Everything you add to your menu is important, because it makes you healthier (hopefully!) Capers, for example, are an
exotic addition to your plate, which not only tastes great, but can bring you some benefits.
By the way, we know capers aren’t the most common thing you spot on the market shelves. So, if you are unfamiliar with these little
olive-like flower buds, check out
this article. Otherwise, let’s get to the essence now, shall we?
Here’s
4 health benefits of capers you probably wouldn’t expect:
- Act against anemia
Knowing capers are nothing more than a plant’s fruits, you wouldn’t think they can be rich in iron, right? Well, we have to say that they actually do contain iron and
that’s great! This means lower risk of anemia plus enough oxygen within the blood cells.
Hurray!
- Strengthen the bones
The buds of
Capparis spinosa are said to have lots of vitamin K, potassium, calcium and magnesium. All these elements are vital for the bones’ density and they help prevent osteoporosis development.
- Help with diabetes
Researches show that some chemicals in capers might reduce the blood sugar levels. That’s why the buds can be super healthy for diabetic patients. However, if you’re already taking pills, consult with a specialist before eating capers.
- Treat varicose veins
Rutin, the chemical element that’s present in capers, is another thing to thank for. It’s said that the chemical gives strength and elasticity to the capillaries. This means rutin can be helpful when it comes to hemorrhoids or varicose veins. So, in case you suffer from any of these, you might think of eating more capers.
