What would happen if you didn't have fruits and vegetables?

Answer 1

Fruit and veg contain many necessary minerals and vitamins to ensure you stay healthy. For example the skin your biggest organ to stay healthy needs vitamin c which is found in all the citric fruits. Citric fruits are Lemons, Oranges etc.

May I suggest that you look up on line the various fruits and veg to see for yourself exactly what they contain.

You will DIE!

Answer 2

They will be lacking vitamins, C,K at least(maybe another poster can add others only found in plants)Getting little fibre,The digestive system will be unhealthy, with a lot of toxins and a greater risk of cancer.the person probably would'NT smell very nice either.

the Inuit natives live on fish and sealmeat only, but their bodies have partly adapted, with the help of high levels of omega 3&6,but they still bruise and bleed easily.

Without complex carbohydrates and vitamins from fruits and vegitables your body would eventually lapse into a condition called more commonly: scurvey. If you remember your pirate lore, this disease was the undoing of many pirate crews due to the inability to simply land and pick up fresh supplies for fear of death. Simply, your body needs sugar. Naturally occurring within your body is a process that stores excess sugars and carb's as glycogen which is deposited in the liver. As the body needs more carbohydrates, these glycogen stores are broken down and, once depleted, the body starts breaking down muscle tissue. A condition called ketoacidosis develops and can be life threatening if not properly treated. Besides the metobolic content (which is much more involved then I've eluded too above), you would see outward signs. As above, a fruity odor on the breath would be prominent. Also thinning hair, weak teeth, and brittle nails just to name a few would be rather evident.
