Artgerechte Food Facts
Combination broccoli & tomato: Broccoli develops health-promoting substances when it is cut, and this process can convert glycorafanin into sulforaphane (mustard oil). Ideally, broccoli should be cut and left to rest for around 40 minutes before being cooked or steamed. The combination of broccoli and tomato is hormone-regulating. Pro-inflammatory (inflammatory) hormones are thus inhibited.
.strong>Celery 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. It also contains a lot of fiber, which serves as food for our beneficial intestinal inhabitants.
Parsnip: Carrots, parsnips and parsley root belong to the root vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and minerals due to their structure.
Tomatoes: The riper the tomato, the healthier it is. Fully ripe tomatoes that have been harvested when ripe are best, not tomatoes that have been harvested unripe and have only ripened. In winter, it can therefore make sense to use ripe tomatoes in jars. Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family. They contain substances that can cause slight irritation of the immune system, depending on the degree of ripeness. The more ripe, the less irritation. This is why eggplants, tomatoes and peppers are among the most species-appropriate foods in terms of quantity.
Garlic is also known as a natural antibiotic. In addition, it has numerous positive effects on our health, which is why it can be used a lot.
Chilis contain capsaicin, which has very positive properties on blood sugar levels, blood clotting and the defense against free radicals.
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.
Thyme is particularly beneficial to health thanks to its essential oils: they have antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant and antispasmodic properties.
Sage has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and memory-enhancing properties. It also alleviates digestive complaints.
Laurel has a positive influence on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Adding bay leaves to hearty dishes is a very good idea. Bay leaf has antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Lemons have a high vitamin content, especially vitamin C, trace elements and secondary plant substances. They also activate liver enzymes that can help us detoxify.
