People who consumed one serving of fruit per day lived an average of 1.6 years longer (1 year and 7 months longer) than those who never consumed fruit according to a recent study which followed 38,221 men and 33,485 women who were 45- to 83-years-old for an average of 13 years.
Consuming more than one serving of fruit per day was not associated with living significantly longer compared to those consuming one serving of fruit per day.
“Consumption of [more than one] 1 serving [of] fruit [per day] was not associated with a significant increase in survival compared with consumption of 1 serving [per day],” the paper notes.
