Greetings dear steemians. It's been a while, I have been away for unavoidable reasons. Am here today to share with you the benefits of consuming vegetables.

There are enormous benefits in consuming vegetables regularly especially if we are able to consume it on a daily basis. Not only do they fill our stomachs,they also play a great role in building our immune system.
Some vegetables such as tomatoes, bitterleaf, spinach, huckleberry, cabbages,beans,cucumber and a host of others can be grown by almost every household at a back door level by just creating a small garden.

They are easy to grow and manage can be consumed almost everyday. Growing them help reduce hunger and food insecurity which is currently on a rise in our communities. They are natural energy sources and they give the body the necessary nutrients to carry on with our daily activities.

Veggies can be used for many purposes. some such as sweet potato for example can be used to make flour. The flour produced from the potato can be used to make variety of pastries and breakfast meals to carry the day.

They help us build our immune system and lower our rate of exposure to illnesses. They are rich in vitamins and minerals which are essential for the body.
They cleanse our system and reduce the rate of accumulation of toxins thereby limiting the risk of cancer. They reduce heart diseases and lower elevated blood pressure as well as protect the brain.
For those who are into 'watching weight', veggies are the essential ingredients for their everyday diet as they help slash calories.
We can see that veggies are a daily necessity for our body system boosting and good health. Thanks for reading.

You are very right. I have a problem now with today’s production of these veggies because almost 90% is chemicallized and with that there is a lot of chemical food residues. I pray we farmers can go organic so that we can for ever enjoy natural veggies as before.

We just have to sensitize farmers about the harms associated with chemicals
