[LifeStyle] The perfect superfood: helps you lose weight and prevents diseases

[#Steeven.™]

This food has only 25 calories, is high in fiber, and makes for many different recipes

It has a high fiber content, 25 calories per 100 grams, a very complete nutritional profile since it provides many vitamins to the body and, in addition, it is a great source of antioxidants that protect against diseases. All these beneficial health properties are attributed to cauliflower, considered a superfood as it belongs to the "grassicacae" family (cabbage, cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and romanesco).

In weight loss diets, cauliflower is a good ally for several reasons. On the one hand, it is a very satiating food that, in addition, has a high fiber content that favors intestinal transit. On the other hand, it has a high water content (almost 92%), something very important in weight loss diets. The last of the reasons why cauliflower is a good ally for weight loss is its versatility for cooking. It is a perfect substitute for other more caloric foods such as rice or flour. One of the best-known recipes is "colirroz": shredded cauliflower that works like rice. But it can also be used to make cauliflower couscous, a pizza crust, or a lasagna.

Cancer prevention
To this day, cauliflower is considered one of the best protectors against colon or prostate cancer. Like other vegetables in the same family, cauliflower is high in glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, two antioxidants that may help stop the growth of cancer cells.

Its consumption is also related to the reduction of the risk of suffering coronary diseases. In addition, it prevents intestinal diseases such as diarrhea or inflammation of the intestine.
