Healthiest Vegetables for Overall Wellness
Leafy greens such as spinach, kale and Swiss chard, along with cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, plus colorful options including carrots, sweet potatoes, bell peppers and tomatoes, rank among the most health-useful vegetables because they deliver high amounts of vitamins A, C and K, folate, fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients that support immune function, reduce inflammation, protect eyes and skin, aid digestion and help lower the risk of chronic diseases when eaten regularly as part of a balanced diet.
