Eating loads of fruit and vegetables - 10 portions a day - may give us longer lives, say researchers.

The analysis showed even small amounts had a health boon², but more is even better.

A portion counts as 80g (3oz) of fruit or veg - the equivalent of a small banana, a pear or three heaped tablespoons of spinach³ or peas.

通常一份水果或蔬菜的份量为80克，也就是相当于一个小香蕉、一个梨、或是三大勺的豌豆和菠菜。

The conclusions were made by pooling data on 95 separate studies, involving two million people's eating habits.

来自奇彭纳姆的哈里特·米卡莱夫表示，她每天都要吃8到10份蔬果，每天都要吃好几份菠菜。

She told the BBC: "I have a lot, I don't ever have a meal without veg or salad so eight to 10 portions is a regular thing."

她在接受BBC采访时说道：“我要吃很多蔬果，没有蔬菜或沙拉的话我甚至都不会吃饭，所以每天8到10份蔬果是经常的事儿。”
