This product is a powerful protection against cancer and other dangerous diseases

Eating vegetables in large quantities can help you reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer. So, in 2010, one study showed that just one extra serving of leafy greens a day reduced the risk of developing diabetes of the 2nd type at 14 percent.





Fresh vegetables are the fundamental nutritional element, because they are mainly very low in calories and net carbs, but a lot of useful fiber, vitamins and minerals. Vegetables also contain large variety of antioxidants and other compounds that fight disease.

Phytochemicals in plants have powerful anti-inflammatory action, and some even help excrete carcinogens. Other plant chemicals regulate the speed at which cells reproduce, and support remove the old DNA.

In addition, due to the high content of fiber, leafy greens activates a gene called T-bet, which is necessary for the formation of vital immune cells in the mucosa of the digestive tract.

These immune cells, called innate lymphoid cells (VLK), that help maintain the balance between immunity and inflammation in the body and to produce interleukin-22 (IL-22), a hormone that helps protect the body from pathogenic bacteria.

VLK even help to resolve cancerous lesions and prevent the development of colon cancer and other inflammatory diseases.

 

To be healthier, eat more greens

Studies have repeatedly shown that people who consume more vegetables:

 

Reduced risk of high blood pressure and stroke

Reduced risk of certain types of cancer

Reduced risk of formation of kidney stones and bone loss

Better results cognitive tests

Higher levels of antioxidants

Less biomarkers of oxidative stress

Reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease

Reduced risk of eye diseases

Less problems with digestion

However, some types of greenery more useful than others. Kale, for example, is a VIP among vegetables, due largely to a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Because of this extremely high plant-protein curly Kale called "vegetarian beef."

As with meat, crispy Kale contains all nine essential amino acids necessary for the formation of proteins in the human body, plus nine interchangeable, a total of 18 amino acids.





But, unlike meat, the concentration of these amino acids is low. So it is much harder to overeat protein, which, as we know, can activate mTOR and accelerate aging and chronic degenerative diseases. It also contains more omega-3 than omega-6, which is almost never found in nature.

 

Mustard is the new "Queen of greens"?

Recently, the popularity began to gain leaf mustard (and a few popular varieties). Mustard is a relative of cabbage, broccoli and radish.

As curly Kale, braised Collard mustard effectively lowers cholesteroldue to its ability to bind bile acids. Bile acids are composed of cholesterol, so this binding action helps to lower cholesterol levels by increasing excretion.

 

Business card leaf mustard: protection from cancer

Leaf mustard is rich in glucosinolates – plant chemical that in the body into isothiocyanates that possess anti-cancer properties. In fact, studies show that protection from cancer is a basic useful property of the leaf mustard. According to the site "the Most useful products in the world" (The World's Healthiest Foods):

 

"Long known that all cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates, but recent studies have made us realize how valuable this is leaf mustard.

Protection against cancer, it provides, can be largely related to two particular glucosinolates found in this cruciferous vegetable: sinigrin and gluconasturtiin.

Sinigrin is converted into allyl-isothiocyanate (AITTS) and gluconasturtiin – phenethyl-isothiocyanate (FAITZ). Anti-inflammatory properties and ability to prevent the development of cancer as AITTS and FEITZ well-documented".





In addition to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, leaf mustard also helps to protect against cancer by supporting the detoxification systems of the body. A number of nutrients of mustard helps to boost phase 1 detoxification, and sulfur-containing compounds contribute to phase 2 of detoxification.

 

Information about nutritional value

Braised Collard mustard has an impressive nutritional profile. 140 g green – a whopping 922 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin K, 96% of vitamin A and 47% of vitamin C. Mustard also contains a number of valuable antioxidant compounds such as:

  • Hydroxycinnamic acid – it is proven that it inhibits cell adenocarcinoma, of the lung and is effective against multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It also possesses antimalarial properties and many other

  • Quercetin is an important fighter of free radicals

  • Izoramnetin – induces apoptosis (cell death) of certain cancer cells. It also has certain advantages in inflammatory skin diseases

  • Kaempferol has hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and many other properties.

Ideally, you should add 1.5 cups of leaf mustard in food at least two to three times a week. Even better 2 cups four to five times a week, although you can mix it with other cruciferous vegetables.





Mustard seeds also have medicinal properties

In leaf mustard, you can use all parts, includingroots, seeds and leaves. Seeds, in particular, it has long been used in Chinese medicine.

Abscesses, bronchitis, asthma, colds, rheumatism, tooth decay, pain, bladder inflammation, ulcers and various gastrointestinal diseases – in all these cases has long been applied mustard seed, often local, in the form of mustard plasters or poultices.

Also, mustard has long been added to the water bath to ease the inflammation, because mustard increases blood flow.

Mustard seeds, which are usually prepared condiment, known to you as "mustard" — are a good source of phosphorus, iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium and manganese.

Fermentation increases nutritional value

Inflammation from bacterial endotoxins may be a factor contributing to the obesity epidemic. Sugar and processed foods quickly turn "friendly" microbial community in the gut of unfriendly and even hostile.

When dysbiosis, bacteria release harmful by-products – endotoxins. They increase the permeability of the gut wall (leaky gut syndrome) and are released into the bloodstream, causing system-wide inflammation.

To combat this chain of events or to prevent it, avoid sugary foods and regularly populate the intestine with beneficial bacteria, and this best suited the consumption of fermented vegetables. In addition, they help to break down and excrete heavy metals and other toxins from the body, beneficial gut bacteria perform a number of other important functions, including:

  • The assimilation of minerals and incorporation of nutrientssuch as b vitamins and vitamin K2 (vitamin K2 and vitamin D are needed to enable calcium to bones and prevent it from falling into the arteries, which reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke)

  • Prevention of obesity and diabetes, as well as the regulation of the absorption of consumed fat

  • Reducing the risk of developing cancer

  • Improved mood and mental health

Like most other vegetables, leaf mustard can easily fermenting or pickling at home.

Leaf mustard, and sprouted mustard seeds can be eaten in different ways. Just tear them with your hands and add to salad or serve steamed as a side dish, for example.

Sprouts can be added to smoothies.published
