Trends

Research shows that people who eat at least five portions of vegetables and fruit daily have a lower risk of developing some cancers and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, limiting foods high in saturated fat, salt and sugar can help prevent diet-related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, along with conditions such as high blood pressure and cholesterol. It is also important to make sure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to prevent illness. For example, most people get all the calcium they require from dairy products but if you are dairy-free, it is a good idea to opt for calcium-enriched food and drinks to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.No matter what types of illness you’re looking to prevent, from the common cold to more serious diseases, eating for health and wellness is a food trend that’s well worth exploring.
