USEFULNESS OF VEGETABLES

Why should we get diet
rich vegetable nutrition?
What are the health
benefits of vegetables?
Well!
Vegetables, like fruits,
are low in fat but
contain good amounts
of vitamins and
minerals. All the Green-
Yellow-Orange
vegetables are rich
sources of calcium,
magnesium, potassium,
iron, beta-carotene,
vitamin B-complex,
vitamin-C, vitamin A,
and vitamin K.
As in fruits, vegetables
are also home for many
antioxidants that;
firstly, help body
protect from oxidant
stress, diseases and
cancers, and secondly,
help body develop
capacity to fight
against these by
boosting immunity.
In addition, vegetables
contain soluble as well
as insoluble dietary fiber
known as non-starch
polysaccharides (NSP)
like cellulose, gums,
mucilage, pectin...etc,
that absorb excess
water in the colon and
retain good amount of
moisture in the fecal
matter, thereby helps
its easy passage out of
the body. Thus helpful
in conditions like
hemorrhoids, chronic
constipation, rectal
fissures...etc.
...Go for greens to help
you stay fit and
healthy!
Vegetable nutrition has
widely drawn the
attention of fitness
conscious as well as
food scientists alike for
their proven health
benefits. Many
vegetables are very low
in calories, such as
celery which is even as
less than 10 cal per 100
g and here is the long
list of vegetables
whose calorie is
less than 20 per 100 g:
bottle gourd, bitter
melon, cabbage, chinese
cabbage, bok choy,
eggplant, endive,
spinach, summer
squash, swiss chard,
etc. Scientific studies
have shown that low
calorie but nutrient rich
foods help body stay fit
and disease free.
And, also our body
spends considerable
amount of energy
during digestion of
foods which is known
as BMR or Basal
metabolism rate. So
just imagine…when you
add more of vegetable
nutrition in the diet, in
fact, you set to lose
more weight than you
would gain…Right!..This
is the concept behind
the "negative calorie
foods". Love this info; click Share!

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE FRUITS DAILY

Fruits are nature’s
wonderful medicines
packed with vitamins,
minerals, anti-oxidants
and many phyto-
nutrients (Plant derived
micronutrients). They
are absolute feast to
our sight, not just
because of their color
and flavor but help body
keep fit and healthy!
1. Fruits are low in calories
and fat and are a
source of simple
sugars, fiber, and
vitamins, which are
essential for optimizing
our health.
2. Fruits provide plenty of
soluble dietary fiber,
which helps to ward of
cholesterol and fats
from the body and to
get relief from
constipation as well.
3. Fruits contain many
anti-oxidants like
poly-phenolic
flavonoids, vitamin-C,
anthocyanins . These
compounds, firstly, help
body protect from
oxidant stress,
diseases, and cancers,
and secondly , help body
develop capacity to
fight against these
ailments by boosting
our immunity level.
Many fruits, when
compared to vegetables
and cereals, have very
high anti-oxidant values
which is something
measured by their
"Oxygen Radical
Absorbent Capacity"
or ORAC.
4. Anthocyanins are
flavonoid category of
poly-phenolic
compounds found in
some "blue fruits" like
blue-black grapes,
mulberries, acai berry,
chokeberries,
blueberries,
blackberries, and in
many vegetables
featuring blue or deep
purple color. Eating
fruits rich in blue
pigments offers many
health benefits. These
compounds have potent
anti-oxidant properties,
remove free radicals
from the body, and
thus offer protection
against cancers, aging,
infections etc. These
pigments tend to
concentrate just
underneath the skin.
5. Fruit’s health benefiting
properties are because
of their richness in
vitamins, minerals,
micro-nutrients, anti-
oxidants which helps
body prevent or at least
prolong the natural
changes of aging by
protecting and
rejuvenating cells,
tissues and organs in
the human body. The
overall benefits are
manifold! Fruit nutrition
benefits are infinite!
You are protecting
yourself from minor
problems like wrinkling
of skin, hair fall,
memory loss to major
ailments like age related
macular degeneration of
retina in the eyes,
Alzheimer’s disease,
colon cancers, weak
bones (osteoporosis)…
and the list of fruit
nutrition benefits never
ends! Share this info!
