Microgreens will Give you Great Health Boosts

in #food7 years ago

Hey folks @cryptokraze here with my new Blog about Food and Health awareness in which I will highlight the health benefits associated with Microgreens. We should add variety of foods in our diet because they have bio-active components in them that help in preventing many diseases and provide other health benefits.

Health Benefits of Microgreens

Eating vegetables can reduce the risk of many diseases. Microgreens contains more vitamins and minerals than ripe greens. These provide the following health benefits:

Contain Polyphenols

Polyphenols are important natural chemicals found in many foods that contain potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help prevent the accumulation of harmful free radicals, which are highly reactive compounds that can form in the body and can cause cell damage as well as chronic diseases. Polyphenols are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Most vegetables are rich in polyphenols that promote health. Some studies have also found that the slightly green version of these vegetables is also rich in polyphenols.

High in Nutrients

Microgreens have much more nutritious food than the mature one. This is because they take in all the important vitamins and minerals found in mature plants and try to stuff them into smaller packages. Most vegetables provide a variety of nutrients. For example, Swiss beets are particularly rich in vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C, while microgreens contain manganese and folic acid. The slightly green version of these vegetables has the same variety of nutritional characteristics that can help increase vitamin and mineral intake quickly and easily.

Improve Heart Health

Heart disease is the leading cause of death, accounting for approximately one-sixth of the deaths in the United States. Changing dietary habits is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent coronary heart disease and maintain heart health. Many studies have shown that eating more vegetables is associated with lower risk factors for heart disease and lower risk of heart disease. Some studies have also found that adding micro frogs to your diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.

Control Diabetes

Antioxidants can help reduce the type of stress that prevents sugar from properly entering the cell. In laboratory studies, fenugreek microgreen fluorescent protein appears to increase cellular sugar uptake by
25% to 44%.

Veggies are good for the body, but we avoid them alot and take poisons instead, we prefer coke

Great info on nutrition. Thanks for sharing ;)

Good post @cryptokraze
People just need to understand that plants are to be eaten in the same region they grow
Understand that food comes from light, and in essences is nothing but that
Einstein proved that years ago when he came up with E=Mc2
The season is the key here not just nutrient density
