This likely isn’t the first time you’ve been advised to eat your vegetables, but I’m going to add a new declaration: Eat your vegetables, especially the ones you may not particularly like. This may be one of the easiest ways to reduce the leading cause of death for men and women of all racial and ethnic groups in the United States—heart disease.
If you’re not a vegetable eater, you technically may get your two to three servings per day by fitting in things like potatoes, carrots, and corn (which isn’t actually a vegetable, by the way). But while those may be some of your favorite veggies, and they do have many health benefits, they’re not the most nutritious options.
