Last week, we featured the challenges ladies face when they put up extra pounds of flesh. In that piece we were made to know that while some ladies go roburst due to the uniqueness of their active gene, others are turned victims due to their uncontrolled appetite for fatty foods.
However, it is a well-established fact that eating veggies is a healthy way to lose or maintain weight. Vegetables are called ‘negative calorie foods’ because they actually help in weight loss by making you spend more energy to digest the food than add to your overall caloric intake.
Eating fruits and vegetables, experts say, promotes emotional well-being among young adults. They are known to naturally relieve stress and depression and boost the mood. Research suggests that good mood may lead to a greater preference for healthy foods.
According to recent research, diet comprising of food rich in unsaturated fats found in olive oil and nuts and nitrite and nitrate found in leafy green vegetables may help protect you from high blood pressure.
However, if you are on a strict diet, then consider the vegetables with minimal calories and high nutritional value. These included carrots, radishes, celery, cucumbers, fresh green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Nowadays, many salons opt for vegetable facials and have started using a vegetable toner by mixing chopped cucumber flesh, lettuce leaves, lemon juice and chopped tomato into the facial material and it is quite easy to gain a brighter complexion. Many salons also use vegetable peels to ensure blemish-free and bright skin.
You would be surprised to know that a healthy diet with many vegetables gives your hair a greater health boost than the most expensive shampoos in the market.
Vegetables are undoubtedly the power houses of nutrition since they are packed with the vitamins and minerals that hairs need the most to ensure strong, healthy, and lustrous hair.
As discussed before, if you categorize vegetables in terms of color and include at least one serving of each in your diet, you will get ample benefits for your hair.
The dark green vegetables which are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron, are essential for the production of sebum, an oily substance that is secreted from the scalp and acts as a natural hair conditioner. They also help prevent hair loss by ensuring optimal levels of iron and calcium in the body.
Red vegetables have plenty of lycopene. It is found in many hair products as well. Red peppers have plentiful amounts of lycopene and the shiny outer skins have a high percentage of silica, a mineral required to maintain hair’s thickness.
The orange vegetables (especially carrots) have beta-carotene, which is the antioxidant necessary for healthy hair growth. They’re rich in vitamin C as well, which protects hairs from free radicals. The orange veggies shield hairs from the harmful effects of the sun and lock in the moisture.
The yellow vegetables have similar nutritional value as those of orange ones.
The white vegetables like onions are powerful antioxidants that shield your hairs from root to tip. Moreover, they are rich in vitamin C, often considered the “anti-aging vitamin”.
In ancient times, Onion juice was recommended to be applied topically since it helps in stimulating hair growth. Further studies are being done at different universities around the world regarding onion juice to see if this ancient claim is really true.
Combination of vegetables works wonders on the skin. It not only delays the signs of aging, it also keeps the skin bright, fresh and prevents dryness and other skin disorders.
