To be healthy, we often hear that it is important to eat five fruits and vegetables a day, but is this true? In the columns of Evening Magthis Wednesday, December 4, Michel Cymes answers the question directly.

Eating five fruits and vegetables a day is a recommendation from public health authorities to promote a balanced diet and prevent certain diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases. And for good reason, they are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They support the immune system, improve skin and eye health, and also prevent nutritional deficiencies. However, do you really need to eat five a day?

In the columns of Evening Magthis Wednesday, December 4, Michel Cymes confirmed that it was essential to consume 5 fruits and vegetables per day: “It is very important for our body, and it is essential not to forget the proportions.” Indeed, the doctor explains that it is not enough to swallow, for example, five cherries for a necessary intake, but to eat several quantities of five different vegetables or fruits.

This seasonal vegetable promotes weight loss and fights cellulite

If in summer we like to eat vegetables in salads or in the form of gazpacho, in winter, we can easily increase our intake thanks to vegetable soups. A seasonal vegetable is also beneficial for weight loss and cellulite reduction. This is: celery stalk. Made up of 95% water, celery stalks are a very low-calorie vegetable, with only 15.8 calories per 100 grams, according to the book Fat-burning foods by Rachel Frély, as reported The Women’s Journal. Although it is light, it is particularly filling. A true ally for weight loss, it also helps reduce fat located in areas sensitive to cellulite, such as the arms, thighs and buttocks. This action is explained by its richness in vitamins C and B9, which promote the production of norepinephrine, a hormone involved in fat management and cellulite reduction. As for fruits, to burn fat, especially after the age of 40, there is nothing better than regularly eating bananas and red fruits, which are very rich in fiber.
