The research conducted by American Heart Association explained that eating more fruits and vegetables as young adults was associated with less calcified coronary artery plaque 20 years later.
The researchers examined 2,506 participants based on their daily consumption of fruits and vegetables and observed that women consumed an average of nearly nine servings of daily fruits and vegetables, whereas men averaged more than seven daily servings.
The study noted that people who ate the most fruits and vegetables at the start of their examination had 26 percent lower odds of developing calcified plaque, a disease that hardens arteries and underlies many types of heart disease, 20 years later, compared to those who ate the least amount of fruits and vegetables.
Michael D. Miedema, lead author of the study, said that people shouldn't assume that they can wait until they're older to eat healthy as what one eats as a young adult may be as important as what he/she eat as an older adult.
The research is published in American Heart Association journal Circulation.
