Our Head of Nutrition's Take On Recent Health Article
International Institute for Active Ageing
Empowering skincare professionals to deliver the very best results.
A recent article reported on a study testing the benefits of cruciferous vegetables for high blood pressure – with results showing positive results in just a two-week period. We asked our Head of Nutrition at Advanced Nutrition Programme? , Lorraine Perretta, for her thoughts on the many active ageing benefits of these multi-tasking plants.?
“Cruciferous vegetables have been part of the human diet for thousands of years, and there’s a reason – they’re full of health benefits. The vitamins in cruciferous vegetables support immunity and heart health, reduce inflammation, and help with weight management. In addition to these health benefits, vitamins A and C are two of the most important nutrients for skin cell renewal and supporting collagen formation. Plus, they’re high in fibre - which is great for your gut microbiome - and helps produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), proven to reduce inflammation while supporting gut and brain health.?
If you’re looking for ways to add these nutrient powerhouses to your diet, try foods like Brussels sprouts, broccoli or cabbage – all in season this time of year.”?
