Fruits and
vegetables are an important component of the traditional Mediterranean Diet and
are rich in a combination of nutrients and nonnutrient compounds, such as
dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, which have a beneficial
role in cardiovascular health. The favorable effect of fruits and vegetables on
cardiovascular risk is attributed to their antioxidant, antiinflammatory and
antiplatelet properties as well as their role in regulating blood pressure.
there are many benefits to consuming fruits and
vegetables daily. We know from the healthy plate example, that fruits and
vegetables will not supply us with everything our body needs but it does make
up a good portion of it. Hopefully this webquest provided you with plenty of
information that will encourage not just to eat more fruits and vegetables but

groups.
