Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables contain few calories and are rich in nutrients. They have many health benefits and are associated with a lower risk of developing chronic diseases.

It is important to consume the recommended daily amount of at least 250 grams of vegetables and 200 grams of fruit. Important substances in fruit and vegetables include fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavonoids, glucosinolates, carotenoids and phytoestrogens.

As yet it has not been possible to attribute the protective effects of fruit and vegetables to any one individual component. It may be that a combination of substances has a protective effect in relation to various diseases. You should therefore make sure you consume a sufficient variety so you get enough of all the nutrients.
