How are we all still alive? Whats the physiological effects of not having veggies in the diet?
Asking as a new parent who’s toddler used to eat everything, but now understands what “greens” are and actively denies any attempt to feed him veggies, even disguised. I swear his tongue has an alarm the instant any hidden veggie enters his mouth.
I also have a coworker who goes out of their way to not eat veggies. Not the heathiest, but he functions as well as I can see.
In: Biology
Supplements, veggie juice, etc. can help and there’s often other sources for many of the things veggies are full of. They just aren’t going to have the same amounts.
But there’s probably some hidden veggies they get anyway (lentils, beans, potatoes).
So you can survive but it is associated with worse health outcomes to avoid veggies (cancers, heart disease, mental health, metabolic disorders, etc)
