• Vegetables are low in fat, sugar and sodium, and contain no cholesterol. Vegetables provide you with complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
• Eat more raw than cooked vegetables. Cooking destroys many nutrients.
• Instead of boiling or baking vegetables, steam them—just until they’re tender, yet crisp. Steamed vegetables are tasty and nutritious.
