vegetarian, these risks are reduced further.

This is because fruits and vegetables have extremely high levels of vitamins and minerals - they are nature's natural supplements. These work in a variety of ways in the body. High dietary fiber content helps to smooth digestion and keep you regular, while reducing the risk of colon cancer. Fiber also helps reduce overall LDL cholesterol in the body. Fruits and vegetables have high levels of anti-oxidants (beta carotene, vitamin C, manganese, etc.), which helps prevent against many types of cancer. Some of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables can also help regulate blood sugar levels, prevent excessive cardiovascular inflammation, and increase overall energy levels.

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is surely important, but it's also important to have an overall healthy diet and lifestyle in order to maximize the benefits they have to offer.
