Phytochemicals help with anti-oxidation, stimulate the activity of detoxification enzymes in the body, and enhance immunity

"Phytochemicals" are the self-defense system evolved by plants in order to survive on Earth. They are like a protective shield for plants and also make plants colorful. They can be found in many fruits, vegetables and grains. If you can consume these foods properly, you can obtain a variety of phytochemicals that help with anti-oxidation, stimulate the activity of detoxification enzymes in the body, enhance immunity, inhibit inflammation, anti-aging and cancer.

Xie Yuyi pointed out that the "Rainbow Fruit and Vegetable Pizza" not only has easy-to-obtain ingredients, but is also simple to prepare. The ingredients include five-colored fruits and vegetables, and each color has different phytochemicals. The green kiwifruit is rich in chlorophyll and carotenoids, which can regulate the immune system and have a powerful antioxidant effect. Yellow pineapples contain lutein, which can reduce the risk of macular degeneration, so they are an important factor in maintaining healthy vision.

Lycopene, which is familiar to everyone, can be obtained from apples with skin and cherry tomatoes. In addition to helping the immune system and anti-oxidation, it can also reduce the risk of cancer. White foods include bananas and mushrooms. White foods are rich in quercetin and polyphenols, which have the effect of regulating blood lipids and lowering blood pressure. Black olives are rich in anthocyanins, which can help the body resist oxidation and aging.
