Some vegetables can not only maintain health, but also preserve youth and beauty.
But what exactly should be added to the diet to slow down aging? Nutritionist Ekaterina Ivannikova told Izvestia about this in more detail.
First of all, she recommended adding kale to the menu, which is rich in antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, C and K.
In addition, it is important to eat carrots. The root vegetable is rich in beta-carotene, which is transformed into retinol - the vitamin of youth.
The product helps fight various diseases.
You should include Brussels sprouts, broccoli and white cabbage in your diet. The latter can be eaten pickled.
Nutritious and low-calorie spinach is rich in fiber. Such a product is important for good blood pressure, eye and heart health. But if a person complains of gout, then you should first consult a doctor, and only then include spinach in your menu.
Fresh green peas will also be beneficial.
In a conversation with journalists, the doctor also added asparagus, celery, cauliflower and beetroot to the vegetables that are important for health and beauty. The doctor also singled out green beans.
