Detoxifying_benefits_cauliflowerWelcome spring this year with a healthier mind and body by treating yourself to the detoxifying properties of cauliflower. This treasure of nature helps detoxify the body and allows you feel healthier – and not just physically, but mentally too!

If you need more proof as to how great cauliflower is for you, I will outline for you a few properties (of many), which characterize this amazing vegetable.

Detoxifying Properties of Cauliflower

Anti-Cancer

Cauliflower eliminates toxins from our body, and at the same time overcomes the damage created by various carcinogens. These vegetables contain substances that protect our stomach and lungs from harmful cancer causing agents, and therefore, it always pays off to include a bit of this beautiful vegetable in our diet.

Rich In Fibre

A healthy digestive system is an integral part of detoxification. Cauliflower is rich in fibre, which is a natural way to clean out our body. If toxins get stuck in the digestive tract, and there is no fibre to push it out, then they will get re-absorbed into the blood stream. With a fibre-heavy diet, you will push out those toxins instead of having them absorb back into your body.

Anti-Inflammatory

Detoxification can help overcome the chronic inflammation caused by stress, lack of sleep, or even a strict diet. Nutrients found in cauliflower, including indole-3-carbinol, have been noted for their anti-inflammatory properties. The omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K found in cauliflower can also help manage the chronic inflammation that contributes to diseases like arthritis.

Promotes Heart Health

Those same anti-inflammatory properties can also aid in preventing against the inflammation that can exacerbate the decreased diameter of blood vessels. These conditions, in combination with other factors, can lead to heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure.

Strengthens Detoxifying Properties of Spices

Studies show that turmeric spices induce apoptosis of cancer cells, helping to effectively eliminate them. The effects of turmeric are strengthened when combined with cauliflower, so give it a try! It makes a wonderful combination.

Excellent Meat Substitute 

When it comes to detoxification, it is advisable to give up not only synthetic sweeteners, trans fats, processed food, but also fatty red meat. Though, it can be replaced by other food products. For example, our beloved cauliflower dishes are high in protein, iron, calcium and immune-boosting antioxidants – much more than you’d get from red meat.

The Power of Antioxidants

Antioxidants combat free radicals that damage cells, protects us from the risk of cancer and various diseases. This amazing cruciferous veggie contains vitamin C, K, B6, fibre (as mentioned), and omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for any normal functioning body.

After reading all of these amazing properties of cauliflower, you’re probably wanting to head to the kitchen and cook something delicious. Head on over to Kohl’s online store and save some money by using Kohl’s coupons to purchase any appliances you may need to create delicious, healthy meals. Renew your kitchen without opening your wallet that much. Enjoy!
