Top 8 Root Vegetables

Michael Massey | September 26, 2017

Growing in the ground, root vegetables seem to absorb a great amount of the nutrients mother earth has to offer, which is why people who want to be healthier are strongly recommended to make them a fixed addition to the menu.

You’d be well advised to start with these eight:

Yam
One of the most varied root vegetables, with over 200 types, is the yam, with colors ranging from yellow to purple. All types of yams share high levels of vitamin B6 and potassium. There are evidence to suggest that the essence of the yam contains a chemical that serves as a substitute to the female hormone and eases the symptoms of menopause.

Although it was never proven scientifically, the Chinese have been using yams to keep up their health for hundreds of years.

Ginger
Ginger is the root of a plant that Chinese medicine has been using for 2000 years. Ginger offers extensive health advantages, including help with digestion, treating osteoperosis, alleviating nausea, helping heart conditions and treating colds and headaches. All this makes it a natural super food.

Beet
Beets are a great source of energy for the body. They are high in sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosporous. They are also a fiber food and are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and niacin – they are amazing, especially considering they are quite cheap. Wonderful in soups, salads, and with a meal.

Radish
The ancient Greeks made much use of Radish in their healing. The radish is high in vitamin C and is very good at lowering your bad cholesterol. It will also support your urinary system function and will increase the supply of oxygen to your bloodstream

Fennel
The vegetable with the anise-like taste is a regular component in mouth hygiene products, like toothpaste, breath fresheners and anti-acids. The reason is that the oils in the fennel have great health benefits.

In addition, the fennel serves as a natural medicine for anemia as it is very rich in iron. Digestion and respiratory problems are a few more things the fennel can help you with. For all these reasons – we highly recommend it makes its way into your menu.

Carrot
Recent research in Holland has shown that orange and yellow vegetables are the most efficient in guarding the consumer against cardiovascular disease (CVD). Of that category, it was the carrot that was the most effective.

If that’s not reason enough to say ‘what’s up doc?’ and start munching on one, then they are also loaded with antioxidants and do wonders for our eyes, because of the carrots high levels of beta-carotene which our bodies convert to vitamin A.

Research has also found that eating carrots may help the health of your lungs.

Onion
Whenever you are eating an onion, try to peel as little of it as possible, because the outer layers contain the highest concentrations of flavonoids, (with great anti inflammatory benefits).

In addition, it has been found that eating onions increases bone density, which is especially important for adults. Eating onions will help your body protect you from infections and will reduce your risk for mouth and trachea cancers.

Garlic
A bouquette of garlic can be a bit smelly, but it is a great gift, that will leave you with an incredible amount of health benefits. Whole books have been written about the health benefits of garlic, and how it is great for the heart, is an excellent anti-viral, helps prevent cancer and aids the metabolism. It is also a great defender from diseases that are caused by over oxidation in the body.
