The Power of Purple: “Four Superfoods You Should be Fueling Your Body With”

(Organic Beetroot, Organic Blueberry, Organic Purple Yam, and Organic Purple Sweet Potato superfood)

We all remember growing up and being told to eat our greens to stay healthy, happy and strong. But, as it turns out we’re much better off packing our plates with purple foods. From potatoes to berries, produce with a purple hue are gaining popularity for their outstanding health benefits. Why? Purple foods have a natural purple pigment due to an antioxidant called anthocyanin. As more of this antioxidant is present, the darker coloured it is. It helps fight against free radicals and helps maintain a healthy body.

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a nutritional powerhouse; packed with phytonutrients called betalains that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to the body. Beetroot is also one of the richest dietary sources of antioxidants and naturally occurring nitrates

Blueberries contain antioxidants called polyphenols which help to support optimum health and vitality. The rich colour from blueberries comes from anthocyanin which are antioxidants that neutralise free radicals.

Purple yams ( Dioscorea alata) are starchy root vegetables that are rich in carbs, potassium, vitamin C, and phytonutrients, all of which are important for maintaining good health. They are loaded with antioxidants that may help reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Purple Sweet Potatoes aid digestion and have anti-inflammatory properties. They also protect against cellular damage and help heal the body’s cells.

Health benefits of our Purple Pow-der:

So, why choose purple foods over any other colour?

1. Glowing Skin

Purple foods help promote blood circulation. Lavender oil contains phytonutrient perillyl alcohol that has strong anti-fungal and antiseptic properties, which can be used to treat skin ailments like acne, wrinkles, cuts and burns.

2. Heart Friendly

Purple fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and are nutrient rich. This can help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.

3. Helps Prevent Infection

If you suffer from UTIs or stomach ulcers than our Purple Pow-der should be your new superfood. Anthocyanin has been shown to fight H. pylori – the bacteria responsible for infections and ulcers. The flavonoids found in purple produce also have anti microbial properties that can help you get rid of staph infections.

4. Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation in the body can come in any form – digestive issues, diabetes, arthritis. Fueling your body with antioxidant rich purple produce is a great place to start to aid in eradicating these aches and pains, and repair damaged cells causing inflammation and disease.

5. Keep Your Brain Healthy

Eating purple foods can help you think more clearly and help in slowing down neuro-degenerative diseases as we age by increasing neuronal signalling to the brain, improving memory functions, and glucose disposal to brain cells – all of which contribute to maintaining great brain health and preventing cognitive decline.

6. Help protect against macular degeneration

Purple foods are also revered for their ability to protect against macular degeneration and promote weight loss to keep you looking and feeling young.
