Vegetables Become "Prescription Drugs" in the United States
According to The New York Times, in some parts of the United States, spinach, beets, and other vegetables have been included in doctors' prescriptions to combat obesity in low-income families. We might as well adopt this method and remind patients to eat more vegetables when doctors prescribe.
The U.S. Public Science Center has rated 85 common vegetables and identified the top ten with the highest nutritional value for reference when purchasing. They are: spinach, kale, radish greens, lettuce, pumpkin, mustard greens, sweet potatoes with skin, broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers.
The Most Basic Principle of Eating Vegetables Is:
Each person should ensure they eat 300-500 grams daily, preferably more than five varieties. Ren Lili believes that the more types of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and fungi consumed daily, the better, especially fungi such as mushrooms and black fungus, which should ideally be included every day. In terms of quantity, 100 grams of raw vegetables, when cooked, is roughly equivalent to a tennis ball size, so eating five tennis ball-sized servings of cooked vegetables daily is equivalent to consuming 500 grams of raw vegetables. Furthermore, to change people's "bad habit" of not liking vegetables, experts from various countries are actively brainstorming solutions.
