[trendy fruits]The American Cancer Society recommends adding the green, green vegetables, fruits and seeds to your daily diet for the best possible health.
Benefits when eating fruit
Purple fruits and vegetables contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help the body fight off harmful, unstable molecules called free radicals. They must be soon disabled because they can cause cell-level damage that leads to disease and premature aging. Antioxidants from purple food help neutralize these molecules and keep the body healthy.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, purple anthocyanins in fruits and vegetables have the ability to interact with free radicals to prevent damage to important molecules, protect healthy cells, heal the body, reduce inflammation, reduces the risk of certain cancers, protects the skin from damage from sunlight and prevents cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
Some foods are naturally purple: purple grapes, plums, blueberries, cherries, chokeberries, purple cabbage, purple asparagus, sweet potatoes, olives, eggplants, purple radishes, rice, purple corn, etc.
Purple vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage, and kale contain nutrients derived from sulfur compounds. This substance helps slow the growth of some cancer cells such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, and endometrial cancer.
Purple vegetables have been shown to have more health benefits than other vegetables. For example, purple cabbage has 36 different types of antioxidants and 6-8 times more vitamin C than green cabbage. Purple carrots contain twice as much alpha and beta-carotene as orange carrots, helping the body to increase immunity and good for eye health.
Anthocyanin is thought to be a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
In addition to anthocyanins and indoles, purple foods also contain ellagic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C, potassium, fiber and phenols that can prevent some dangerous diseases
Fight ulcer disease
Research shows that anthocyanin antioxidants work to reduce the formation of stomach ulcers. Moreover, anthocyanins prevent oxidation and enhance the activity of other important antioxidants, such as glutathione - which help boost the immune system, prevent aging and flush toxins from the body.
Prevent urological diseases
The anthocyanins in cauliflower, purple carrots, purple cabbage, and purple vegetables can also prevent the ulcers and inflammation caused by H. pylori. This type of bacteria causes stomach ulcers and urological diseases (bladder lymphoma).
Good for cardiovascular
Purple foods are good for heart health because they have the ability to lower LDL (harmful) cholesterol by 13% and raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels. The surge in harmful LDL cholesterol will lead to the formation of plaque on the walls of the arteries, blocking the ability of blood to flow to the heart and the whole body, causing heart attacks and strokes.
Destroy cancer cells
Purple grapes and blueberries contain resveratrol, a flavonoid that helps lower blood pressure. Many studies also show that resveratrol has the ability to kill blood cancer cells, breast cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, and lung cancer. Purple sweet potatoes have also been shown to have strong anti-colon cancer. In addition, resveratrol also works to help the artery walls relax, allowing better blood circulation, reducing pressure in the arteries.
Anti-inflammatory
Anthocyanins are amazing antioxidants that can reduce chronic inflammation, helping the body prevent many diseases such as Alzheimer's, heart disease, asthma, allergies, arthritis, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Good for the brain
The anthocyanins found in purple sweet potatoes are not only resistant to colon cancer, but also help prevent age-related memory decline, promote learning and learning.
Note: steaming or baking is the best way to prepare purple vegetables and fruits to maximize the absorption of nutrients.
