Weight Loss, BMI Reduction, and Digestion
Apples support weight loss and significantly reduce BMI. Eating a whole apple (104 calories) will give you a fuller feeling than any other snack in your pantry or fridge, except for maybe pears. Apples cause a reduction in gastric emptying, how fast our stomachs are emptied, which also improves digestion, making apples especially useful against constipation, as well as reducing the chance of contracting gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Mental Health and the Brain
Numerous studies have linked poorer mental health to a lack of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Improving your mental health begins with consuming at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. Apples are packed with the phytochemical, quercetin, which has neuroprotective qualities that reduce neuroinflammation. This leads to improved brain health and cognitive function.
Prevention of Cancer, Diabetes, Asthma, and Other Chronic Diseases
Eating apples is an effective preventative measure against chronic diseases. Apples contain the phytochemicals, catechin, chlorogenic acid, phlorizin, and quercetin that attack free radicals in the body. Free radicals are toxic, independent molecules that cause chronic diseases. The phytochemicals in apples reduce their culmination and their harm, and they also stop cancerous cells from multiplying.
Improve Brain Function and Delay Mental Aging
Blueberries contain antioxidants that have a stronger effect on intelligence and brain function than any other fruit, except strawberries which see a similar delay in mental aging of 2.5 years over 6 years of regular consumption. Improvements in brain function can be seen in as little as 12 weeks.
DNA Damage and Cancer Prevention
DNA in the cells of our body are damaged due to oxidation every day. The antioxidants in blueberries can fight free radicals in the body that damage DNA and cause chronic diseases such as cancer. DNA damage naturally occurs as the body ages, but the antioxidants in blueberries protects against oxidative damage in our cells, which has been shown to slow aging.
Regulating Diabetes
Anthocyanins in blueberries improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, whether the blueberries are fresh or frozen. Bolstering your insulin sensitivity is linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. A blueberry-supplemented diet also plays a role in pancreatic beta-cell regeneration.
Iron Absorption
Lemons improve iron absorption from plant-based foods. Fruits, vegetables, and juices rich in vitamin C and citric acid improve the gut's ability to absorb iron (non-heme iron) from plant sources. This is especially effective against anaemia or an iron deficiency in your dietary preferences. Lemons are an ideal fruit for vegans and vegetarians to include in their diet.
Kidney Stone Prevention
Citric acid from lemons increases the pH levels in urine and increases its volume, making it difficult for kidney stones to form in the body. For people who already have kidney stones, 125ml of lemon juice a day may prevent kidney stones from reforming.
Metabolism Boost and Diabetes Regulation
Passion fruits contain a chemical compound called piceatannol which has powerful effects on metabolic health. It boosts the metabolism and increases insulin sensitivity, which makes passion fruit a crucial food to consume to regulate diabetes. The effects on metabolic health can be seen after 8 weeks of regular consumption of piceatannol and the fruits that contain it.
Nutrient Rich
Passion fruits are packed with key nutrients including calcium, fibre, iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B-6, and vitamin C. All of these nutrients combined serve to improve the body in an abundance of ways: disease resistance, reduction of inflammation and allergy symptoms, clearer skin, better vision, gut health, and many more.
Allergy Symptoms Reduction
Peaches reduce allergy symptoms by blocking histamines from entering the blood. Histamines are released into the blood as a defence mechanism against irritants, causing us to sneeze, cough, itch, and experience other allergy symptoms. As well as blocking histamines, peach consumption is an effective measure against the same types of inflammation seen in allergic reactions.
Nicotine Removal
The consumption of peaches increases the removal of nicotine through your urine, especially the consumption of white-fleshed peaches.
Weight Loss
Studies conducted from human and animal testing found that hibiscus extract has the potential to protect against obesity and assist in weight loss. Up to 12 weeks of hibiscus extract consumption could potentially yield noticeable weight loss, fat loss, and a smaller waist-to-hip ratio. Hibiscus does this by preventing the build-up of fat cells and reducing appetite.
