Eat More Fruits And Vegetables

I always hear my mom telling me to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Although I really don't like the tastes of vegetables, I am forced to eat those because my mother told me so. And until I read about the significance of fruits and vegetables, I finally knew why my mother is always telling me to fill my plate with vegetables, and eat a lot of fruits during meals.

Since I can't visit my gym class regularly, eating vegetables and fruits can keep my body healthy and strong. I learned that there are several components in fruits and vegetables that our body needs. Particularly the Vitamin C that is mostly found in fruits, and potatoes. This vitamin protects us from free radicals.

In addition, green leafy vegetables provide the Vitamin B that we need. It helps us to prevent a coronary heart disease. We can also get the essentials minerals, like potassium and magnesium, from fruits and vegetables. Dietary fibre is also present in some fruits and vegetables. Fibers are important to help us wash away those bad elements in our body. Fibers also prevent us from certain cancers.
