Sulfur compounds found in most varieties of onions may be responsible for its health benefits, including the possible lowering of cholesterol and blood pressure.</li> <li><strong>Garlic</strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">: </span>This fragrant bulb contains many of the same phytonutrients as onions, as well as antibiotic and antiviral compounds. It may help boost the immune system, prevent colds, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and fight fungal infections.</li> <li><strong>Spinach</strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">: </span>This dark leafy green (and others like it, such as kale and collards) contains lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidant carotenoids that may help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration. Spinach is also a source of calcium and folate, a B vitamin that helps to prevent birth defects. Buy organic spinach, since pesticides are commonly used on conventionally grown varieties.</li> <li><strong>Cabbage</strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">: </span>This low-cost yet highly nutritious cruciferous vegetable contains nutrients called indoles, which may protect against both breast and prostate cancer. It also provides significant amounts of fiber and <a href="http://www.drwei/" style="color: #1b3eb0; text-decoration: none;">vitamin C</a>.</li> <li><strong>Sweet potatoes</strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">: </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rich in beta carotene, these vegetables may help boost the immune system, deliver vitamin C and folate (which may reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent certain birth defects), and are low on the glycemic index and glycemic load charts.</span></li> </ol> <div> <span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 25.2px;"><b><a href="http://www.drweilblog.com/home/2016/2/5/10-vegetables-you-should-have-in-your-kitchen-part-1.html" target="_blank">Source</a></b></span></span></div> </div>
