What Veggies Do You Like?
Today is National Eat Your Vegetable Day. Are you ready?
It is recommended that you are over age 51 that you eat two cups of vegetables a day if you are a woman and two and a half cups a day if you are a man.
The great news is that vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, perfect for adding to your healthy diet.
Additionally, they are low in sugar, sodium and fat. That’s the bonus.
Think about all the colors you can add to your day with veggies. The world is your oyster or perhaps in this case, your vegetable.
Green, red, yellow, orange, purple, white and on it goes. You choose what you like and then you can eat them raw, steamed, baked or broiled.
It’s amazing really and so delicious.
You get the most benefit from fresh vegetables, next would be frozen and last would be canned.
Leafy green veggies like kale and spinach are superstars but you can also get lots of goodness from peppers, carrots, peas, beets and sweet potatoes. The list is just the tip of the iceberg.
Do some research and you’ll discover just how great vegetables are for your healthy diet.
Private Home Health Care loves vegetables and we hope you eat some delicious veggies today and every day.
