Eating more vegetables: a lifesaver on your plate

Did you know that the foods we choose directly influence our health? And among them, vegetables occupy first place.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can be a real lifesaver. But why are these colorful foods so important?

A treasure of nutrients

Vegetables are an inexhaustible source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. These powerful compounds protect us from chronic non-communicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Each bite of broccoli, spinach or carrot is like a dose of vital energy for our body.

• Fiber: It is essential for good digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels and contributes to the feeling of satiety.
• Vitamins and minerals: Essential for the proper functioning of all the cells in our body.
• Antioxidants: They fight free radicals, which damage our cells and accelerate aging.

Beyond prevention

The benefits of a plant-based diet go beyond disease prevention. A diet rich in vegetables can:

• Improve cardiovascular health: Reduce cholesterol, blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.
• Strengthen the immune system: Increase our ability to fight infections.
• Promote healthy skin: Thanks to its high antioxidant content.
• Increase energy: Vegetables provide us with sustained energy throughout the day.

Gomasio: a special touch

To give an extra touch of flavor and nutrients to your dishes, I recommend Gomasio. This Japanese condiment is made from toasted and ground sesame seeds with a pinch of sea salt. It is an excellent source of plant proteins, healthy fats, minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and antioxidants. Sprinkle a little Gomasio on your salads, soups or sautéed vegetables and you will enjoy an irresistible flavor and extra nutrition.

Including more vegetables in our diet is one of the best decisions we can make for our health. Their high content of essential nutrients and their ability to prevent chronic diseases make them an essential food on any plate. 

So, go ahead and experiment with new recipes and discover the delicious world of plant-based eating! Your body will thank you!

Remember! Always consult a health professional before making significant changes to your diet.
