Artgerechte Food Facts
Auml;pfel have a high proportion of fiber, flavonoids and polyphenols. The fiber can be used as food by the good intestinal bacteria.
Dates are a natural source of sweetness and belong to the drupe family. They are a fast energy supplier for muscles and brain. The amino acid tryptophan it contains stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin, which promotes a good night's sleep. Dates are also rich in vitamins and minerals and have an antioxidant effect. The reddish color comes from beta-carotene (i.e. provitamin A), which can regulate cell growth in the body.Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey works best here – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the better, as the pinostrobin content is then higher.
Vanilla is the fermented and dried fruit capsule of the vanilla orchid. Strictly speaking, vanilla is part of the flower. Edible flowers can be used for cooking, look beautiful and summery and lift the mood. Vanilla can have a positive effect on cortisol sensitivity. It also has a mood-enhancing, aphrodisiac, invigorating, relaxing, muscle-strengthening, metabolic and digestive effect.
Cinnamon has been used as a spice and remedy since the Middle Ages. Nowadays, we think of cinnamon sticks and cinnamon powder primarily as a spice. However, numerous studies confirm that cinnamon - and more importantly the coumarin it contains - supports health in many ways: Cinnamon is rich in antioxidant flavonoids, which strengthen the immune system and protect heart and nerve cells in particular from inflammation. It has an antibacterial effect and helps the immune system to fight pathogenic bacteria. Cinnamon also has a positive effect on blood sugar levels and metabolism. When integrated daily into meals, cinnamon is true food as medicine.
Oranges have an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, strengthen the immune system, prevent high blood pressure and strengthen bones and teeth.
