You want to be healthy, right? So you eat a lot of vegetables. How wonderful!
But there are certain veggies, that do more harm than good. Would you like to know which ones?
It’s not quite black and white, but nightshade vegetables for instance, such as Potatoes, Eggplant, Peppers, and tomatoes, are very acidic to the body, and should be avoided, especially, raw, and especially in the fall and winter months, if you live in a colder climate.
Unfortunately, these four vegetables are extremely common in restaurant foods. Italian, Irish and even Indian Foods are high in most or all of these. Perhaps that is why so many of us have arthritis, knee and hip replacements, and heart problems.
Here are four vegetables that may bring health benefits:
- Winter Squash (butternut, buttercup, spaghetti, kabocha, etc.)
- Onions, scallions, leeks, chives, etc.
- Green Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage, Bok Choy, etc.
- Kale, Collards, Radish Greens, Turnip Greens, etc.
Soups, stirfries, salads, casseroles, even pizza can be made more healthy with these foods.
