Posted on Jul 14th 2008 6:00AM by Maggie Vink
Mom knew what she was talking about all those years ago. But are you eating enough vegetables now? Most adults aren't.

Almost everyone could stand to increase their vegetables intake. Veggies contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber so they pack a powerful health punch; veggies can reduce your risk of many chronic diseases including stroke, heart disease, and some cancers. In addition, when your diet is comprised of many whole foods, like vegetables, you know you're giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs -- no supplements necessary!

AOL Health has a quick quiz to help you determine if you're getting your share of vegetables each day.
