What role do fruits and vegetables play in fitness diet?

Nutritionally speaking, vegetables and fruits mainly provide us with various vitamins and minerals. Most of them are low in protein, and the quality of protein is not comprehensive, and the fat is low. Therefore, it is difficult to be used as a source of protein, fat and heat in our diet.

The unique function of vegetables and fruits lies in the vitamin C they contain. Vitamin C is an essential substance for redox reaction in vivo, which is related to maintaining connective tissue, hematopoietic function and immune function in vivo.

Vegetables and fruits are also rich in minerals, especially calcium and iron, and other minerals such as potassium, magnesium, zinc and iodine are also rich.

In addition, vegetables and fruits provide limited nutrition from a nutritional point of view, but they play a great role in maintaining good health. This is mainly manifested in the fact that all kinds of vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber. Modern nutrition tells us that the low dietary fiber content in food is obviously related to many diseases, and eating more fruits and vegetables can prevent diseases including cancer.

From this point of view, in the practice of exercise and fitness, vegetables and fruits are an important guarantee for maintaining health, improving exercise ability and preventing diseases.
