Vegetable Vitamin
Battles over eating vegetables was a common thing in my family – until I found this vegetable vitamin or whole food multivitamin.
Kids don’t usually like veggies and my kid is no exception but it was my grown husband that caused the most battles. He seemed to be on a mission to never let any vegetable cross his lips. This made it hard to get our son to eat them and the battles got to be too much for all of us.
I started taking our son to the farmer’s markets with me so he could meet the farmers and learn where his food comes from. Luckily he has grown into eating some vegetables and will ask me to cook things like asparagus. Not so for his dad!
Sure you can try sneaky ways to hide veggies in other food but is it really worth it? I did all of this and it rarely worked. And no green veggie will even land on hubby’s plate.
I know how important vegetables are for health so I was not going to give up on hubby eating them. Studies are overwhelming in showing how a diet rich in vegetables prevent diseases, help with inflammation, are anti-aging and may even control existing health issues. Now how to get these wonderful natural healers in my hubby….
For people who don’t eat vegetables there is a bit of help with a green food vitamin or vegetable vitamins also called whole food multivitamins. These whole food vitamins are not the same as eating the veggie! There is no way I could eat 25 vegetable and herbs everyday. These are an additional benefit to any diet and gives your body the valuable nutrients from vegetables.
Not all whole food supplements are equal. Some have artificial food colors, sugar, preservatives, synthetic ingredients or fiber. Fiber is a healthy thing and we all need it but not in our vitamins. When fiber is added to our vitamins it takes valuable space from the veggies and other healthy ingredients you are paying for.
The green pops from Whole Food Nation are a vegetable sourced multivitamin. It’s not your run of the mill whole food multi. It has 77 ingredients in each capsule and no it isn’t the size of a horse pill. I swallow the capsule or open it and dump the contents on a salad or blend in a smoothie. They smell like spices not vitamins!
Add some good nutrition to your daily diet with a good whole food vegetable vitamin supplement.
