They are considered good for your health. Now, a new study has claimed that eating a minimum of eight portions of fruit and vegetables daily can lower the risk of heart disease by almost a quarter.

The research, which has looked at 300,000 people aged from 40 to 85 in eight countries, found that the accepted wisdom of eating five portions of fruits daily for a healthy life could be inadequate.

It ups the World Health Organisation-recommended quota of eating 14 ounce, or about 397 grams, of vegetables per day, the Telegraph reported.
