If you want to reduce the risk of stroke, you should take more than the recommended five portions of vegetables and fruit every day. Due to a study in Lancet, those who consume three to five times cut the risk by 11 per cent in comparison to those who eat vegetables and fruit less than three times. People who consume more than five portions make the risk 26 per cent lower â?? reveals a study taken by researchers at the University of London. The Health Department claims that the risk of heart disease, cancer and other problems can be diminished by five or more daily servings. Stroke is the number three cause of death and the number one cause of disability in developed countries.

Want to give up smoking? Do it spontaneously.
The best option to quit smoking is to do it on impulse rather than plan it, a study reported in British Medical Journal has stated. More than 1,900 smokers and former smokers were interviewed on their experience of quitting smoking by the group of researchers at the University College London. It turned out that two third of smokers, who quit spontaneously, have succeeded for six months. According to the study, people who plan give up smoking feel less determined to quitting.
Genetics helps cancer disparity study
Disparity of genes or smoking habit is responsible for disparity in lung cancer among smokers who come from different ethnic background. Genetics is able to find explanation of racial differences long seen in the disease â?? a new study in the New England Journal states. The study involved more than 180,000 people and revealed that blacks who smoke up to a pack perday are far more prone to develop lung cancers than whites who smoke similarly. According to the researchers, smokers of Hispanic and Asian ethnic background are less likely than blacks to develop the disease.
