Eating vegetables helps to promote clear skin by cleansing your digestive system.  Fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of roughage.  That is, when they are consumed because of their texture and fiber content, they cleanse the digestive system and move along previously consumed foods out of your body which helps keep it healthy. 

Vegetables are also packed with vitamins. Eating vegetables that are steamed lightly as opposed to cooked for a long period of time ensures that the vegetables retain valuable vitamins and minerals.  Vegetables should be firm and crisp and opposed to soft and soggy.
