BENEFITS | |
---|---|
Boosts Bone Health |
- Arugula’s combinative effects of low oxalate levels (allowing more minerals into the system) and the presence of so many minerals in the plant itself make it a strong support system for healthy bones. Sufferers of osteoporosis can see improvements, and arugula can be used as a preventative step as well. |
Boosts Immune System |
- Vitamin C is one of the best defenses for your body to seek out dangerous, inflammatory free radicals and eliminate them from your body before they can cause real damage. This well-known vitamin is found in large quantities in arugula and helps prevent cancer and maintain good health by giving an extra push to your immune system. |
Prevents Cancer | - Arugula, like many other vegetables in the cruciferous family, contains glucosinolates, which are key phytonutrients believed to a type of natural cancer remedy. When you chew arugula, these compounds mix with a digestive enzyme called myrosinase that turns them into other cancer-fighting nutrients known as isothiocyanates. |
Pre-Natal Care | - For mothers who are expecting, arugula is a wonderful choice to add to their diet. Folates, a classification which includes folic acid, have been shown to decrease occurrences of certain mental defects in newborns. |
Improves Eyesight | - It can help protect eyes from age-related disorders because it’s a great source of protective carotenoid antioxidants. These special compounds have been extensively researched in relation to their ability to prevent macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults. |
Weight Loss | - Arugula is an extremely nutrient-dense food, considering it has only five calories per cup but loads of antioxidants. Because people tend to eat more than one cup of leafy greens at a time, arugula is essentially a superfood for weight loss and a great way to obtain plenty of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients while still sticking to a low-calorie diet overall. |
Increases Metabolism | - Another benefit of arugula is the presence of B-Complex vitamins that promote metabolism. Eight B vitamins participate and aid in all different cell activities, including energy production, fat synthesis, the production of red blood cells, and many other vital processes for cell and metabolic health. |
