Eating Enough Green Vegetables

The daily recommendations differ depending on age, gender and activity level but fundamentally, according to the USDA, adults need between 2 and 3 cups of vegetables daily.

While that not may seem like a lot, many of us are not assembly the daily requirement. luckily many of  diet  meals are full of green vegetables.

And for those times when you don’t have a Diet-to-Go meal, just be sure to sneak in some vegetables with every meal (yes, even breakfast). Most vegetables can be cooked, steamed, stir-fried, sautéed and eaten raw.

Choosing  Green Vegetables

Green vegetables tend to go bad rapidly. So you need to eat them within a couple days of purchasing. To get a few extra days of edibility:

·                        Wash your the vegetables in cold water

·                        Put them in dry place

·                        Leave them out to dry totally

·                        Once they are totally dry, bundle the greens loosely between two paper towels and store in a large plastic bag.
