Will You Beat The Odds?
Statistics show seventy percent of all people will die of heart disease, cancer or stroke.*
Will you beat the odds?
According to the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society, one way to beat the odds is to get nine to eleven servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
Doing this will lower your risk of death by forty-two percent at any point in your life. Included is the reduced risk of heart problems, cancer and stroke.
Yet surveys show most people fail to do this on a regular basis.
