Health Benefits of Pak Choy

Anti-inflammatory action

As we know, inflammation can cause a series of health problems and consuming Chinese chard can help prevent these problems due to some nutrients found in its composition.

Omega-3 fatty acids, combined with vitamin K and some antioxidants and phytonutrients contained in Chinese chard, can help prevent and treat chronic inflammation.

Antioxidant power

Bok choy is an abundant source of several substances that have antioxidant effects on our bodies. These include vitamins A, C, manganese, zinc, and a number of other antioxidant phytonutrients, such as flavonoids.

In Chinese chard, we find quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin, as well as other phenolic acids with antioxidant power that can attack free radicals. This exorbitant amount of antioxidants is found primarily in organic bok choy, so opt for it.

Cancer prevention

The bitter taste of bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables comes from glucosinolates, chemicals that contain sulfur. During cooking, chewing, and even digestion, these compounds create substances known to have anticancer effects.

These substances are indole, nitrile, and sulforaphane, which protect cells from mutations and damage that can cause some types of cancer. Furthermore, the many antioxidants present in these leaves also help protect our body's cells.

Good cardiac health
