Green Peas are a good source
of protein and fiber, the antioxidant vitamins A and C, plus the
B vitamins thiamin and folic acid, which support the health of your
nervous system. Peas are a major source of complex carbohydrate,
fiber, protein, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
Chlorophyllin, the pigment that makes peas green, does double duty
as a cancer preventer. It latches on to cancer-causing free radicals
and helps shepherd them out of the body before they can do any cellular
damage.
Peas:
- Reduce cholesterol
- Stabilize blood sugar levels
- Can help improve mood, appetite, and sleep
- May help reduce the risk of heart disease
- May help prevent cancer
