Micronutrients & recovery
Low consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, particularly in populations with high socioeconomic stress.
Ensure your diet includes a consistent intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. In regions with economic instability, focus on affordable, nutrient-dense options like seasonal vegetables to help mitigate cardiovascular risk.
Low consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and their nutrient biomarkers are associated with increased risk of CVD
