Health benefits of leafy greens
Leafy greens are filled with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients meaning that they are some of the most nutrient-dense foods out there. They contain high levels of fiber, iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium, all while having very low levels of carbohydrates, sodium and cholesterol.
Health benefits of cucumber:
All that water in cucumbers can help keep you hydrated. Plus, the fiber boost they give you helps you stay regular and avoid constipation. The vitamin K helps blood clot and keep your bones healthy. Vitamin A has many jobs, like helping with vision, the immune system, and reproduction.
Health benefits of apple
Phytochemicals and fiber in apples have antioxidant effects that may protect a cell’s DNA from oxidative damage, which is a precursor to cancer. Animal and cell studies have found that these chemicals can prevent new cancer cells from growing and the spread of existing cancer cells.
Health Benefits of Oranges
The vitamin C in oranges helps your body in lots of ways:
Protects your cells from damage
Helps your body make collagen, a protein that heals wounds and gives you smoother skin
Makes it easier to absorb iron to fight anemia
Boosts your immune system, your body’s defense against germs
Slows the advance of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss
Helps fight cancer-causing free radicals.
Health benefits of banana
Bananas are high in potassium, a mineral that promotes heart health and normal blood pressure. One medium-sized banana contains around 0.4 grams of this mineral. According to a large analysis of many studies, daily consumption of 1.3โ1.4 grams of potassium is linked to a 26% lower risk of heart disease
Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which can improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels and promote intestinal health. Fiber takes longer to digest and makes you feel satisfied longer, which is how it can help with weight loss and decrease your risk of developing diabetes or heart disease.
Flaxseed is commonly used to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
