Vegetables make up a big part of our lives, but what do we really know about them? We know what they look and taste like, and that we should eat them every day. But why it is important to eat vegetables?

Eating vegetables will improve your health, mood, physique, and sleep patterns. It will also increase your energy, boost brain function, and may help defend against diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

There are many reasons why vegetables are important but we can group them into 5 main points:

Nutrition
Vegetables are our main source of vital nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Each vegetable has unique nutritional content. This is why it's important to eat a wide range of different vegetables.

Gut Health
The fiber in vegetables is essential for gut health. We need fiber to keep our digestive systems running smoothly.

Balanced Diet
As well as being super nutritious, vegetables are low in fat, sodium, calories and don’t contain bad cholesterol. This means that they should make up a large part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Disease Prevention and Defense
Eating vegetables regularly will boost your immune system. It can also help prevent diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer.

Boost Physical and Mental Performance
It’s a fact, we feel better when we eat more vegetables. Not only does eating vegetables improve your mood but it will also improve your physical and mental performance.

The best vegetables to eat are organic ones or better still, ones that are grown at home from vegetable seeds. When you’re choosing the best vegetable to eat or grow then the following ten should be on your list:
Garlic, Beets, Carrots, Spinach, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Asparagus, Swiss Chard, Green Peas, Sweet Potatoes.

What Happens if you Don't Eat Vegetables?
If you don’t eat vegetables then you’re not giving your body the fuel it needs for optimum performance. An insufficient intake of vegetables can lower your immune system and leave you feeling low, unmotivated, tired, and stressed out.

When you don’t include vegetables in your diet, you’re more susceptible to a whole range of chronic illnesses. These include high blood pressure, diabetes, scurvy, osteoporosis, and even blindness. The fiber in vegetables helps your digestive system work and makes you feel full and satisfied.

Are Potatoes Vegetables?
There’s a lot of debate surrounding the health benefits of potatoes. Questions are often raised about whether or not they contribute to your daily recommended vegetable intake. Potatoes are vegetables. But because they’re full of starch and often consumed in unhealthy ways they’re not considered to be a healthy vegetable.

However, potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. To enjoy the maximum nutritional benefits of potatoes then eat them steamed or boiled with their skins on.

As you can see from these vegetable health facts, vegetables are an essential part of our diet. Without vegetables, our bodies can't function properly, we’re more prone to illness and generally have less vitality. When you make the effort to eat more vegetables, you´ll notice the health benefits immediately.
