(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 12, 2013 ) Durango, Colorado -- If your New Year's Resolution list includes a promise to lose weight, a good approach is to supplement your exercise routine with an increased intake of vegetables and replace unhealthy snacks. Unfortunately, it can be tough to eat an increased amount of vegetables, especially if you think that vegetables are boring.

Increase your vegetable intake has many benefits that aren't often considered. Not only are you increasing your fiber intake when you reach for the greens, which will leave you feeling full and satisfied, but you're also increasing your liquid intake, as many vegetables have a high water content. High amounts of vitamins and minerals in many vegetables will help you maintain recommended amounts of nutrition.

Often preparing vegetables is a daunting task and because it is the first step in cooking healthy fare, it might defer you from sticking to your resolution this year. Native Spring's spiral vegetable slicer was designed to make eating vegetables more fun and appealing, not to mention easier to eat and prepare. The spiral vegetable slicer changes firm vegetables like squash, carrots, potatoes and even beets, into fun and unique spiral slices.

All you have to do is place the vegetable of your choice into the end of the slicer and twist, to change boring vegetables into bright, nutrient and fiber rich snacks in interesting spiral shapes. This slicer can tackle firm fruits too – create fun apple spirals with just a twist of you wrist.

Toss the julienne vegetable strips into a salad, a stir-fry or create a fun plate of hors d'oeuvres for a healthy, post-holiday get-together. The spiralizer creates vegetable strips in two sizes – 2 millimeters by 3 millimeters or 3 ½ millimeters by 5 millimeters.

"Choosing vegetables instead of foods with simple sugars is one way to jumpstart a person's weight loss, but many people avoid vegetables because they believe that vegetables are boring or don't taste very good," said Heather Brinkly, Publicity Director for Native Spring. "Our spiral vegetable slicer takes hard vegetables that are difficult to prepare and with just a few twists, those vegetable become fun spirals of bright colors."
