Artgerechte Food Facts
Carrots, as root vegetables, store their carbohydrate content directly in active cell structures, which remain intact during cooking and are only slowly released during digestion, which in turn has a positive effect on the balance in our intestinal flora. They also contain a lot of fiber, which serves as food for our beneficial intestinal inhabitants.
Onions are good sources of potassium, vitamin B and vitamin C – but they are particularly healthy because of their many antioxidants.
Ginger is rich in secondary plant substances that actively support our immune system. It has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolism-regulating and anti-diabetic effect. It is particularly good for treating digestive problems, pain and colds. In addition, its intense flavor makes you feel full sooner.
Chilis contain capsaicin, which has very positive properties on blood sugar levels, blood clotting and the defense against free radicals.
Oranges have an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, strengthen the immune system, prevent high blood pressure and strengthen bones and teeth.
Olivesöl are a natural source of fat and therefore an important source and store of energy. In addition, high-quality olive oil has a very high content of polyphenols, which have a health-promoting, anti-inflammatory and protective 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.
Coconut milk is a very good and species-appropriate source of energy.
