NUTRITIONAL AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF PRODUCE
- There are several reasons that the consumption of fruits and Vegetables is very important! Every year there is new evidence that comes out about the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables so naming all the reasons could take all day! but we have listed a few of the most important ones below:
BLOOD PRESSURE
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) study examined the effect on blood pressure of a diet that was rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and that restricted the amount of saturated and total fat. The researchers found that people with high blood pressure who followed this diet reduced their systolic blood pressure (the upper number of a blood pressure reading) by about 11 mm Hg and their diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) by almost 6 mm Hg—as much as medications can achieve.
Easy ways to make plant-based proteins
Vital ingredients to meatless products like plant-based soups, produce crops are increasingly positioned to play a growing role in the world’s food systems, the biological value of dietary proteins can be increased considerably by combining different protein-containing foods as the amino acids
They’re delicious, nutritious and easy on the budget.
Fruits are affordable to buy and because they add bulk to your meal you can eat healthy, fruits are a slow release carbohydrate so they help you feel full longer and also add fiber to your diet.
Preventing diseases with produce!
Fruits and Vegetables have received attention for their superior nutritional composition as high-fiber, low–glycemic index foods and have been studied for their potential to reduce reduce blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. This effect is due mainly to the high content of potassium, magnesium, and fiber.
GLUTEN FREE & ALLERGEN FRIENDLY
Cutting out gluten from your diet may seem a difficult task, fortunately, there are many healthy and delicious foods that are naturally gluten-free and allergen friendly like cauliflowers, broccoli, onions and many more... the benefits of a Gluten free diet are improved health, weight loss and increased energy.
Fruits and Veggies enrich soils
They can store 30% more carbon than other plant species in the soil via root nodules. This naturally produced fertilizer results in higher yields for pulses and other crops and implies a lesser need for polluting organic and synthetic chemical fertilizers, reducing direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and preventing further contamination of soils and waterways.
Consume them fresh !
Research has shown that consuming these nutrients as food, within fruits and vegetables, is more beneficial for health than consuming them as supplements. Many of these are antioxidants, and may reduce the risk of many diseases: vitamin A (beta-carotene), magnesium, zinc, Folic acid may reduce blood levels of homocysteine, a substance that may be a risk factor for coronary heart disease.
Eat green, eat healthy!
Green leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, and mustard greens, were most strongly associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and kale; and citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes (and their juices) also made important contributions.
