Fruits and Vegetables

[CMoneyFreshh]

Your parents have always told you to eat your fruit and vegetables when you were younger to grow up big and strong...


I'm wondering how true this statement really is. Obviously, meats are the essential source of nutrients. But what exactly do fruits and vegetables provide your body with in the process of building muscle?

They don't

There just healthy, and your parents want you to be healthy

Tell a kid a vegetable will give him super powers and he will eat it

Now that I have actually sat down and made a solid looking diet for myself, I added in some fruits and a ton of vegtables. In the morning I want to make a shake out of 1 apple, 1 orange, 1 tomato, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup parsley, and 2 large carrots. Also eating a can's worth of green beans, and a can of peas. Oh, and 1/4 cup raisins and 1 large banana in my breakfast oatmeal.

Fruits and vegtables are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, alot of which I have no idea what they do, and overall just promote general health.

I know spinach in particular is high in foliac acid, which apparently has something to do with muscle health. Damn it, now I have to research it.

Spinach is pretty cheap too. I bought 7oz. for like $4 something. 7oz. is a good bit considering it's so damn light, about 5-7 cups worth. Parsely was 99cent for a "clump", maybe like 2 cup worth

It barely has any calories though, 7cal for 1 cup. Celery, something known for having barely any cals, is 16cal for 1 cup

Same here. First I grabbed the 16oz plastic box and was like "Woah, don't need that much!", then put it back for the 7oz

Walmart has a decent looking one for 50$, and a better looking one (which I won't be purchasing) for 90$. In the mornings I'm just going to throw in the apple, orange, carrots, tomato, spinach, parsely, juice the hell out of it, then dump the pulp into the glass and drink the juice+pulp. Then I'll eat a proper breakfast an hour later

is V8 legit?

I read something once about v8 juice not being as good as they claim becuase it has alot of added sodium (vegtables already are decently high in sodium), it's made with concentrates, and it has all the preservatives and junk. Can't find the link...
