After such a great Fathers day ! We now must concentrate on health and force the Vegetables to prompt good health. Enjoy another round of an Obscure National day.
NATIONAL EAT YOUR VEGETABLES DAY
National Eat Your Vegetables Day is observed annually on June 17. June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, and National Eat Your Vegetables Day is one more opportunity to remind everyone to continue with this part of a healthy diet.
Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
As part of the main meal or as a snack, vegetables can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Each vegetable has its own nutritional content though generally, they contain a little protein or fat and varying proportions of vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin B6, provitamins, dietary minerals and carbohydrates. They also contain a variety of other phytochemicals, some of which have antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. Many vegetables also contain fiber which is important for gastrointestinal function. Another benefit is the essential nutrients that vegetables contain that are necessary for healthy hair and skin.
When eating a diet consisting of the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, it may help lower the risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. These diets may also help to decrease bone loss and protect against some cancers. The potassium provided may help prevent the formation of kidney stones.
It is recommended by the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, to consume 3 to 5 servings of vegetables per day. This recommendation may vary, however, depending on age and gender. For most vegetables, one serving is equivalent of 1/2 to 1 cup and can be eaten either raw or cooked.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Make sure you consume your recommended daily allowance of vegetables. Use #EatYourVegetablesDay on social media.
HISTORY
We were unable to find the founder of National Eat Your Vegetables Day. I guess that means that they are in a vegetative state ?

Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for making us aware that June 17 is National Eat Your Vegetables Day
1. My youngest son has generally hated vegetables most of his 28 years. Now he prepares a dish with chicken and broccoli
2. my 31 year-old son as an amazing palate and nose which can discern spices and ingredients. He loves vegetables.
3. The 32 year old son who lives with us is vegetarian -almost :-)
As a child, I hated vegetables except potatoes, green peas and string beans :-)
