Why eat vegetables?
It’s quite common to hear during one's childhood “You have to eat your fruits and vegetables”, but why do we have to eat them? Many peoples adopt this life style like the vegetarians and vegans and they are doing great because this diet can improve your health more than you can imagine. I'm not here to tell you to stop eating meat, but I will show you why you have to eat some vegetables!
1°- As many people know, vegetables have vitamins and minerals. They are indispensable to our body's metabolism because they have a lot of enzymes that we need to function properly. The word "vitamin" is from the Latin <em>vita,</em> meaning life, and <em>mina</em> meaning amina (organic chemical component).
2°- They can prevent cancer and other diseases of the large intestine (and stomach) ! We can imagine, in a very simple way, that many of the diseases that appear in the large intestine are because of friction and the inflammatory process (many times caused by the friction). When we eat vegetables and fruits we are consequently taking in vegetal fibers which have the ability to absorb water and to retain the feces in order to promote the better contractibility of the large intestine and decrease the friction.
3°- They will nourish your bacteria! Yes, we all know that the large intestine has many bacteria, more than we can think about it, and they are very important for us (to prevent diseases, to absorb nutrients and to produce of nutrients) and a meal with vegetables and fruits improves the health of our bacteria.
