Fitting more fruit and vegetables into your diet

If you're not eating at least two pieces of fruit and five servings of vegetables each day, now's the time to start. Although there's no single “miracle” food to prevent or cure cancer, scientists that people who eat few fruits and vegetables have higher rates of cancer than those who don't.
