Health Benefits
1. Corn contains several vitamins and minerals such as manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, zinc and copper. All of these contribute to supporting growth and maintenance of body tissues as well as preventing cardiovascular diseases.
2. Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin K and C, folic acid, potassium and fibre. Vitamin C helps build collagen which is essential for tissue and bone growth as well as the healing of wounds. Vitamin C is also an effective antioxidant and is effective in protecting the body from free radicals which can cause aging and damage cells.
3. Spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, folic acid, potassium and magnesium. It helps with maintaining a healthy immune system, muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism and regulating blood pressure and blood sugar levels. The chlorophyll contained in spinach is also effective at blocking carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines, thus helping to prevent cancer. High vitamin K content helps with bone health while vitamin A contributes to healthy skin and hair.
4. Orange carrots are rich in beta-carotene which is then converted into vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is highly effective in preventing macular degeneration and cataracts, improving eyesight and even providing the pigment necessary for better night vision. Beta-carotene also acts as an antioxidant and reduces cell damage by regulating the body’s metabolism. High amounts of carotenoids are also associated with lower cardiovascular disease rates.
5. Orange sweet potatoes are excellent sources of vitamin A and effective in helping improve digestion, reducing arthritis pain and treating stomach ulcers.
6. Pumpkins are rich in vitamin A, good antioxidants and can boost your immunity.
7. Red capsicums have more than 10x the vitamin A and C content of green capsicums, containing up to 200% of the daily recommended vitamin C intake. They are also good sources of vitamin B6 and folate which can help prevent anaemia.
8. Purple sweet potatoes aren’t only eye-catching when added to food but also contain high amounts of antioxidants, are great at regulating blood pressure and may prevent thrombosis due to its chlorogenic acid content.
9. Red amaranth is a good source of iron, containing up to 29% of the daily recommended intake of iron in 100g of red amaranth leaves. It is also one of the richest sources of vitamin C which is essential for the absorption of iron, wound healing and fighting against viral infections. Red amaranth also contains high amounts of vitamin A, K and B6 as well as potassium, its mineral levels (calcium, manganese, magnesium, copper and zinc) are much higher than even spinach.
10. Beetroot helps with regulating blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of stroke and heart failure. This root vegetable also helps improve physical performance as the nitrates found in beets can boost the efficiency of mitochondria in the cells.
