This sample of 10 vegetables is just the tip of the iceberg of nature’s almost unlimited portfolio of highly potent phytonutrients for our health. Easy to follow, and economic. Above all - scientifically validated. Just read on to learn more about. 

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Healthy/balanced diet, besides physical exercise, is one of the corner pillars of our natural health. Phytonutrients being the center part. With special reference to herbs, fruit and vegetables.

SCIENTIFIC VALIDATION

In following you may learn about and excerpt of nature’s portfolio of most powerful vegetables your body may not want to miss or be deficient for your health.
 

Based on scientific research and validation at, inter alia,  
      *   University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.
  • University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital, also in Toronto, Canada,
  • Yonsei University in Seoul, and Hannam University in Daejeon – both South Korea
  • Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, UK,
  • U.S. National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD.
  • Dana-Faber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA
  • Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA
  • U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, both in Bethesda, MD.
  • University of California in San Francisco
  • Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia
  • Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden
  • Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology in Punjab, India.
 
Let’s start with

Spinach

Spinach as a green-leafy vegetable is a great source of essential vitamins and minerals. With special reference to, inter alia,
  • Vitamins A, B/Folate, and C being essential for many different biologic functions
  • Vitamin K for strong bones and body’s better absorption of calcium in your body, etc.
  • Magnesium inter alia for well functioning of nerves and muscles
  • Iron for strong energy and healthy blood 

Not to overlook the so-called cruciferous vegetables – the so called ‘cabbage family – with cabbage, cauliflower, kale and broccoli.

With special reference to their inherent most powerful compound called indole-3-carbinol (I3C) as a most potent cancer fighter. Based on its inherent substance sulforaphane.  
 

Cauliflower

is not only rich in vitamins C & K but its high fiber content supports heart and gut health, scaling down obesity and digestive problems.
 
With its compound I3C fighting cancer specifically of the breast and the reproductive system.  

Kale

e.g., is a powerful source of vitamins A/C/K especially to increase ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol by almost 30% and decrease ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol by 10%. And also to reduce blood pressure and blood sugar (diabetes).
 
And the substance indole-3-carbinol (I3C) to be found in cruciferous vegetables also is a cancer fighter. Just like the natural substance sulforaphane which is also found in

Broccoli

as a member of the ‘cabbage family’ as well, with special reference to fighting breast cancer with its inherent compound indole-3-carbinol (I3C).

Carrots

with their high vitamin A content in form of beta-carotene, are not only beneficial for eyesight and to avoid even vision loss.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, UK, carrot juice may even inhibit and kill leukemia cells, especially when eaten raw.
 
Also allium vegetables may fight successfully against cancer with their sulfur compound, like

Onions

With special reference to stomach/prostate/esophageal cancer, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD.

Same is with other sulfur containing allium vegetables like

Garlic

as a natural antibiotic with its natural compound diallyl sulfide.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, of the U.S. National Cancer Institute as well, and the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, both in Bethesda, MD.

Beets

are a specifically heart-healthy veggy because of its high content of nitrates lowering blood pressure.
 
Also being potent for fighting diabetes-related nerve problems (neuropathy).
 
According to research at, inter alia, Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia.  
 
In this context, we should also mention

Tomatoes

for cancer prevention with its inherent compounds lycopene and beta-carotene, with special reference to prostate cancer.
 
Not only this, the inherent substances on lutein and zeaxanthin in tomatoes may even avoid vision loss and macular degeneration.
 
According to research at, inter alia, the University of California in San Francisco, Dana-Faber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA, and Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.  

Alfa Sprouts

with its natural compounds of, inter alia, flavonoids, phytoestrogens and saponins have been identified by research to reduce inflammation, kidney problems and arthritis, etc.
 
According to, inter alia, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology in Punjab, India.    
 

IN A NUTSHELL

This sample of 10 vegetables may just round up nature’s almost unlimited portfolio of highly potent phytonutrients for our health. Easy to follow, and economic. Above all - scientifically validated.
