Day 4: Let My Diet Boost My Mood

Tip #4: Vegetables

Use vegetables to add a savory taste to any meal.

Benefits of Eating Vegetables

Eating vegetables reduces the risk of developing most chronic diseases. They are also rich in Vitamins A, E, and C! For pregnant women, consumption of vegetables can help in developing red blood cells and preventing conditions such as Spina bifida.

How to make it a habit?

Vegetables add savory taste to dinners. Making sure vegetables are on the side or mixed in makes for a tasty meal. Now that dinner’s taken care of, how about the rest of the day? Vegetables are awesome to add to a protein shake or smoothie! If you have a juicer, just put your veggies through for a nice refreshing drink.

If you have time the night before, when prepping for your lunch and snacks, add a couple bags of raw vegetables with a side of a healthy dressing or add them to a pasta salad with a healthy vinaigrette. There are so many ways to eat them!
