The proposal made by British Environment Secretary Therese Coffey to encourage the British to eat kale in light of the crisis of shortage of some types of vegetables and fruits in the country, sparked a wave of discontent on social networking sites.
However, something positive that can be deduced from Coffey’s statements lies in the significant positive effects of turnip on human health.
Cancer fighting properties
- It’s rich in glucosinolates, which although responsible for the weird, pungent flavor in kale, have cancer-fighting properties.
Helps you maintain a healthy weight
- Eating turnip is an important source of reducing calories in the body.
- Mixing kale with potatoes is a good way to reduce the amount of carbohydrates that enter the body.
- Turnip helps control appetite, thus reducing the size of food portions that people eat daily.
- Kale does not affect blood sugar levels.
Boosts immunity
- Turnips are very rich in vitamin C, which increases the ability of immune cells to fight infection.
Good for the heart
- Turnip is also full of minerals such as potassium, as 100 grams of turnip contains 191 mg of potassium, which is 5 percent of the necessary daily intake.
- Helps control high blood pressure.
