Research has shown that eating seven ounces of fruit and vegetables per day reduces the risk of early death from any cause to 42%, while another study has shown that eating one hundred grams of fruit and vegetables a day reduces the risk of dying by 20%.

What, though, should we remember when it comes to eating fruit?
Avoid drinking water right after:
While most fruits have a high water content and are considered excellent for deoxification, drinking water right after may disrupt the digestive process, slowing it down, and perhaps triggering acidity. Experts explain that when our body receives plenty of water, our kidneys may not work so well, which can cause nauseous and headache. It is good to wait at least an hour after you have eaten fruit before drinking water.
Avoid eating fruit that has been stored for long periods of time:
When we do not have time, we often prepare food in advance, including fruit. However, leaving long - cut fruit leads to oxidization, which significantly reduces their nutrients. In addition, they tend to lose their taste. It's better to wash and consume all the fruit.
Limit fluids:
Fresh fruit juice is a healthy choice, but the fluid loses a lot of nutrients compared with whole fruits. This does not mean that we cannot taste the juice of our favorite fresh fruits, but there must be a balance between the consumption of whole fruits and fluids so that we do not lose nutrients.
