A new study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health authored by researchers at the University College of London has found that the more vegetables (and, to a lesser extent, fresh fruit) you eat the better your chances of longevity.
As the popular press is reporting, Oyinlola Oyebode, the study's lead researcher, said in a prepared statement that "We all know that eating fruit and vegetables is healthy, but the size of the effect is staggering." The research established correlation, not causation, but the findings are consistent with already-established guidelines from worldwide governmental health agencies. If you want to live a long and healthy life, eat plenty of veggies.

Me three, I have always liked veggies and even more so after seeing a PBS fund raiser special featuring Dr. Joel Fuhrman. His advice sounded right to me so I bought his book “Eat to liveâ€*. I found it very informative and so bought five more copies to give to my family and friends.
Since then, one of my favourite meals is collard greens with sauteed onions and mushrooms. To up the flavor a little “wooster sauce†as Nigella calls it. Round it out with a some kidney beans and chopped walnut and I am good.
* I have no association with the book other than a happy reader.
