10 TOP NUTRIENTS THAT REGENERATE CELLS WHEN CONSUMED IN WINTER
Cell division allows our cells to multiply, grow and regenerate. Our hair, skin, blood cells and internal organs are renewed in this process. In some cases, this cycle can progress in an abnormal course and cause serious diseases such as tumor formation as a result of excessive cell division. In order for each step to proceed properly, our body needs a number of energy sources, vitamins and minerals. As long as we care about these nutrients, we reduce our risk of disease to a minimum and support the regeneration process of our body. Turkey Medicals member and hospital department Nutritionist and Dietitian listed 10 nutrients that regenerate the body.
Radish
The cabbage family, which is indispensable in the winter season, consists of many useful nutrients such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and radish. The fact that they have different colors and shapes indicates that each of them has different vitamins and minerals in its content. Radish, which is a member of this family, is very rich in folic acid, vitamin K and antioxidants.
Thanks to the powerful vitamins and antioxidants contained in it, it reduces inflammation in the body and reduces the risk of cancer formation. It plays a role in cell regeneration and strengthens the immune system by fighting free radicals formed in the body.
Anchovies
Anchovies are one of the richest varieties of fish in terms of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is a fish variety that can be preferred according to the season and grilled or steamed should be preferred instead of frying as a cooking method. The valuable fatty acids contained in it positively affect brain health, strengthening concentration and memory, as well as protecting the structure of endothelial cells in the vessels, helping to prevent heart disease.
Leek
Leek contains ‘lutein’ from the carotenoid family, which is a valuable antioxidant. Lutein reduces the number of free radicals in certain organs in the eyes, skin and cardiovascular diseases, helping to reduce the duration of the disease and quickly restore these tissues.
This antioxidant is most intense in dark green leafy vegetables such as chard, leek and spinach. Green Leek, which contains few calories and plenty of vitamins, helps to lose weight, as well as being good for constipation, increases the body’s resistance.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is included in some beliefs as a symbol of eternal life. It contains high fiber content, vitamin C, vitamin K and antioxidants. One serving of pomegranate contains almost half of vitamin K, which must be taken daily.
Vitamin K helps to repair wounds by providing blood clotting. In addition, pomegranate, which is rich in vitamin K, also strengthens the bones by ensuring that vitamin calcium is better absorbed by the bones.
Oilseeds
Oilseeds such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almond trio and flax seeds help to regenerate both the body and the brain thanks to Omega-3, the polyunsaturated fatty acid they contain.
These foods, which benefit from reducing malignant cholesterol, can also be good for the problem of constipation by providing intestinal motility. But due to the fact that they have a high calorie content, it is necessary not to exceed a total of a handful per day.
Eggs
Eggs are a source of high-quality protein, iron, B12, D, and vitamin A. It promotes the development of muscle, the restoration of hair, nails and skin. Vitamin B12, one of the important components of the egg, which is an important source of many nutrients needed for vital reactions occurring in the body, is very deficient in society.
In its deficiency; it gives symptoms such as forgetfulness, weakness, hair loss, dry skin and heart palpitations. 1 Egg and 1 slice of feta cheese that you eat every morning meet half of your daily vitamin B12 needs.
Kefir
The health of our intestinal flora is very important for our intestines to absorb the vitamins and minerals we take from food in a healthy way and transfer them to our body circulation.
Various environmental and dietary factors affect intestinal permeability. Kefir, with its probiotic properties, plays a big role in maintaining and restoring the integrity of our intestinal flora.
In addition, you can find vitamin D, the strongest source of which is the sun, in large quantities in kefir. You can make a habit of consuming 1 glass of kefir every day before going to sleep.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice that has been used for medicinal purposes in India for many years. It contains powerful antioxidant components called ‘curcuminoids’.
It protects skin health by creating a detox effect on the body while contributing to the repair of the body with its anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) effect.
There are also scientific studies that turmeric is an anticancer agent. You can add a teaspoon of turmeric a day to your meals.
However, those who have gallbladder disease and those who use blood thinners should not consume it.
Spinach
Spinach, which gives the skin a healthy appearance by increasing collagen production thanks to the high vitamin C contained in it, participates in both cell renewal and protects cardiovascular and intestinal health by containing high fiber, potassium and vitamin K.
You can consume spinach in its raw form as a salad, which strengthens muscles prevents mental and physical fatigue, or you can make a vegetable dish by cooking.
Carrots
The first place among the benefits of carrots is occupied by beta carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Beta carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the small intestine and helps maintain the balance of free radicals found in our body, is an important component at many points, from protecting the skin, hair and nails to reducing the risk of heart disease.
