Most of us want to increase the longevity of our life for the sake of our family or other reasons. If you’re not one to care then you won’t mind being the one out of ten Americans who don’t get enough fruits and vegetables. Meeting the minimum for these nutrients will heavily reduce your risk of heart disease. Next you’ll want to make sure to eat your fair share of nuts.
