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.
• 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.
