"The costs are minimal and the results are huge. We should teach people to eat more fruit and vegetables. The essence of the idea is that in canteens at enterprises and in other eating places people will see plates with free greens at the tables. They can add to their dish cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage, and so on," he explained.

According to specialists, eating such products protects a man from the development of stroke, heart attack, and other heart diseases.

As it was reported by the Ministry of Health of the Penza region, the deputy head of the department Oksana Chizhova ordered to consider the possibility of introducing the project in hospitals.
