General Health Tips
Why Vegetable? (Part 3)
We enjoy a wide variety of vegetables because; different types of vegetables provide different nutrients. For example, asparagus is high in vitamin C and Foliate. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A.
So, carry on yesterday…
1. Whole Foods or Supplements?
Nutrients should come primarily from foods. Foods such as fruits and vegetables contain not only the vitamins and minerals that are often found in supplements, but also other naturally occurring substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases.
2. Eating vegetables is an easy way to help a poor diet become healthier again
First of all, it is proven that vegetables contain a number of antioxidants that may help to stop certain cancers from forming in the body.
3. Protect against diseases
Vegetables and fruit contain photochemical, or ‘plant chemicals’. Scientific research shows that if you regularly eat lots of fruit and vegetables, you have a lower risk of:
* Type 2 diabetes
* Stroke
* Heart (cardiovascular) disease – when fruits and vegetables are eaten as food, not taken as supplements
* Cancer – some forms of cancer, later in life
* High blood pressure (hypertension).
