When the United States revised the latest version of its dietary guidelines in 2000, the article "Choose meals rich in grains, vegetables, and fruits" was changed to " Choose a variety of vegetables and fruits every day.”

A large number of scientific tests have proven that vegetables and fruits not only provide some vitamins, minerals and fiber required by the human body, but also contain many plant antioxidants. For example, some vegetables and fruits are rich in polyphenols.

Many Americans regard apples as a must-have for losing weight. They go on a diet one day a week and only eat apples on this day, which is known as "Apple Day".

Reminder: Although fruits and vegetables are good, they should be eaten with care. Why do some people eat twice as much lychees as you do and they feel good about themselves, but you get angry?

As long as middle-aged people understand the physiological and psychological characteristics of this period, know how to maintain health, and pay attention to health preservation, they can slow down aging and prolong life.
