Abstract:
Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C
and potassium. They're a good source of dietary fiber, which can help to maintain a healthy gut
and prevent constipation and other digestion problems. A diet high in fiber can also reduce risk
of bowel cancer.

patterns, daily intake of vegetables and fruits . We have interviewed 45% women and 55% men
