The benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables are by this point well known. Eating vegetables three times a week can slash risk by more than 50 percent for illnesses like heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastrointestinal illness. Eating more than one large apple, orange, or similarly sized fruit of around 80 grams per day was linked to a 24 percent reduction in all-cause mortality in one 2022 study. Even consumption of just apples and bananas three to six times a week showed a 57 percent decrease in all-cause mortality. Now, you may add kidney health to that list.
