Vegetables are high in fibre which not only helps you feel good but also can help aid a health gut system as well as digestion. Eating vegetables with your daily meals are also great if you are on a diet watching a calorie or sugar intake. Most fruit and veg are naturally low in calories and are also quite filling. Try replacing a large amount of potatoes with wider selection of vegetables for your next meal.

Some surprising vegetables with great benefits is celery. Not only great for a Bloody Mary but because of the low calorie content in a large stick, it also provides phthalates which act as a natural diuretic aiding to lower high blood pressure.
