People who eat fruit and vegetables as part of their daily diet have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases.
Vegetables are an important part of healthy eating and provide a source of many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate (folic acid) and vitamins A, E and C.
Options like broccoli, spinach, tomatoes and garlic provide additional benefits, making them a superfood!
The nutrients in vegetables are vital for health and maintenance of your body.
Eating a diet rich in vegetables may reduce risk for stroke, cancer, heart diseases and type-2 diabetes.
Here are a few benefits of what vegetables can help with.
Bloating:
Although you may associate vegetables with a
bloated belly, most vegetables actually do the opposite.
Vegetables are rich in fiber, which flushes out waste and
gastric irritants and prevents constipation by keeping the
digestive tract moving.
Having a “ youthful glow “ :
Vegetables prevent unwanted signs of aging and keep skin
young and supple thanks to phytonutrients, vitamin
and high water content.
Helping your bones :
Most people think of dairy foods as the bone protectors,
thanks to their high calcium and vitamin D content. But
some vegetables also have these same nutrients in addition
to bone-building vitamin K, magnesium, potassium and
prebiotic fiber.
