Yes: Vegetables provide mineral, vitamins, fiber, folic acid. The fiber in vegetables is important to prevent constipation, and improve bowel movements. Good bowel movements, enables the body to get rid of toxins and cancer causing substances and maintains good colon health as well. It is good to have a balanced diet and include vegetables as part of the diet.
