There are very many different types of vegetables including the more common ones like tomatoes, carrots and onions and the less popular ones like brocoli, brussels sprouts and spinach, all of which are good for you.
A vegetable is any part of a plant (apart from the fruits) that is edible. They are recognized and widely accepted as being very healthy foods but if you’re not yet convinced that you really need to be eating vegetables that much, then you are in the right place and you can read on to see three ways eating vegetables can be good for your health:
1. Vegetables are very nutritious
Vegetables provide a substantial part of the nutrients we need everyday and are a requirement for a balanced diet. In fact, vegetables are so nutritious that people can thrive on eating them alone and still say healthy, just as vegetarians and vegans do.
Vegetables are high in nutrients such as potassium, folate, vitamins A, C and K, and etc.
2. Vegetables have lower calories
This is great news for people who are trying to stay in shape or lose some weight. As mentioned earlier, vegetables are packed full of nutrients but are also low in calories which means that you can eat as much as you want of a veggie meal, without having to worry so much about gaining weight from excess calories.
3. Vegetables can help prevent constipation, gas and bloating
Constipation happens when food gets stuck or fails to move, properly, through the digestive system. It gets stuck in the intestines, like a backed up pipe, and prevents the proper digestion of more food. Eventually, it also causes your belly to swell. Fortunately, a natural preventive remedy for constipation is simply eating lot’s of vegetables which are rich in fiber, a nutrient that aids in moving the digestive system.
Conclusion
Vegetables are very healthy and aid in a number of bodily processes; they are also low in calories, and to top it off, provide a number of options for snacks or proper meals throughout the day. Combined with moderate amounts of other foods such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, vegetables could make a major difference on your health.
