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.
Oranges have an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, strengthen the immune system, prevent high blood pressure and strengthen bones and teeth.
Lemons have a high content of vitamins, especially vitamin C, trace elements and secondary plant substances. They also activate liver enzymes that can help us detoxify.
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.
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.
