Green vegetables are supposed to be good for fighting disease and cancer,but I'm not sure what prevents/fights what.I do know that you need to think of a rainbow when choosing food.You need to eat a variety of colors each day for optimal health.Also,tea is rich in antioxidants,so having a cup every day will help.Do I do that?Heck,no.Now I have to get my third cup of coffee to wash down the fatty cereal I just consumed.ZOOM!

As everyone else has said, they do lots of good stuff, but the main thing with (specifically) green vegetables, is that they have antioxidants in them, which prevent you getting old.
The reason you age, is because you oxidise, just like how metal rusts. A diet high in antioxidants will slow this process down, so when you're 80, you'll still have a fairly healthy body.

They are healthy in general. Scientists and parents tell you for years to eat your veggies, and you have to have a delusion before you will listen?
