Okay, so i'm only 19 years old (What do i know, right?). I've always been terrible with eating enough veggies.
Turns out, you need 8-9 servings of veggies every day to promote overall health. (Immune system, nervous system, organ function, preventing certain cancers, etc.)
This is maybe a little more than 1 serving of green veggies:

I'm sure you can imagine how much 9 is
Not only do you want to get green leafy vegetables in, others are really good for overall health. Carrots, Peppers, Beats, Celery, Tomatoes, etc.
If you want to take advantage of the nutrients in all the vegetables. I highly recommend you start juicing. Its not impossible to get a decent amount of multiple veggies in every day, but its definitely not always easy (especially with the busy nature of the people here).
I juice this every morning:
- 4 Carrots
- 4 Stalks Of Celery
- 1 Beet
- 1 Apple
- 1 thumb of ginger
- 1 lemon
- 4 stalks of Kale
I also incorporate mixed veggies with my meals and blend spinach into my post workout shake (i'm bulking currently).
I feel amazing throughout my day, I rarely get sick anymore, and i'm sure my organs are thanking me for not only taking in all these nutrients, but removing the fiber and giving my digestive track a break.
I don't mean to neglect fruit as I get plenty of fruit in, but vegetables are more commonly neglected (EAT YOUR FRUIT GUYS).
Give it a shot, my body responded in a way i've never seen before by introducing juicing and more vegetables into my diet. It may not be the same for everyone, but there is no harm in getting enough vegetables in everyday.
