Blood & Liver Health Mini-Farm

Description

Plot = 20’Ft X 20’Ft = 400 SQ.FT.
Your Mini-Farm Will Start From Scratch and according to your host farm’s growing season and mini-farm type, i.e., bed prep, seeding/transplanting, growing period.

Harvests & CSA Delivery or other special type mini-farm processing will begin when any crop is harvestable.
Monthly Plot Report will show you pictures and/or video of your plot’s progress.

You will also be invited for quarterly picnic at your host farm and can volunteer weekly to oversee your plot and glean the healthful benefits of exercise and fresh county air!

We are not responsible for any delays or losses due to weather or other acts of nature or God. As your plot and your host farm ages, they will become more resilient and stored produce more abundant to offset losses and the non-growing seasons/phases.

Vegetables and herbs can have numerous benefits for blood and liver health. Here are some ways they can help:

For Blood Health:

Increasing blood flow: Many foods, including garlic, onions, beets, berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens, have been shown to help improve blood flow.

Lowering blood pressure: High blood pressure can put extra strain on the heart, so keeping it in check is crucial for heart health.

Preventing clots from forming: Blood clots can lead to heart attacks and strokes, so preventing their formation is key for cardiovascular health.

Improving the tone of the vessels: Healthy blood vessels are flexible and strong, which helps maintain healthy blood flow.

Lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels: High levels of these fats in your blood can increase your risk of heart disease.

Having an antioxidant effect: Antioxidants help protect your cells from damage, which can reduce your risk of heart disease.

For Liver Health:

Silymarin: may benefit people with certain liver conditions, including alcoholic cirrhosis. It has strong antioxidant effects and may help promote liver cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and benefit those with liver disease.

Ginseng: Ginseng is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. A number of studies have demonstrated that ginseng has antioxidant effects and may help protect against liver injury caused by viruses, toxins, and alcohol.

Coffee: Coffee is one of the best beverages you can drink to promote liver health. Studies have shown that drinking coffee protects the liver from disease.

Tea: Tea is widely considered to be beneficial for health, but evidence has shown that it may have particular benefits for the liver.

Grapefruit: Grapefruit contains antioxidants that naturally protect the liver.

Leafy Greens: Leafy greens like spinach and kale are high in vitamin K and can be a benefit. These greens also have glutathione, which is a healthy antioxidant that can be helpful for your liver.

Remember, it’s always best to get your nutrients from foods rather than pills. When you eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains, you don’t get individual nutrients in isolation — you get a blend of vitamins, carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fat, all of which have been proven to be beneficial for heart health.
