When it comes to vegetables, my general rule is "The greener, the better." It goes without saying as well that I only eat organic, locally grown veggies. If in case there's no organic vegetables where you're from, then make certain that you wash your produce carefully, peel it and remove the cores to lessen your exposure to harmful chemicals.
I also enjoy my vegetables as raw as possible. Cooking can destroy all those yummy essential micronutrients that my body loves so much. If I need a refreshing drink, then juicing vegetables is always on top of my choices.
That being said, here are five of my most favorite vegetables of all time.
- Broccoli - Helps in fighting cancer, detoxifying and boosting immune system.
- Bok Choy - Helps with digestion and very rich in beta-carotene.
- Spinach - Helps protect against osteoperosis and heart disease among others. Very rich in phytonutrient flavonoids.
- Lettuce - Aids in digestion and promotes heart health.
- Tomatoes - Contains Lycopene, a very good anti-oxidant. Promotes colon and prostate health.
