Eat your greens! The benefits of green veggies.

Green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, are rich in essential nutrients and minerals. Including a variety of green veggies in your diet can help contribute to improved overall health and wellbeing. Here are some key benefits of incorporating green vegetables into your meals and snacks:

• Green vegetables are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamins A, B12, C, and K, and minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium. Vitamins and minerals help support your immune system, cells and organs.
• Green veggies are high in dietary fiber, promoting digestive health and regular bowel movements.
• Many green vegetables are abundant in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and carotenoids, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body.
• The potassium, folate and fiber in green vegetables contribute to heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.
• Green leafy vegetables, particularly broccoli, kale, and collard greens, are excellent sources of vitamin K and calcium for bone health.
