Healthy and fit into autumn
1. Pumpkin
The quintessential autumn vegetable is pumpkin, not just as a decorative element, but above all as a delicious superfood on the plate. Pumpkin is brimming with antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties and help prevent diseases such as kidney stones, cancer, skin diseases, and depression. Pumpkin is also rich in the natural pigment beta-carotene, which is known for its active cell protection and thus also has a positive effect on our brain function.
2. Pears
Autumn is also the season for pears. Pears are not only juicy and delicious, but also a natural remedy for your digestion and brain activity. This is because, in addition to a high level of folic acid and a full range of B vitamins, pears also contain tannic acid, which inhibits inflammation in the stomach and intestines. Pears boost your memory because they contain silica, copper, and phosphoric acid—three of the most important neurotransmitters your brain needs for thinking.
3. Plums
Plums are the ideal snack, especially in autumn. Like pears, plums contain many B vitamins, which are essential for your nervous system, as well as vitamins C and E and provitamin A. Because they also contain the plant fiber cellulose and pectin, they aid digestion and help lower cholesterol.
4. Carrots
Carrots, carrots, turnips, or whatever you want to call this superfood, are not only great for snacking, but also perfect for incorporating into soups or other dishes. Like pumpkin, carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which scavenges cell-damaging free radicals, and they contain a lot of iron, which is good for blood formation. Tip: Always prepare carrots with a little fat, as this makes it easier for your body to absorb the vitamins.
5. Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a very versatile vegetable because it can be used in many recipes. Its nutrients are equally diverse: it contains vitamins C, B, and K, as well as numerous minerals. Vitamin C strengthens your connective tissue, your immune system, and releases new energy.
6. Apples
Apples are available year-round in our fruit assortment, but are currently primarily sourced locally. Apples contain a whopping 30 vitamins and just as many minerals and trace elements. The saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is therefore entirely true – apples strengthen your entire immune system.
