at home my mom sees to it that we have vegetables everyday and i usually eat a portion during meals. when i was small i hate it when we have vegetables for my mom would really let us eat even a small portion of it but as i grow old i came to know the benefits of eating vegetables and i don't have to be prodded to eat it. how about you do you see to eat that you get a portion of vegetables and fruits everyday? what is your favorite vegetable?

I want to but I don't cook so I only eat what's offered. :) With that said, more often than not, we'd have stewed or fried meats or take-out than vegetables. I know, that's terrible and believe me, I do look for veggies in my diet... With regards to fruits, it is easy to get fruit where I'm at because I do live in a tropical country. I'd see a bunch of bananas or a whole papaya now and again in our kitchen and I do grab a banana or have a slice of ripe papaya after eating when they're there. But I do not look for it. My favorite vegetable would have to be... salad greens! Mostly because I love dressing, particularly, poppy seed dressing (I use just a little dressing, of course). And you can top them with croutons or mix in sliced fruits like kiwi, sprinkle in nuts... YUM! When I can, I grab them mixed salad greens in the grocery store. It's no muss, no fuss and it's oh so good for you!!! :D

Veggies!!! - Mmmm...all sorts of good stuff! I think I'll pick some up tomorrow!
Hi kenchiprincess, No, I deffinetly don't eat a portion of vegetables every day, but I probably should. I'll go pick some up tomorrow when I go shopping...I like to put them in my morning omeletts when I have them, and because I don't want them to go bad in my refrigerator, I usually prepare them for every meal, when I have them. Thanks for the reminder and... Happy MyLotting!

Yes, I make it a point that I eat vegetables everyday. It makes me more sick if I am not able to eat veggies. But if I'm not able to eat veggies in a particular day, like if I'm at a party or something, I drink food supplement that is made up of fruits and veggies. As we all know vegetable is really good for us. It gives a lot of nutrients than any other food like meat, junk foods etc. So see to it that you it a portion of vegetables everyday, for a healthy living.

that's true junk foods are not good for the health so it would be better to refrain from eating it. though we may have the urge on much on it at times but we have to remember that health is wealth. thanks for the post!!!

Yes, I try to. I try to eat as much vegetables and fruits as I can because my body needs it. In fact, people should get all of the major food groups every day.

Most of what I eat is fruits or vegetables, with some meat to compliment it at dinner and occasionally lunch and somewhat less frequently breakfast. I aim for a balance, ^_^' Favorite veggie? I like quite a few! Carrots, celery, potatos, corn, green beans, lettuces, pumpkins... I'll be trying new ones later, too.

Hello there. We do have the same experience. My mom also sees to it that every meal we have a vegetable at the table. Knowing that it contains lots of vitamins. I learned to love vegetables since I was a child until now that I reached 20. :-) Learn to love vegetables. They are our friend when our health is concern. Have a great day ahead!

Hello, Kenchiprincess. No, I do not eat a portion of vegetables everyday. I don't like vegetables. I can eat fruits, but it is not my habit either. Though I think I have a good meal, even without the vegetables. The fruits are not so hard for me to eat, but I don't do it everyday. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

You do realist you are supposed to eat FIVE portions of fruit and veg a day right? not just the one to maintain a balanced diet. I love vegetables actually even as a child I would guzzle brussel sprouts and broccoli by the portion load.I also loved cauliflower and spinach. Though I have always hated carrots and parsnips I just dislike the taste, I also don't really like fennel or any fruit or vegetable with an aniseed taste. My favorites at the moment have to asparagus, sweet potato and brussel sprouts though. Also love tomatoes but I guess they are really a fruit. We grow are own veg in our garden also this year we grew potatoes, parsnips, peas, runner beans, courgettes, tomatoes, onions, spinach, lettuce, beetroot and garlic.