Reduction of Infectious Bacteria
Test-tube studies have found that hibiscus extract inhibits E. coli activity and can fight off up to eight different strains of bacteria, which means hibiscus has an effectiveness comparable to bacterial infection medication. E. coli is a strain of bacteria that causes diarrhoea, cramping and pneumonia.
Calming and Soothing
Little scientific studies were done on the effects of lavender tea or as a herbal infusion. However, lavender oils, extracts, and compounds in lavender have a common cause of their effect: its smell. Using lavender as an aromatherapy agent effectively reduces stress and anxiety by stimulating areas of the brain that regulate mood. This is followed by a calming effect that can also help improve sleep. The smell of lavender may also soothe menstrual cramping.
Relief
Mint tea, most notably peppermint tea, can alleviate the sinuses and improve the airflow in the nasal cavity. Due to mint's anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, drinking mint tea while experiencing cold or flu symptoms will temporarily alleviate the symptoms. Mint can also relieve headaches and migraines, with pain-relieving results comparable to lidocaine.
Packed with Vitamins
Agave syrup contains essential vitamins that yield health benefits after daily consumption. Vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, and K are in agave. Higher levels of vitamin K relieve oxidative stress in the brain, which has been linked to a lower risk of depression. Vitamin B6 has many health benefits, such as protecting the body from heart disease and stroke, relieving morning sickness in pregnant women, and helping break down proteins and carbohydrates in your body more efficiently.
Rich in Antioxidants
Agave syrup also contains antioxidants such as terpenoids, glycosides, inulin, and saponins. Saponins yield many health benefits, including cholesterol management, digestion regulation and inhibiting tumour growth.
Diabetes Regulation
Agave is among the lowest sweeteners on the glycaemic index, which makes it an ideal sweetener for diabetics. Low glycaemic index foods are great for managing blood sugar as they break down slowly in the body and keep you going for longer. Furthermore, agave is much sweeter than honey and sugar, so you don't have to use as much of it as other sweeteners.
Disease Resistance
Honey contains amino acids, antioxidants, iron, minerals, vitamins, and zinc. Though most of its makeup is sugar, honey is a natural sweetener with plenty of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it especially effective against flu symptoms such as coughs and a sore throat.
Neuro Booster
Honey is an effective antidepressant that also has anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant properties. Honey contains B vitamins, magnesium, and potassium which enhances brain focus. Honey also improves the body's absorption of calcium, which is important for brain cells to send and receive electrical signals.
Alzheimer's, Cancer and Chronic Disease Prevention
Maple syrup has 24 different kinds of antioxidants that all work to protect the body and its cells from oxidative stress, which prevents infections and chronic diseases. Dark-coloured maple syrup reduces the growth of gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers.
The Healthiest Added Sugar
Raw cane sugar has the least amount of calories per gram, while serving the same prominent function as every other added sugar. Agave, honey, maple syrup and molasses contain antioxidants and essential minerals and vitamins, but their function that outperforms the other health benefits is producing energy. Raw cane sugar is all energy, low in calories, but it has zero nutritional value.
Improves Focus
Black tea contains a healthy blend of L-theanine and caffeine. L-theanine is an amino acid strongly associated with improved focus and cognitive processing.
Relieves Gastrointestinal Disorders
Camomile tea is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal or digestive disorders such as ulcers, upset stomach, and flatulence because it relieves the stomach. Not only does camomile relax the muscles that move food through the intestines, but it also dispels gas, which makes camomile tea the ideal drink to enjoy when your stomach is ailing.
Eliminates Colic
Drinking camomile tea is an effective treatment for colic in infants. One study showed that after a week of ingesting 150ml of camomile tea three times a day, colic was eliminated in over half of the participating infants. A common cause of colic is intestinal distress, which camomile tea can help manage.
Heart Health & Longevity
Studies in Japan have found that 5-7 cups a day may help improve the prognosis for stroke or myocardial infarction survivors, as well as reduce the risk of cancer in old age.
