Are You Eating Enough Fruit to Age in Good Health?

Three decades of data in 105,000 adults point to one simple habit - about 200g / 7oz of whole fruit a day - as a strong predictor of reaching 70 in good health.

For many years, I was an optimistic fruit buyer rather than an actual fruit eater.

I’d wheel my trolley round the supermarket, full of good intentions: oranges, bananas, grapes, apples, mangoes - whatever looked especially appetising. I could almost taste the vitamin-infused virtue.
