BENEFITS OF FENNEL

Some of the health benefits of fennel include:

Prevents anemia

Iron and histidine, an amino acid found in fennel, are useful in treating anemia. While iron forms the main component of hemoglobin, histidine stimulates hemoglobin production and also helps in the formation of various other components of the blood.

Increases bone health

Due to its calcium content, fennel can help maintain bone strength and health. One cup of fennel contains about 43 milligrams of calcium; this can be beneficial for people who do not consume foods high in calcium and are calcium deficient. Studies show that increasing calcium intake from food sources increases your bone mineral density. Fennel also contains magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin K, which play a role in maintaining bone resistance.

Improves skin health

Fennel is a rich source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce free radical damage that can lead to premature aging. Vitamin C is also needed as a powerful tool in collagen formation and maintaining the appearance of the skin, making it a good choice for slowing down aging naturally. Adequate vitamin C intake is critical for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and keeping the skin healthy. The daily intake of vitamin C is 60 milligrams, but fennel containing more vitamin C than any food source will help keep your skin healthy from the inside out.

Lowers blood pressure

Fennel can help lower blood pressure and inflammation due to its high potassium and low sodium content. Potassium works against sodium and helps fight high blood pressure in the body.
