Low-calorie and low-fat: fruits and especially vegetables are very low in calories and fat, which means you can eat more to keep you feeling full without worrying about extra calories or fat.
Low in salt: fruits and veggies contain only trace amounts of sodium. Many people think that celery is high in sodium, but in fact, one stalk contains a mere 30mg, which contributes 1 percent to the recommended daily value.
Fight diseases: vegetables and fruits contain phytochemicals, which are biologically active substances that can help protect against some diseases. That means it can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer by adding them into your diet.
Good source of fiber: fruits and vegetables have plenty of fiber to fill us up and boost gut health, but some have more than others. Fiber-rich vegetables include artichokes, green peas, broccoli and cauliflower. High-fiber fruits include raspberries, pears, apples and pumpkin.

I have learnt our style of eating here in our Ghanaian community. Lately people eat according to their taste and preference, which aren't helping their health status. Could you imagine yesterday I was chatting with a friend that she said she can't eat. I inquired why so, only to know that some of these vegetable and fruits mentioned here aren't her preference, but she likes the creams, cans and already package foods. By the way, thanks for this great education about our health.

Yes you have said alot, @oppongk we eat according to our taste. The fact is health education is undermined and it is a very big problem, i just hope we get to see more values of eating right , most especially eating fruits and staying healthy. How is the situation in Ghana now?
