Greenspot caters to vegan and vegetarian food lovers

 

If you’re a long-term vegan, a vegetarian, or even considering a switch to a more plant-based diet, the benefits are well documented. We’re here to support that choice at Greenspot, too. We know that eating more fruits and vegetables, no matter your diet preference, is ideal for superb health.

 

According to Harvard Health and a JAMA Internal Medicine study, eating vegetarian is associated with a lower average systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with other diets. Though researchers haven’t pinpointed the exact reason, the assumption is that a vegetarian diet helps to control body weight, which is a risk factor for high blood pressure. 

 

There are also the added benefits of eating a “rainbow” of fruits and vegetables, which usually means you’re getting more nutrients since the color of foods are indicative of their healthy compounds. Foods with little to no nutrient density don’t contain such vibrant colors because the colors themselves indicate a specific food compound that helps a plant ward off drought and pests, but also that helps to boost your own health.

 

Red and yellow foods: For example, red fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, strawberries and red beans, are backed with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants. Yellow fruits are loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and potassium. 

 

Orange foods: Orange foods like carrots, oranges, or sweet potato contain an antioxidant called beta-carotene that benefits your hair, skin, and nils, but that can also support healthy vision. 

 

Green foods: Leafy green foods are packed with vitamins and minerals that reduce the risk of obesity, reduce incidence of heart disease, and can boost cognitive health, too. You’ll find plenty of these ingredients in some of Greenspot’s most popular dishes.

 

Purple foods: Purple foods like cabbage are full of vitamins and minerals like phenolics and antioxidants, along with fiber. Purple foods also contain a compound called anthocyanin which reduces inflammation, and gives a boost to your heart health.
