definition: Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals and help promote good health and aid in the prevention of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer, yet most countries today have a lower consumption of vegetables than is recommended. In the United States, a large majority of individuals do not meet the recommendations for vegetable intake. [Source: Encyclopedia of Lifestyle Medicine & Health; Vegetables]
