If you want to live long and stay healthy, a vegetable-packed diet is the best way to go.
As a young medical student, I learned that eating plenty of fibre in the form of fruit and veg could protect you from bowel cancer.

And the longest-living group of people on the planet - the Japanese Okinawans - are virtually vegetarian, eating only tiny amounts of meat but up to 20 portions of fruit and veg a day.

Their super-healthy diet is thought to be the key to having such low rates of cancer compared to the rest of the world.

So it's no surprise that new research from Oxford has found we should be eating a diet that veers towards vegetarian if we want to protect ourselves from a whole variety of cancers.

The study says we could reduce our cancer risk by at least 10% simply by eating less meat and more veg.
