Eat vegetables. Live longer. The World's Healthiest and best testing Veggies

Today I had for lunch stuffed belgian endives with grilled chicken. I and my clients love this reciepe. This reciepe is courtesy of FITNESS CHEF Alejandro. As a personal trainer I have to motivate my clients daily to eat healthier and change their lifestyle and eating behavior.
I will try to explain here why you should eat more veggies in your diet if you are serious about your fitness goals.
Eat more veggies. Live longer. Look great.
Vegetables have so many benefits for your health.
Veggies have:
- minerals and vitamins
- flavonoids (plant chemicals that act like antioxidants)have been reported to have antiviral, anti-allergic, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antioxidant activities.
- saponins (plant chemicals that have a bitter taste) helps humans fight fungal infections, combat microbes and viruses, boost the effectiveness of certain vaccine and knock out some kinds of tumor cells particularly lung and blood cancers. They can also lower blood cholesterol thereby reducing heart disease.
- phenols (organic compounds in foods) blocks the formation of carcinogens.
- carotenoids (vitamin A like compunds). Preliminary and experimental studies suggest that a higher dietary intake of carotenoids offers protection against developing certain cancers (e.g., lung, skin, uterine, cervix, gastrointestinal tract), macular degeneration, cataracts, and other health conditions linked to oxidative or free radical damage.
- isothiocyanates (sulfur containing compounds). They don't allow carcinogens to be activated. Isothiocyanates have been shown to be especially effective in fighting lung and esophageal cancers
- source of dietary fiber
