WHY EAT THESE VEGGY ? Perche' mangiare queste verdure ?


Very few get enough vegetables in their diet...but by knowing the facts maybe is easier to choose them when we shop !.

Here are a few of my favorite veggies and reasons why I suggest them to you "
kale Kale: An excellent source of vitamin K, kale’s many health benefits include reducing inflammation, boosting cardiovascular function, and aiding body-wide detox. The dark, leafy green may also play a major role in preventing multiple types of cancer.
broccoli Broccoli: For those looking to lower their cholesterol, the fiber in broccoli may be especially helpful. This cruciferous vegetable  is also packed with vitamins A, K, and D, a nutrient that most people chronically lack. This delicious veggie is also tied to cancer prevention, detoxification, and digestive benefits.
sweet potatoes Sweet Potatoes: Whether your sweet potato is orange, white, or even purple, it’s bound to do your body good. Not only are these tasty starches filled with antioxidants, but they may even help reduce the effects of heavy metal toxicity and regulate blood sugar levels.
zucchini Zucchini: Sometimes referred to as “courgettes” or “summer squash,” zucchini is high in Vitamin C; it’s also known for containing the duo of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids proven to promote eye health. Because of its high water content, zucchini is a great cooling food that’s perfect for hot summer days.
collard greens Collard Greens: Much like kale, collard greens have off-the-charts levels of vitamin K, and may even be better at reducing cholesterol levels than their leafy green cousins. To get the most from your collards, skip preparations including foods like bacon that are high in saturated fat.
