Let's Eat More Vegetables! But Why Bother? How?

Take-away message

Vegetables are an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Their rich fiber, vitamin, and mineral content are associated with various health benefits. To eat more veggies, it is important to dig deeper into your preferences: know your favorite and least favorite veggies and how you like them, have a few go-to recipes on hand, and go for that extra step of throwing in some veggies into your almost finished the main dish. You can also consider hide veggies in your pasta sauce, smoothie, and soup. Last but not least, you could also make it less stressful to eat your veggies by massaging or cooking them to reduce the volume.

But just as important as the quantity, the variety also matters. To ensure the intake of diverse beneficial plant chemicals, go for veggies of different colors. Doesn't it make your dish more appealing and appetizing to eat when you add a handful of roasted beetroots, carrots, or cherry tomatoes?
