Consume vegetables with every meal

Vegetables are the ultimate fuel for your body. They are high in nutrients and fiber, and low in calories. Just like your car needs the right grade of fuel to function properly, our bodies need the right fuel. If you use poor quality gasoline in your car, it will ultimately breakdown. Without a diet containing plenty of vegetables, ultimately our bodies will also break down. A diet lacking vegetables is directly correlated with many chronic diseases and cancers.
