The Benefits To Your Body
Oranges contain rich amounts of vitamin C to improve the appearance of your skin and your immune system to fight infections and diseases. Eating vitamin C rich foods with iron-rich foods helps increase iron absorption to improve energy.
Beetroot is perfect if you feel fatigued and is often used in treating anaemia and iron deficiency. It is also known to help cleanse out your blood cleanser, acting like a detoxifying tonic for your body and has a long history of use in the treatment of cancer. Similar to oranges and vitamin C, eating beetroot may help boost your resistance to illnesses and infections. It is best to eat beetroot raw as the vitamins and nutrients are more potent as they haven’t been depleted in the cooking process.
Ginger provides a natural morning sickness relief during pregnancy and aids digestion.
Carrots provide a rich amount of vitamin A. Just one large carrot a day will supply you with your daily requirement of vitamin A. Hailed as a ‘beauty food’ the body converts the beta-carotene from carrots into vitamin A which helps keep your skin and hair, nails and eyes looking good by promoting and stimulating the cells in your body to regenerate, maintaining collagen and oil production. This helps slow down in the body to slow down the skin’s ageing process and eyesight deterioration.
