Proven Benefits

Carrots are a good source of carotenoids, vitamins, dietary fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. With increasing health awareness, carrots have become more popular due to their rich nutrient content and health benefits. Orange carrots, which owe their color to α- and β-carotene pigments, are richer in these compounds compared to other varieties. These carrots are particularly rich in vitamin A, essential for eye health, cell development, and immune system support through protection of the skin, lungs, and intestines. α- and β-carotenes also act as antioxidants, playing a significant role in fighting heart diseases and capturing free radicals in the body.

The phytochemicals in carrots have been found to have preventive effects against various diseases such as eye diseases, heart diseases, and different types of cancers. As a fibrous vegetable, carrots play a protective role against digestive system issues, promoting healthy stomach function and helping to eliminate harmful intestinal parasites. Carrots are also known for their antiseptic properties. Applying grated or boiled carrot to acne or wounds on the skin can reduce infections effectively.

PEAS

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peas, being a nutritious food due to their high fiber content and protein, increase the levels of hormones that reduce appetite in the body. Protein works together with fiber to enhance the feeling of fullness. Consuming the right amount of protein and fiber can help control appetite and reduce calorie intake. Additionally, protein consumption is crucial for improving muscle strength and bone health. Peas contain heart-friendly minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium, and may include plant nutrients like carotenoids and flavonols that protect the heart. Peas also help manage cholesterol levels, especially LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). Consuming peas prevents rapid spikes in blood sugar levels after meals, helping to keep diabetes under control. The low glycemic index (GI) rating of green peas makes them a diabetic-friendly food as they are less likely to raise blood sugar levels. Peas provide vitamins K, A, and C, as well as magnesium and B vitamins.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

BROCCOLI

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]BENEFITS Broccoli is a rich source of vitamin C, which is a potent antioxidant known for its role in fighting cancer. Additionally, broccoli contains abundant amounts of vitamin A, which is equally effective in combating cancer. It also includes two minerals, zinc and selenium, both highly protective against cancer. Selenium, among minerals, is particularly strong in cancer prevention, so much so that selenium supplements were once popular among cancer patients. Broccoli is also a good source of calcium and folate. Folate is essential for the immune system as it is crucial in the production of white blood cells in the bone marrow during their early stages. Deficiency in folate can lead to anemia and weakened immunity. A robust immune system is the primary defense against cancer in our bodies. The dietary fiber in broccoli helps prevent constipation and reduces the long-term risk of colon cancer associated with chronic constipation. It accomplishes this by preventing cancer-causing substances in foods from coming into contact with the intestinal wall. Therefore, it's advisable to consume broccoli regularly as part of meals, especially alongside meat dishes, rather than in isolated detox treatments.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

BLACK-EYED PEAS

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Black-eyed peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, with one cup containing approximately 15 grams of protein. Proteins are essential nutrients for growth and development, wound healing, and maintaining healthy hair and nails. Fresh black-eyed peas are highly effective for vegetarians to meet their protein needs. Fresh black-eyed peas are also high in fiber, with one cup containing about 10 grams of fiber. This high fiber content helps maintain proper digestive function and reduces constipation complaints. Additionally, since high-fiber foods digest more slowly, they provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness and prevent quick hunger, thus aiding in weight control.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Jerusalem artichoke's native habitat is North America, where it used to be a staple food for Native Americans. With the popularity of potatoes, Jerusalem artichoke was forgotten and is now rarely cultivated. Economically, Jerusalem artichoke is not highly valued as a vegetable. According to recent studies, Jerusalem artichoke tubers contain a significant amount of inulin, a substance that, along with fruit sugar (glucose), gives it a sweet and tasty flavor. It is noted that Jerusalem artichoke does not contain starch, thus its calorie value is low. Inulin found in Jerusalem artichoke is a crucial substance, especially recommended for diabetic patients. Inulin is a type of probiotic that is indigestible and unabsorbable, reaching the intestines without being digested, thus supporting the formation of beneficial bacteria, acting as a probiotic.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
