The verity of different foods available to us helps our bodies to grow, to heal, and to keep the immune system working properly. More than that, they stop our bodies from falling apart: the absence of many different nutrients can lead to various physical ailments. It’s really important to eat healthily, so let’s look at the five most common fruits and vegetables that help us towards our goal of being healthy. Broccoli: Green vegetables are widely considered among the healthiest foods we can eat, and broccoli is definitely one of the most nutrient-rich green vegetables. It’s a great source of vitamins C and K, as well as folate, vitamin B and fiber. In addition, it contains potassium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, protein and calcium. Broccoli can assist in lowering cholesterol levels which improves cardiovascular health. It supports the body’s detoxification system, aids vitamin D uptake and may also reduce our susceptibility to certain allergies. Four servings a week can keep cancer away. Blueberries: Blueberries have a low glycemic index (GI) which means they have a low impact on our blood sugar levels, so you won’t get that sugar high from eating blueberries. Eating foods with a low glycemic index is also believed to reduce the risk of developing type-II diabetes as well as coronary heart disease. Blueberries are also a very rich source of antioxidants, which are thought to help reduce the risk of developing cancer. They are a good source of vitamin K, manganese and vitamin C too, placing them high on the nutrient-density scale. Spinach: Spinach is one of the best green vegetables for your health. It contains a huge quantity of nutrients, and offers several specific health benefits. Among the most concentrated nutrients are magnesium, folate, iron, potassium, calcium, vitamin E, protein and zinc. Spinach may help reduce the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. It’s also an anti-inflammatory, meaning it may help reduce our susceptibility to allergies. The vitamin K, magnesium and calcium content of spinach is good for maintaining healthy bones and there are also antioxidants in spinach that help remove harmful free radicals from the body. Peas: Green peas are another fantastic source of nutrients. They contain a huge range of nutrients in high quantities, including manganese, fiber, vitamin K and C, phosphorus, protein, copper, iron and zinc. Peas can help to regulate blood sugar levels thanks to their fiber and protein content. Fiber and protein slow down the pace of digestion, which also means that carbohydrates are digested more slowly too. Peas are also known to reduce the chance of developing cardiovascular disease and to help protect against stomach cancer. Apples: Apples are a fantastic source of fiber which helps promote a healthy digestive system. This also aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels. They are also a great source of vitamin C. Although apples aren’t as nutrient-rich as some other fruits and vegetables, they are thought to have both anti-cancer and anti-asthma properties. In addition, they’re good for cardiovascular health.

Što se jede u veljači? Treba jesti sezonsko povrće zbog toga što je puno vitamina i rijetkih minerala koje je teško dobiti u drugoj hrani u prirodnom obliku Osnova zdrave prehrane su sezonski svježi plodovi koji rastu u prirodnim uvjetima u određenom dobu godine, jer se u tom slučaju konzumiraju upravo u trenutku kad su najzdraviji. Veljača, ma kako sumanuta bila vremenski, ipak ima neke plodove koji su upravo tijekom tog mjeseca najbolji za konzumaciju, pa evo malo inspiracije ako idete na tržnicu kupiti štogod svježe. U veljači stižu prve šparoge, sjajan izvor selenija, cinka, magnezija i cinka, bogate dijetnim vlaknima, vitaminima A, C, E i K, kao i kompleksima vitamina B i D. Uz sve to, šparoge sadrže i mangan i kalij. Načina pripreme ima bezbroj, od priloga, salata, juha pa sve do grickanja između obroka. Rukola raste stvarno posvuda i obilno je napunjena vitaminima A, C i K, kalcijem, vitaminima B kompleksa, fosforom, manganom, kalijem, željezom, kalcijem i folnom kiselinom. Najčešće se koristi kao salata, a pokušajte je, onako svježu, staviti na svježe ispečenu pizzu, nećete požaliti! Brokule također ima napretek, a lakše je izostaviti važne sastojke koje nema nego nabrojati one koje ima. Između ostalog, ima tiamina, riboflavina, selenije, vitamina A, C, E, K i B6, kao i folne kiseline. Priprema se kao složenac, s tjesteninom ili kao juha. Cikla je prebogata magnezijem, željezom i vitaminom C, a u njoj se nalazi i dosta folne kiseline, mangana, kalija, magnezija i željeza. Bilo koje jelo s mlincima nemoguće je zamisliti bez cikle, no može biti i prilog, sok ili juha.
