They are also a significant source of dietary fiber, which helps to maintain a healthy digestive system. Eating a variety of vegetables every day can help protect against chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Different vegetables contain different combinations of vitamins and minerals, and many are sources of antioxidants, which may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
