Vegetable Nutrition Facts

There are several vegetable nutrition facts that you won't find on the label of a can of green beans or on a bag of frozen peas.

Although vegetables that are processed (canned, packaged or frozen) do require a nutrition fact label, fresh vegetables from the store, a farmer's market or your own backyard contain powerful nutrition that provide exceptional benefits for your health!

Similar to fruit nutrition, fresh vegetable nutrition facts include:

• Rich sources of vitamins and minerals needed by the body to work right;
• Packed with antioxidants, which counteract the effects of aging and help keep you younger looking;
• Fresh vegetables contain enzymes that the body needs for digestion and metabolism. Heat destroys these enzymes. The "Standard American Diet" emphasizes highly cooked and processed foods. These are actually "dead" foods, so-called because the live enzymes and other nutrients have been processed out.
• Fruit and vegetable in nutrition play a vital role in maintaining a balanced pH of the human body.
• Vegetables are low in calories and unlike fruits, most are extremely low in carbohydrate. Fruit and vegetable in nutrition provide the body with substances such as enzymes and antioxidants that are required by the body to function.
  
  Different types of vegetables have different combinations of these substances - that is one reason it's recommended to eat a variety of different vegetables.

I like vegetables well enough, but there's no way that I could eat enough every day to enjoy their health enhancing rewards. That's where one of the key benefits of juicing vegetables comes in! Juicing vegetables is the answer to getting all the nutritional power that comes with fresh vegetable consumption.

My husband and I enjoy creating new combinations of vegetable juice almost every day, and we feel better and better and find ourselves being able to do more things in life that we want to do because of the increased energy .

Increasing the amount of raw vegetable in your diet will reward you greatly! Plenty of raw vegetable in the diet has a huge impact on increasing wellness and reducing illnesses and non-optimum health conditions.

I can personally say that learning about vegetable nutrition facts and then discovering the benefits of juicing vegetables and actually incorporating it into my lifestyle has contributed towards regaining my health after years of health problems.

A final note on vegetable nutrition facts. Eating organically grown vegetables, whether you get them at a store, a local farmers market or picked fresh from your own back yard is the most beneficial to your body.

It's not necessarily because there is any major difference in the nutritional value between organically and conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, but the pesticides and types of fertilizer used in conventional farming are toxic to the human body and negatively affect health. Organically grown produce does not contain these toxins.

To your health!
