Fruit and Vegetables There is a large body of growing evidence supporting the notion that a relationship exists between diet and health outcomes. Everyone knows that fruit and vegetables are staples in a well balanced diet. Studies suggest that adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables have important health benefits and implications for women. 

Among other things, these foods may decrease the risk of certain cardiovascular and heart disease in women. In addition individuals who consume more than six servings per day are less likely to suffer from stroke than their non-vegetable and fruit eating counterparts. 

Of particular benefit are the following:
