Hello Everyone!
The average person gets three servings of vegetables a day, which is far less than the recommended five to 13 servings, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Eating vegetables can help you prevent heart disease, maintain a healthy blood pressure, prevent certain types of cancer and even prevent cataracts and macular degeneration. Still, people do not eat enough vegetables. People who eat more vegetables have a lower risk of heart disease or stroke. Vegetables provide fiber, which aids in digestion. Eating vegetables can reduce your risk for diabetes, prevent kidney stones and decrease or prevent bone loss, according to the MyPyramid website. Vegetables also are a great low-calorie substitute for high-calorie foods or snacks.
