Acc. to WHO (World Health Organization), fruits and vegetables are important components of a healthy diet. Reduced fruit and vegetable consumption is linked to poor health. Including fruits and vegetables as part of the daily diet may reduce the risk of some NCDs including cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer. 

Moreover, fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins and minerals, dietary fibre and a host of beneficial non-nutrient substances including plant sterols, flavonoids and other antioxidants and consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables helps to ensure an adequate intake of many of these essential nutrients.

WHO suggests consuming more than 400 grams or 5 servings, of fruits and vegetables per day to improve overall health and reduce the risk of certain NCDs. In first time guidance for children and adolescents WHO suggests the following intakes of vegetables and fruits:

• 2–5 years old, at least 250g per day
• 6–9 years old, at least 350g per day
• 10 years or older, at least 400g per day 

However, globally, we aren’t growing enough fruits and vegetables to meet World Health Organization consumption recommendations. Only an estimated 20% of people in low- and middle-income countries consume the recommended amount.

When it comes to India, studies have found that, the per capita household vegetable and fruit intake was found to be 145 and 15g, respectively, for rural India, and 155 and 29g for urban India. A significant portion of this intake came from energy-dense food items; potatoes and bananas for vegetable and fruit intake respectively. Further, while wealth marginally improved the diversity in vegetable intake, no such trend was observed in fruit intake.

In fact, reports have shown that, about 98% of India’s adults eat inadequate levels of fruits and vegetables.

The reason of low intake of fruits and vegetables is not just poverty, but lack of education in terms of nutrition intake, extremely busy lifestyle in urban areas, depleted nutrition in soil itself etc.

That’s where high quality supplements come into play, and when it comes to supplements made from whole foods, dried powders of berries, fruits & vegetables are the best bet.

A systematic-review study, showed that, daily consumption of fruits & vegetable supplements significantly increased serum concentrations of the major antioxidant provitamins and vitamins found in plant foods (Beta-carotene, vitamins C and E) and folate. Functional changes, such as reduced serum homocysteine and markers of protein, lipid, and DNA oxidation, were also reported; in addition, the health advantages on markers of inflammation, immunity, and endothelial function were promising.

Mix 1-2 Scoop in water, or your favourite beverage. Shake well or use a blender to mix.
