Let's eat vegetables!

■The work of vegetables

Vegetables contain a lot of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and pigments, that can improve the condition of the body.
Most of these nutrients cannot be made by our body, so we need to supplement them from vegetables.
Vegetables are indispensable foods for preventing constipation and infectious diseases, as well as preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and preventing illness.

■Do you have enough vegetables?

Vegetables required per day are 350g or more per day, and 5 to 6 dishes when cooked.
A survey in Yokohama shows that the average intake of citizens is short of about one dish.
If you think "Isn't enough vegetables?", Let's start with 1 dish plus.
