Do you know the amazing power of fruit and veg for a healthy lifestyle which may help reduce the risk of major illness and build your immune system which could also give you added protection against everyday colds and flus.

As you might know the UK government now wants you to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day - but why? It's because The World Health Organisation states that fruit and veg are now known to be very important for your optimum health and well-being.

So what are the main health reasons ?

* Low in Fats

Research at the University of East Anglia has shown evidence that good amounts of fruit and veg in your diet on a regular basis will have very positive benefits on your health and give you a fighting chance against developing the major killers in our modern world- diseases such as heart disease, all kinds of cancers, stroke and Alzheimer's.

Much research has been done in the US which show that the antioxidants in fresh fruit and veg show promise as being very effective against the onset of major illness and improve your immune system and general well-being.

More good news is that the various antioxidants found in fruit and veg are starting to show that they may play a significant role in slowing the ageing process and reducing free radical damage, so damaging to your health.

Antioxidants are said to be the antidote to free radical damage and are known to be of great benefit. As more research is done no doubt we will see even more benefits of fruit and veg and their antioxidant powers.
