Pip’s answer
- Vegetables give your body tiny helpers called vitamins that keep you strong and well.
- Some help your eyes see, and some help cuts get better fast.
- A part of them called fiber helps your tummy move food along.
- Ooh, a rainbow of colors on your plate means a rainbow of helpers!
For grown-ups
Vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and fiber the body needs. For example, vitamin A helps eyes, vitamin C helps heal cuts, and fiber keeps digestion regular. Different colored vegetables contain different nutrients, so eating a variety gives the widest range.
