Many of the fruits and vegetables have anti-ageing property (antioxidant) to keep people young and strong.

Make your food your medicine and your medicine your food. As much as they have good nutrients they are also medicinal. One other thing I have learned more especially about fruits is that when you take them in an empty stomach (probably after drinking water in the morning), they help the digestive system to function properly and also prevent the blackening under the eyes.

I am Japanese. I eat only one meal a day, so I eat very little vegetables or fruits. I regret that it is bad for my health. However, it is very difficult to supplement the daily vegetable and fruit nutrients with a diet.
