Wheatgrass, bullshit?

Most 'superfoods' don't have miraculous effects unless you're consuming them in unrealistic quantities. Just focus on eating a good, balanced, unprocessed diet.

My friend does it.
It is just a fad.
All the nutrition in wheat grass you can get from other things for less.
You don't need any special shit to be healthy, just a good diet.

what kind of veggies should I start eating to have a good diet?

It doesn't really matter, as long as you have a good variety, including different colours. Potatoes are considered a carb, not a vegetable, by the way.

All veggies.
Switch up every now and than.
Someone once told me a general rule is to have one of every color on your plate in one meal.

So if i were to go to the supermarket right now to get some vegetables, what if i just got a bag of mixed frozen veggies? Broccoli, green beans, and carrots mix. Would that be good enough for my daily nutrient intake?

That's a good start, but throw in some leafy greens like spinach. Also take a look at the fresh produce, in-season fresh produce tastes good and is good for you.

What does that mean? Like strawberries and stuff?

>>18700537
It means whatever is in-season where you live. It depends on the season and the location. I don't know where you live, so I can't answer that. Your best bet is to go to a farmers market though.

I would not recommend frozen box veggies.
You should get fresh veggies from a market of some kind.

How come? I heard they still retain their nutrietnts? More info would be appreciated on the 'why' part.

>>18700594
To be honest i have no idea i just have a frozen food bias. Plus fresh veggies taste better.

Frozen veggies are good if you don't have access to fresh and local produce. They retain most of their nutrients are are picked at peak freshness. Frozen veggies trump fresh when fresh veggies aren't good quality, are out of season/region, or are picked too early/late.

I stopped paying attention to health food fads when kale, a so-called superfood, was found to have a lower nutrient density than good, green lettuce. Not iceberg, but a rich green.

To stay healthy, eat a good variety of food, avoid junk food for the most part (occasional treats are good for your mental health), eat fresh and whole foods when possible, and cook food but not too much.

When it comes to nutrients, you body knows what it needs. If you crave beef, fish, vegetables, fruits, listen to your body. Junk food cravings can be substituted with healthier options.
