Using cars every day and keeping household appliances plugged in aren’t the only ways we contribute to global warming. The way we eat does as well, mainly because producing and transporting food uses up energy and releases carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Meat-eaters are guiltier compared to vegetarians. It takes a lot more energy to produce livestock: Feed production includes using fertilizer, deforestation, and pasture degradation. Then there are the animals themselves, whose manure emits gases that contribute to greenhouse gases too. Vegetables, although needing transport, at least release oxygen from their leaves making for cleaner air.

Here are some of the good benefits from eating fruits, fish and vegetables to our body:

• Good benefits from banana
• Health benefits from eating pepper
• Why we should eat less meat
• Importance of tomato
• Ginger chicken soup
• Importance of fish to our body
