Vegetables help on digestion

While my father is reaching 100 kgs and because he is at an advanced age, he is giving me the opportunity of helping him to eat better. With "better" I mean having more meals, balanced meals with a more variety of foods. Right now I'm including vegetables everyday in main meals in order to facilitate my father's digestion. When my father is eating I notice he makes a big effort to eat and it made me understand that his effort is less when he eats vegetables.

In my point of view, the vegetables are the main group that cleans the body and helps the digestion, and facilitates the assimilation of food. If the person avoids vegetables on the main meals the person can have serious health problems and excess of weight will be just one of them. The main feature of the vegetables are their high content in fiber which are not only responsible for helping digestion but also the feeling of fullness that avoid person of eating more food. So if you need to lose weight, it is best to eat vegetables before the dish of proteins and carbohydrates so you feel less hungry when it's time to eat to eat the "dangerous" foods.

Finally, it doesn't matter if you want to lose or gain weight you should always eat vegetables. Not only for the fiber it contains but also for the necessary vitamins for the proper body functioning and its immunity.
