If you already consider fruits and veggies a central part of your diet, consider eating even more. That’s because when it comes to lengthening your life, the more produce you eat, the better, a comprehensive research review published Thursday in the International Journal of Epidemiology suggests. The benefits capped out at an intake of 800 grams of fruits and veggies daily. The meta-analysis found that fruits and veggies rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, potassium and flavonoids, were among the most beneficial types of produce for increasing longevity. Some of the best life-lengthening foods include apples, pears, citrus fruit and green, leafy vegetables, they said.
