Dear Navahmaleeka,

Thank you for writing to NutritionVista.
Hmmmm....so you don't like green veggies, is it? But, did you know that green vegetables like spinach & radish leaves are filled with Carotene which can help your eyes sparkle?? If you eat these regularly, you may never have to wear spectacles.
Really!!

I am sure you want to grow up to be a tall & beautiful girl like Aishwarya
Rai, or Sushmita Sen, or Simran, may be? Well, green vegetables can help you
become taller & stronger because they have lots of calcium to make your
bones stronger.

Ask mom to cook a variety of green vegetables so that you get a whole lot
of nutrients from them. You can have them as soups, baked dishes and as
crunchy snacks [especially lettuce].

Next time, mom goes shopping, why don't you go with her and pick your choice of green vegetable and have her cook them for your lunch the next day. I am sure your mom will be proud of you if you learn to eat healthy!!

Enjoy.

Sincerely,

Padmashri Shanmugaraj
