By Sienna Nalin


Some of us may not be fans of vegetables; I admit I do not like them (I give exceptions to carrots and pickles). The thing is as much as some of may not like them; we need them for our bodies to function properly. Without vegetables we are not getting the vitamins and so forth that we need. Without all these things our bodies need from vegetables our body is not able to cleanse itself. Here is a nutrition analysis of vegetables!

Vegetables are very necessary because of the affects that they have on your body. As previously noted, vegetables offer many vitamins and minerals. They also are low in fat. The vegetables that you should really eat are the ones that are yellow, green or orange. These colored vegetables are high in vitamins.

Vegetables along with fruits can help with many things, but the important things that vegetables can do for you is fight disease and cancer. Vegetables boost your immune system so that it can fight diseases that do attack your body.

Additionally, vegetables are packed with soluble as well as insoluble dietary fiber known as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) such as cellulose, mucilage, hemi-cellulose, gums, pectin...etc. These substances absorb excess water in the colon, retain a good amount of moisture in the fecal matter, and help its smooth passage out of the body. Thus, sufficient fiber offers protection from conditions like hemorrhoids, colon cancer, chronic constipation, and rectal fissures.

Vegetables are very important, and many see that from the fitness world to doctors. The nutrition that you can get from vegetables is amazing and much needed.

Furthermore, human body spends a considerable amount of energy for the metabolism of foods, which is known as BMR or Basal metabolism rate. So just imagine when you add lots of vegetable nutrition in the diet, in fact, you set to lose more weight than you would gain, Right!..This is the concept behind the "negative calorie foods."
