This Week start eating as many
vegetables as possible
Try to eat at least 3 servings of vegetables every
day. The more, different types of vegetables the better since each
vegetable gives you different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.
When ever possible buy Organic vegetables since they
do not have chemicals that you are putting into your body, and they have
been shown to contain more nutrients than regular vegetables. Fresh or
frozen vegetables are much better for your body than vegetables from a
can. If you buy fresh vegetables that are not organic make sure to use a
fruit and vegetable spray soap to clean them (you can find this at a
health food store.)
The best ways to prepare vegetables are raw or
steamed. With boiling or other cooking with water some of the nutrients
is released to the water. Try to avoid cooking in butter, oil or with
other additives.

vegetables for you to eat:
