Seven is the new five. Are you eating enough fruit and veg?

It would appear that the famous government guidelines of five fruit and vegetables a day, recommendations backed by the World Health Organisation, is no longer enough.
Data produced as a result of a scientific investigation following over 65,000 people emphasized that, even when allowing for other contributors such as smoking and stress, simply having a minimum of seven servings of fruit and vegetables daily would lead to a longer life expectancy.
The main issue, perhaps, is that just one in three people are hitting the current target. There is no such problem at Total Diet Food where all clients get at least seven portions of fresh fruit and veg a day!
With statistics stating that one can lower the likelihood of death by 42% following a diet like ours the information seems clear. It is also interesting to note that tinned fruit and vegetables can not only negate the health benefits of consuming fresh produce but actually make someone more ill.
Time will tell whether England follows suit with Australia (where 5 vegetables and 2 fruit are suggested) or make the objective to get people up to the present goal of five.
