For an adult, the minimum intake of vegetables and greens in 24 hours should be at least 500 grams. If the amount of fiber intake decreases, symptoms such as constipation, digestive disorders, and decreased immunity occur.
The Sichuan University Center for Diabetes and Metabolism Research has proven that eating green vegetables alleviates the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. The researchers' work was published in the American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology.
