10 servings of fruits and veggies recommend daily. Seems a bit much, but I'm going to tally up today and see if I'm eating right.

>>The study, by Imperial College London, calculated such eating habits could prevent 7.8 million premature deaths each year.
The team also identified specific fruit and veg that reduced the risk of cancer and heart disease.
The analysis showed even small amounts had a health boon, but more is even better.
A portion counts as 80g (3oz) of fruit or veg - the equivalent of a small banana, a pear or three heaped tablespoons of spinach or peas.
What counts as five-a-day?
The conclusions were made by pooling data on 95 separate studies, involving two million people's eating habits.
Lower risks of cancer were linked to eating:
green veg (eg spinach)
yellow veg (eg peppers)
cruciferous vegetables (eg cauliflower).
Lower risks of heart disease and strokes were linked to eating:
apples
pears
citrus fruits
salads
green leafy vegetables (eg lettuce)
cruciferous veg
Image captionHarriet is a big fan of spinach
Harriet Micallef, from Chippenham, says she often manages eight to 10 portions a day and has multiple portions of spinach every day.
She told the BBC: "I have a lot, I don't ever have a meal without veg or salad so eight to 10 portions is a regular thing."
She starts her day with a veg-packed omelette containing spinach and sometimes avocado or tomatoes.
Harriet's salad-based lunch is also packed with a mix of veg and her evening meals tend to be stir fries or stews.
Snacks during the day include blended fruit smoothies or peppers dipped in hummus.
She added: "It's definitely healthy, if you've got loads of colours on your plate then you're pretty much okay."
The results, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, also assessed the risk of dying before your time.
Compared with eating no fruit or veg a day, it showed:
200g cut the risk of cardiovascular disease by 13% while 800g cut the risk by 28%
200g cut the risk of cancer by 4%, while 800g cut the risk by 13%
200g cut the risk of a premature death by 15%, while 800g cut the risk by 31%

salad probably is good for 5 servings, and plate of sautéed spinach good for another 5

That sounds like too much sugar. Water is good though. Try to drink 64 ounces a day. Yep, 1 gallon.

Eat food.
Eat food.
Mostly plants.
Not too much.
-Michael Pollan, 2008

Pollan went further.....1.
Pollan went further.....
1. Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce, ask yourself, "What are those things doing there?" Pollan says.
2. Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.
3. Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with fresh foods when it goes bad.
4. Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. "There are exceptions -- honey -- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food," Pollan says.
5. It is not just what you eat but how you eat. "Always leave the table a little hungry," Pollan says. "Many cultures have rules that you stop eating before you are full. In Japan, they say eat until you are four-fifths full. Islamic culture has a similar rule, and in German culture they say, 'Tie off the sack before it's full.'"
6. Families traditionally ate together, around a table and not a TV, at regular meal times. It's a good tradition. Enjoy meals with the people you love. "Remember when eating between meals felt wrong?" Pollan asks.
7. Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.

Wealth is apparently good for one's health. Doesn't have to be that way though, free healthy school lunches and the government could subsidize fresh produce rather than dairy, meat and corn feed.
