Highlighted by its content of alpha and beta carotenes, known as precursors of vitamin A, pumpkin supports the strengthening of the immune system against diseases due to its antioxidant properties. Its zeaxanthin carotenoids play a significant role in preserving eye health. High in vitamin C, pumpkin also stimulates white blood cells responsible for the body’s defense mechanisms, thus aiding in overall health maintenance.

One serving, approximately 100 grams of pumpkin, meets about 35% of an adult’s daily vitamin C needs. Rich in fiber, pumpkin regulates bowel movements, helping to alleviate issues like constipation and bloating. Its high fiber content also plays a crucial role in reducing cholesterol levels and maintaining heart health. Its antioxidant components contribute to preventing cancer cell formation and inhibiting their proliferation. Due to its high fiber content, it promotes prolonged satiety by delaying gastric emptying, thereby stabilizing blood sugar levels.

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]
