Nutrient Density: Vegetables are rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. These nutrients are vital for overall health, including supporting immune function, promoting digestion, maintaining healthy skin, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Fiber Content: Most vegetables are high in dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health and regular bowel movements. Fiber can also help lower cholesterol levels, control blood sugar levels, and promote satiety, aiding in weight management and reducing the risk of obesity.
Low in Calories: Many vegetables are low in calories and fat while being high in water content, making them an excellent choice for weight management and promoting a feeling of fullness without excess calorie intake.
Hydration: Vegetables with high water content, such as cucumbers, lettuce, and tomatoes, contribute to overall hydration and help maintain proper fluid balance in the body.
Antioxidant Properties: Vegetables contain various antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and phytonutrients like flavonoids and polyphenols. These compounds help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, reduce inflammation, and protect cells from oxidative damage.
Disease Prevention: A diet rich in vegetables has been associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The combination of fiber, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients found in vegetables may contribute to these protective effects.
Digestive Health: Vegetables contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which can help promote regular bowel movements, prevent constipation, and support a healthy gut microbiome.
Blood Sugar Control: Non-starchy vegetables, such as leafy greens, broccoli, and bell peppers, are low in carbohydrates and have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Including these vegetables in meals can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Eye Health: Certain vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, and kale, are rich in vitamin A and other antioxidants that are essential for maintaining healthy vision and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Skin Health: The vitamins and antioxidants found in vegetables can contribute to healthy, glowing skin by protecting against UV damage, promoting collagen production, and reducing inflammation.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| species | Lactococcus lactis | Increases |
| species | Parabacteroides distasonis | Reduces |
| species | Parabacteroides goldsteinii | Reduces |
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
