When it comes to vegetables, most of us aren’t eating enough. Research suggests that only one in 10 Americans are getting their “five a day,” while more than 25 million Brits are also struggling to fill their plates with greens. So the question around vegetables is rarely “Can you eat too many?” and usually “How do you eat more?” After all, vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, all of which benefit our health in a big way. But that said, you can have too much of anything. If you’re only eating vegetables, for example, you might run into some issues, so the answer when it comes to a healthy diet is, say it with us, balance. Have your broccoli and eat it, too, but don’t forget all the other nourishing, delicious plant foods out there as well. And of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the occasional treat.
