If I don’t pay attention, I won’t eat enough vegetables. Even when I do pay attention I still don’t eat enough (but get closer). Paying attention to what you eat is important for your health.
Some tips from the video.
- Eat a wide variety of vegetables, to get the benefits each offers.
- Cruciferous vegetables have cancer preventing benefits and enhancing the immune system. Vegetables in this category include broccoli and cauliflower.
- Berries also have chemicals that aid in the prevention of cancer.

I watched a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It talked about the importants of phyto nutrients from raw food and vegetables. It’s a wonder that we actually think a Ding Dong is actually “food.”

I can’t get enough vegetables, even when I try. I have made it a priority to go to our local farmers market to pick up some variety that is not offered in the supermarket.
