VEG TREAT, a healthy breakfast

Presently, every one has become very health conscious as due to our hectic lifestyle, people are affected with diabetics, kidney stone problems, hypertension etc etc.  People are less concerned about their food habits and eat junk foods which is one of the main reason for the obesity and the present ill health and diseases we are facing.

A balanced diet is very very important for the present life style.  Considering the health issues, I have started taking boiled vegetables for my breakfast which is very easy to prepare, quite filling and healthy too.  I am sure, you will also agree with me after trying this for a period of one month atleast.
