Some of the chronic conditions microgreens can protect you from include:

Heart Disease: polyphenols are a type of antioxidant linked to a decreased risk of heart disease, specifically because they can potentially lower inflammatory response and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) levels. 

Cancer: Consuming higher levels of polyphenols and antioxidants could reduce your risk of developing certain types of cancer.

Diabetes: Research shows that antioxidants improved insulin response and sugar metabolization by up to 44 percent. 

Alzheimer’s Disease: increasing antioxidant intake could be linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
