My favourite veg
Its Christmas time once again and as usual I will be having my favourite vegetable with my dinner, the brussel sprout. As a nutrient the brussel sprout contain an excellent source of vitamin c, b1 and beta carotene.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is essential for energy. As an antioxidant it can help to prevent arthritis and atherosclerosis caused by free radical damage. Together with vitamin c it can help to protect from the damage caused by smoking, and drinking alcohol. Vitamin B1 also promotes a feeling of optimism, helps to overcome stress, depression, anxiety, and poor memory.
Other souses of vitamin B1 are from whole grains, brewers yeast, rice bran and peanuts.
So this Christmas add a few brussel sprouts to your Christmas dinner. Happy Christmas to all.
