Vegetables are a huge part of the Bulletproof Diet, and it is important to make sure that you are eating enough of them, and the right kinds. Organic veggies dont contain the pesticides and chemicals that commercially farmed vegetables do. These toxins require a lot of energy for your body to eliminate, taking precious resources away from other areas that can help you think and perform better. Non-organic veggies have also been shown to contain significantly fewer nutrients than organic varieties. Organic farming isnt the only thing you need to be mindful of, though. Some veggies contain much higher levels of anti-nutrients and compounds that plants developed to act as a defense against being eaten. These anti-nutrients can hinder performance just as much chemical pesticides and additives, and knowing which veggies have the highest amounts can go a long way toward improving everyday performance and energy levels. Cooking does inactivate many of these natural defense mechanisms, and the Bulletproof Diet Infographic lays out which veggies should be cooked to eliminate these anti-nutrients, and which are suitable to be eaten raw. The Bulletproof Diet calls for 6-11 servings of veggies a day, and up to 20% of your total calories, but choosing the right veggies to eat could make as big of an impact as how many veggies you get in your diet.
