| There is no doubt that eating vegetables is part of a healthy diet.
Whether you have them on the side or as an entire meal, eating fresh vegetables can be a culinary delight. In fact, according to the Canada’s Food Guide, half of your plate should be made of vegetables and fruits and should make up the largest proportion of the foods you eat throughout the day. The health benefits of eating a variety of vegetables are numerous. They not only lower your risk of heart disease but also lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar which can help keep appetite in check (whew that’s a lot!). As vegetables have important nutrients such as fibre, vitamins and minerals, it’s important to preserve as many of these nutrients if you are going to cook them. The healthier cooking methods such as baking, roasting, steaming and stir-frying help to retain important nutrients and increases the flavour. So, pick up some fresh vegetables at your local Lococo’s. They have a sale on delicious Large Red Peppers for $1.99 / lb.
