Each of us repeatedly heard that vegetables and fruits are the most useful. Especially when it's not about seasonal "Fruitorianism" (after all, many people with great pleasure and complete satisfaction of hunger sit down on a three-month watermelon and fruit diet), but about their conscious eating when they want "potatoes with meat" more. In order to understand the importance of a diverse green menu for our entire body, it is necessary to clearly and clearly determine what vitamins are contained in fruits and vegetables.
Than are useful?
So, what exactly can we find in vegetables and fruits:
- cellulose;
- water;
- phytoncides;
- mineral salts;
- essential oils;
- vitamins.
It is at the last point and we will dwell in more detail.
What vitamins are found in fruits?
Many would be much nicer to find a source of vitamins in fruits. However, if in fruits and more vitamin C in general, than in vegetables, then in all other useful substances the advantage is clearly behind vegetables. In addition, the fruits have a lot of sugar, and sugar stimulates the appetite .

What vitamins are found in vegetables?
We will have to agree that vitamins in vegetables are an integral part of our diet, which can not be replaced by fruits or dietary supplements.
In addition to vitamins, a special feature of vegetables is that when they get into the stomach and oxidize, they increase gastric alkalinity, which promotes digestion. Therefore, the best side dish for "heavy food" is vegetables.
The most vitamin vegetables:
- carrots - provitamin A, E, C, B1, B2, B9, PP;
- dill - A, B2, B5, B6, B9, C, PP, E;
- paprika - A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, C, E, PP, K;
- garlic - C, provitamin A, B1, B2, PP;
- parsley - provitamin A, C, E, B1, B2, B9, PP;
- spinach - E, C, PP, B1, B2, B9;
- radish - provitamin A, B4, B9, C, K, B5, B1, B2, B3;
- beet - B9, B5, B1, C, PP, E.
Why do I need vitamins?
Each vitamin has its own role in the body, and in every fruit and vegetable there is a whole set of vitamins in one or another quantity. There are no "monovitaminous" fruits. Therefore, it is very important to consume a different set of fruits and vegetables every day, as eating a kilogram of oranges a day you will not get the amount of vitamin A that is in a persimmon, and eating only persimmon every day, do not expect to avoid a deficiency of vitamin C and calcium.
