Why is it necessary to eat vegetables?There are three processes that occur in the body, namely combustion (power), construction (growth) and settings. To get the power, the body requires carbohydrate, fat and protein. Meanwhile, to grow and develop necessary protein and water. And to arrange all this process to occur there must be vitamins and minerals derived from vegetables and fruits.

Drinking a glass of juice in the morning and another one in the afternoon or evening can be a considerable effort. But because the number of fibers lost in the processing of juice, so not a good idea if only rely on juice alone. And do not forget, also note variations in the type and color of the fruit you will eat. Each type and color has its own advantages.
