The Importance of Vegetables in You Diet

According to the School of Public Health at Harvard, we should eat between 6 and 12 servings of vegetables per day. On average we consume 3 servings. The medical benefits are numerous. Cancer, blood pressure, heart disease, macular degeneration as well as cataracts are but a few of the ailments that can be prevented by eating enough nutrients found in vegetables. Not only are they low in calories and fat but they contain vitamin
A, C, E, folic acid, fiber and potassium. Vitamin A is critical for eye health and good skin, Vitamin C contributes to healthy gums and teeth. Potassium helps reduce blood pressure and folic acid contributes to the formation of red blood cells.
