Hilda, I agree with all, so... How do you make people understand that's healthy and not stubborn?
Unfortunately, most people love food than being health conscious so even I myself love food. People are so stubborn they keep on eating while typing. Hmmmm so irresistible !
Vegetables are packed with tons of nutrients. Aside from the fact that they are low in fat and calories, and contain no cholesterol, you will also get a steady source of the following:
• Dietary fiber – This is important for normal bowel movement and good for your entire digestive tract. Dietary fiber is also known to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the body, lower the risk of heart disease, as well as fight off certain forms of cancers. If you are on a diet, you will also feel fuller faster. Some vegetables that are rich in dietary fiber are peas, carrots, cabbage and spinach.
• Potassium – This is a necessity for keeping blood pressure at normal levels. It is also important in keeping the brain, muscles and other tissues in the body functioning properly. Vegetables that are loaded with potassium include potatoes, squash, tomatoes, eggplant and celery.
• Vitamins A, B and C – Vitamin A is great for the eyes and skin. Vitamin C is necessary to maintain healthy connective tissues and is known to boost the immune system. Vitamin B is important for extracting the energy in the carbohydrates in several food sources. Carrots, asparagus, broccoli and green peppers are rich in Vitamin A. Broccoli, peas and beans are a great source of vitamin B. Your dose of vitamin C is supplied by red cabbage, kale, parsley and turnip.
Other vegetables and their vitamins worth mentioning include calcium, phosphorous, sodium, magnesium, iron, niacin, foliate, zinc and manganese.

One significant aspect of an anti-inflammatory diet involves the amount and the type of fats we include in our diet. It is important to:
v Increase the amount of good fats in your diet
v Eliminate the bad fats from your diet - eating fried or processed foods and transfats
Choose carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index. These are foods that are slower to digest - foods that are whole grain - like whole wheat bread or pasta, brown rice, sweet potatoes are just a few.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are most important when it comes to healthier eating. The less processed the food, the better.
