After the holidays, Im turning to these vibrant veggies to help me feel my best.
Even more so, excessive alcohol and added sugars can increase inflammation in my body.
But eating more of these vegetables doesnt have to break the bank.

Cabbage
Here atEatingWell, we love cabbage.
We use it in everything fromCaesar salad riffstocreamy casseroles.
And thats one of the main reasons I love cabbage so much: Its so versatile.
Its also really filling and satisfying, thanks to the ample fiber it contains.
Plus, its price point is tough to beat, andit lasts for up to 10 daysin the fridge.
Eating carrots can also help support your immune health, heart health, skin health and more.
Lately, Ive been making ourSheet-Pan Carrots & Chickpeas with Tahinion repeat and cant get enough.
Leafy Greens
Its probably not a surprise to hear thatleafy greens are healthy.
Theyre packed with fiber, vitamins and nutrients like folate, calcium, potassium and magnesium.
One thing I appreciate about leafy greens is that theyre one of the easiest vegetables to add to recipes.
Theyre flavorful, comforting and simple to make, especially when using one of ourBrussels sprouts side recipes.
And when it comes to inflammation-fighting vegetables, beets are pretty tough to beat (pun intended).
Beets are also naturallyrich in nitrates, which have been linked to improved circulation and blood flow.
