I must, must, must start eating vegetables [And not starches/tomatoes. Real ones.]. I avoid them all the time, and I don’t think about it. But it occured to me today how little I eat them, and how bad the consequences will be in later years if I don’t start eating them.
Vegetables stall mental decline, and I don’t want to be an idiot. I really don’t want demensia or alzheimers. So I have to start eating them.
I figure that if I think about which ones I either like or tolerate, and actually make an effort to eat them every day, then I’ll be able to do it.
So far, I’ve thought of:
Waterchesnuts
Raw Spinach/Salad
Corn [Which is not all that great, and there’s so much corn in everything anyway.]
Raw carrots
Cucumbers
Steamed broccoli
I’m not a big fan of vegetables, as you might tell by the length of the list. And in my experience, fresh things tend to go bad. So I always assume that all bagged vegetables are probably rotted, and then I don’t eat them. I need to stop that, though. MUST HAVE VEGGIES!
We usually have spinach in the fridge, so I suppose I should start eating some in the morning instead of cereal. I’ll start tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll go downstairs tonight and have some. It’s a bit late, but if I start tomorrow I may forget.
