Re: what veg. do you guys eat to keep in shape?
it's more what you don't eat which is the issue.
I think I've had V8 juice only a couple of times in my entire life but i eat at least 4 different vegetables daily (most of these only when they are in season)..... broccoli potato capsicum mushrooms cabbage brussel sprouts asparagus zucchini (courgettes) spinach sweet potato pumpkin eggplant (aubergine) bok choy beans peas corn |

Re: what veg. do you guys eat to keep in shape?
Right now I am learning about nutrition for young children and one thing that is suggested is that you eat by color. This covers fruit as well.
Green: asparagus, avocados, broccoli, cabbage, peas, spinach, etc. Red: cherries, plums, raspberries, red bell peppers, grapefruit, tomatoes, etc. Orange/Yellow: apricots, carrots, lemons, oranges, pumpkins, yams, etc. Blue/Purple: beets, blackberries, eggplant, prunes, etc. White: apples, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, etc. Each color represents different nutrients. Green is vitamin A, C, and E and the green leafy ones are high in iron. Red is lycopene and carotenoids. Orange and yellow are beta-carotene and vitamin C. Blue and Purple are bioflavonoids and ellagic acid. White is organosulphidies. The deeper the color the higher in nutrients. You want a variety of color in you diet, like at least one from each color a day. |
