However a major UK study has claimed that this will not help to ward off heart disease<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Participants were asked how many vegetables they ate each day and this was compared with rates of heart disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Overall the group who ate the most raw vegetables were 15 per cent less likely to suffer heart disease than those who ate the least.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There was no difference for cooked vegetables. But the benefit of eating raw veg disappeared when other factors, such as wealth and lifestyle, were taken into account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study concluded that having lots of foods such as broccoli, carrots and peas \u2018does not have a protective effect on the occurrence of cardiovascular disease\u2019.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1 linkro-ccox\">\n<li>   <span>More proof pollution damages sperm: Men living in areas with&#8230;<\/span> <\/a>   <span>Indonesian virgin, 37, who lives at home with his mother,&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Any link between eating vegetables and heart health is because those who eat lots tend to be healthier in other aspects of their life, suggests a report in the journal Frontiers of Nutrition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The research examined NHS data from 399,586 UK adults with an average age of 56. The daily intake of total vegetables was five heaped tablespoons per person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However co-author Dr Ben Lacey said: \u2018Eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight remains an important part of maintaining good health and reducing risk of major diseases, including some cancers.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Other experts also stressed that Britons must not be put off eating vegetables.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">WHAT SHOULD A BALANCED DIET LOOK LIKE?<\/h3>\n<p>   <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-ab8478564549e4f9\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2019\/02\/28\/15\/10413452-6756159-image-a-23_1551367745393.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"586\" alt=\"Meals should be based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, ideally wholegrain, according to the NHS\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/>   <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-ab8478564549e4f9\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2019\/02\/28\/15\/10413452-6756159-image-a-23_1551367745393.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"586\" alt=\"Meals should be based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, ideally wholegrain, according to the NHS\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Meals should be based on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, ideally wholegrain, according to the NHS<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2022 Eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.
