▶️ Which of these vegetables do you eat on a regular basis? 🤔 ▫️ Sulforaphane, the active phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables, is our most potent naturally occurring inducer of phase II detoxification by conjugating glutathione in the liver as well as upregulating Nrf2, a transcription factor which enhances our ability to buffer oxidative stress via antioxidant response elements (AREs). ▫️ Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates. Glucosinolates come in many different flavours and give rise to various isothiocyanates. Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate, just as indole-3-carbinol (known best for its estrogen detoxification benefits) is another type of isothiocyanate. ▫️ Broccoli sprouts, in particular, are one of the highest concentrated sources of sulforaphane. In fact, 3-day-old sprouts contain 10–100 times higher levels of glucoraphanin than the mature plant (broccoli). However, of all the cruciferous vegetables, brussels sprouts have the highest concentrated source of glucosinolates. ▫️ Sulforaphane is also a potent anti-inflammatory by regulating the transcription factor NF-kB, our master regulator of the inflammatory eicosanoid pathway. ▫️ In addition, sulforaphane contains a high concentration of antioxidants and is a powerful anti-cancer compound by inhibiting blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis) via upregulation of p53 gene expression, and inhibiting cell proliferation/migration. ▫️ Kale, collards, and mustard are all rich in fat-soluble carotenoids called lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the macula and our eyes by serving as antioxidant “pools” to squelch free radicals and absorbs excess damaging blue and UV light. Dark leafy greens are also excellent sources of vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, bioavailable calcium, and non-heme iron. ▫️ Credit: ➡ @dr.vegan ▫️ Follow 👥, Like ♥️, Share 🔄 & Comment 📝 #bokchoy #broccoli #brusselsprouts #cabbage #capetownvegan #cauliflower #cleaneatinglifestyle #crueltyfree #crueltyfreeliving #dailyfoods #foodismedicine #foodofinstagram #fueledbyplants #healthisthewealth #kale #meatfreeathlete #mustardgreens #myhealth #nomeatathlete #shoppinglist #veganathletes https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPGs4-AGTq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yh0roliki5qp

💧Cold or Warm Water❓ ▫️ When does cold water serve you better? ▫️ ◼️ Exercise: Physical activity elevates core body temperature. Moreover, we lose a lot of water and electrolytes in the process which needs to be replenished. Sip cold water to rehydrate the body off lost water and enable it to cool down. ▫️ ◼️ Weight Loss: When you are trying to shed the pounds, drink cold water instead of warm water. It boosts metabolism and helps torch calories to aid weight loss. Cold water is not an obesity cure although it does contribute to your weight loss efforts. ▫️ When should warm/hot water be considered? ▫️ ◼️ Digestion: If you have digestion troubles too often, drinking warm/hot water can be of great benefit. According to Ayurveda, drinking warm water in the morning helps stimulate digestion. ▫️ ◼️ Detox: Drinking warm water is one of the things that can help you get rid of impurities in the body. Health experts recommend drinking warm water with a squeeze of lemon. Lemon water stimulates digestion and flushes toxins. When you drink warm water, you are not only staying hydrated but also receiving its cleansing benefits. ▫️ ◼️ Constipation: One of the foremost reasons behind constipation is dehydration. Drinking warm water when constipated can move things smooth by stimulating blood flow and having a soothing effect in the intestines. ▫️ Be it cold or warm water, you should stay hydrated and listen to your body. Listen to what your body is trying to tell you. When you’re out in the hot weather, you’ll crave for cold water. Likewise, when sick with a cold, you’ll want hot water. ▫️ Health experts speculate that there are certain occasions where warm water is more appropriate than cold, and vice-versa. ▫️ Credit: ➡ @dr.vegan ▫️ Follow 👥, Like ♥️, Share 🔄 & Comment 📝 #cleaneatinglifestyle #coldwater #fitness #foodismedicine #h2o #healthiswealth #healthyeating #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #hotwater #instagood #myhealth #photogram #richnutrition #vegan #vegancommunity #veganforhealth #veganhealing #veganinfo #veganknowledge #veganlife #veganlifestyle #veganpower #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #warmwater #waterbenefits #watertips #capetownvegan #vegansofcapetown https://www.instagram.com/p/BuTyAN_A3is/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lfd0rw5cxjph
