Ep 30: Veggie VIPs

If I could give you one piece of health advice for you, it would be this: Focus on upping your fresh plant intake until you reach 6-8 servings a day. Mix and match, find different colors and sources, and eat up! I am guessing that you cannot OVER eat veggies. Ultimately, you want to eat as many veggies as you can, and make sure half of them are green and crunchy. Why? Because the healthier our gut is, the healthier our immune system, hormones, and metabolism become. Vegetables have hundreds or thousands of phytonutrients that help balance hormones in the body. Vegetables alone have the fiber needed to feed your healthy gut bacteria, which impact your immune function, hormone health, and metabolism. Vegetables have minerals, which help reduce intestinal absorption of heavy metals, like lead. Many vegetables help detoxify the body. Vegetables protect your brain. Vegetables help you burn fat AND work against weight gain. This episode explains how veggies are able to do all of these things - and helps you hear how to eat more of them!
