5 Vegetables You Should Eat Daily And Why It is important for all of us to consume vegetables every day because they are a major source of nutrients and they include, both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins that our bodies need. Some vitamins can be stored for future use and others cannot. Some of the vitamins that can be stored in the body are called fat-soluble vitamins and include vitamins A, D and E. The body also needs water-soluble vitamins, some of the most important of which are, the "B-complex" group that holds, vitamins B12, B5, B6, B12 and others, along with, biotin, choline and folic acid. Our bodies need the water-soluble varieties each day, and because our bodies cannot manufacture them, the only way to get them is from the food we eat.
