Veggies contain a lot of fiber, so you fill up faster. Case in point: An entire bag of spinach has just 20 calories, but tons of nutrients!
2. STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Eating a diet rich in green, leafy veggies - like broccoli and bok choy - has been shown to boost your body’s natural defenses. Get ready for fewer sick days and more fabulous ones!
3. KEEP YOUR SYSTEM RUNNING SMOOTHLY
Enzymes and fiber in plant-based foods make them easy to break down and use as energy and nourishment, so you’ll stay lean and enjoy improved digestion.
4. FEEL REFRESHED AND FULL OF ENERGY!
Dark, leafy greens are a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals and high-quality carbs that fight fatigue and replenish our bodies, especially in times of stress.
5. BRIGHTER, SOFTER, MORE BEAUTIFUL SKIN!
Vitamins in veggies don’t just keep you healthy inside, they also keep you looking youthful and sexy! “Damn girl, look at you! You’ve definitely been eating your greens!“
6. HAPPINESS AND MENTAL HEALTH!
Healthy nutrients boost your mood and improve brain function.
7. CHLOROPHYLL CLEANSE
All veggies are awesome, but green ones earn the gold star: They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment found in all leafy greens that cleanses and detoxifies your body while improving overall health and wellness!
Enjoy these low-calorie, nutrient dense veggies whenever you like. In-season produce is inexpensive, easy to prepare and very versatile! Whether you roast Brussels sprouts, grill bell peppers, drizzle steamed broccoli with balsamic, bake some kale and eat it like chips, or make a fresh veggie juice, the possibilities are endless.
