How parsnip can help with maintaining your health and wellness... (Nutritious Foods series)

7/29/2022

​Parsnips are a root vegetable that is low in calories and high in nutrients. They are loaded with nutrients such as potassium and fiber. Fiber is excellent for the body since it stimulates digestion, aids in maintaining levels of blood sugar and gives a feeling of being full, which can significantly lower cholesterol levels. 
 
Parsnips have high contents of vitamin C and K. Vitamin K helps against blood clots and stimulates healthy cell growth. Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin K can help lower chances of osteoporosis. Vitamin C is excellent for the blood and bones because it produces collagen. Collagen is necessary for forming healthy tendons, bones, blood vessels and ligaments. The vitamin produces carnitine, which stimulates metabolism.

​These vegetables have a low saturated fat content. Saturated fat is one of the main fat contributors that increase levels of cholesterol and therefore increases chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Parsnips also have folate, dietary fiber and potassium. Folate helps maintain a healthy nervous system and promotes function of red blood cells, RNA and DNA. 
 
Folate consumption is great for lowering chances of cancer, heart disease, depression, hearing and vision loss. Also known as vitamin B9, folate can greatly reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and are especially beneficial to women who have regular consumptions of alcohol. During pregnancy, women are encouraged to increase folate intake in order to lower chances of birth defects. 
 
Dietary fiber is essential for a healthy diet. Most of the fiber in parsnips is soluble fiber, which has been found to lower chances of high blood cholesterol levels and diabetes. Foods that are high in fiber aid against stroke, cancer, hemorrhoids, heart disease, diverticulitis and obesity. 
 
Parsnips have high content of potassium, which helps maintain and develop healthy bones. Those who have diets rich in potassium significantly lower their risks of high blood pressure and stroke. Other minerals found in parsnips include calcium, iron, phosphorus and manganese. 
 
The calorie content in parsnips is similar to fruits like grapes and bananas, though it does have many beneficial vitamins and minerals to match. It is good to be aware that parsnips have higher sugar content than other root vegetables such as turnips and carrots. Remember that natural sugars affect the body differently than artificial sugars and are not damaging to the health. They should only be monitored so there is not an excess of sugar intake.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
