Eating veggies seems like a no brainer when it comes to healthy diet. Science suggests that it might be the right thing to do for almost everyone. What are the benefits? Which fruits and veggies are the best? Let\u2019s investigate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fruits and veggies can help you lose weight<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Science suggests<\/a> that if you eat your fruits and veggies you might have an easier time reaching your optimal weight. That\u2019s because whole produce, especially non-starchy vegetables and fruits are full of fibre and water. Those two things help you feel full and allow you to spontaneously eat fewer calories. For example, you\u2019d have to eat around 15 medium carrots to get as many calories as from a fast-food hamburger.<\/p>\n

\"Carrots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fruits and veggies can reduce disease risk<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Probably the most important reason to eat plenty of vegetables is your health. Veggies are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and valuable phytonutrients. There\u2019s a large body of scientific evidence showing that eating more produce helps prevent a wide range of diseases including heart disease<\/a>, stroke and cancer. Plus, there\u2019s a growing number of studies suggesting that eating plenty of veggies may even lower the risk of developing neurodegenerative disease.<\/a><\/p>\n

Get all five colours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Eating vegetables and fruits is a simple thing that science suggests could have huge benefits. So, which ones should you eat? Is it blueberries because they are rich in antioxidants, or raspberries because they have a lot of fibre? Fortunately, there\u2019s no single winner. You will do best if you eat a variety of both fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"Fruits\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each vegetable contains a unique spectrum of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals<\/a>, and phytonutrients. The more different kinds you can get into your diet, the better. You can use colour as a simple way to ensure variety. The colour of a fruit or vegetable typically tells you which phytonutrient it is rich in. So, if you focus on getting some fruits and veggies of each of the following five basic colours every day, you will do great!<\/p>\n

Green<\/strong> \u2013 spinach, broccoli, romaine lettuce, cabbage, green beans, brussels sprouts, kale
\nRed<\/strong> \u2013 tomato, cranberry, cherries, raspberries, red cabbage, grapefruit, chilli peppers, papaya
\nOrange<\/strong> \u2013 citrus fruits, squash, carrots, ginger, peaches, sweet potatoes
\nWhite<\/strong> \u2013 garlic, onions, apples, coconut, parsnips, celery root
\nPurple<\/strong> \u2013 red beet, eggplant, blueberries, plums, blackberries, grapes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
