Al-imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) said: Whoever obeys his whim, gives his enemy his desire.

The study also determined that the extract helped correct other metabolic disorders associated with diabetes, such as high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Similar results were found after testing the antidiabetic effects of turnip greens.

One 28-day study in rats with diabetes observed that those fed a daily dose of 90–180 mg of turnip leaf extract per pound (200–400 mg per kg) experienced significantly reduced blood sugar, as well as lower total and LDL…

May help control blood sugar levels
Managing your blood sugar is critical for health, especially for those who have diabetes, and animal studies suggest that turnips may have antidiabetic effects.
One 9-month study in rats on a high sugar diet found that treatment with 45 mg of turnip extract per pound (100 mg per kg) of body weight lowered blood sugar levels and increased levels of insulin, compared with the control group.

Anthocyanins are present in blue and purple fruits and vegetables, such as turnips, and eating them is linked to lower rates of chronic and degenerative diseases

Glucosinolates are a group of bioactive plant compounds that also provide antioxidant activity, meaning they mitigate the cancer-promoting effects of oxidative stress

Numerous studies have linked higher intakes of glucosinolates with a reduced risk of different types of cancer, including lung, colon, and rectal cancers.

Furthermore, turnips contain high amounts of flavonoids — mainly anthocyanins — another type of antioxidant with proven anticancer effects.

Health benefits of turnips
Due to their nutritional composition, turnips — and turnip greens — offer many health-promoting effects.
May have anticancer properties
Turnips contain several beneficial plant compounds associated with cancer-fighting properties.
Besides their high vitamin C content, which may help prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells, turnips are rich in glucosinolates.

Additionally, the leaves contain high amounts of folate, which aids the production of red blood cells and helps prevent developmental irregularities in fetuses.

Both turnips and turnip greens provide over 30% of the DV for vitamin C. Additionally, the greens are a great source of folate, vitamin K, and provitamin A.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: (There is no good in silence about wisdom, just as there is no good in saying falsehood).

This nutrient also improves iron absorption and helps regulate blood cholesterol, among many other health benefits.
Furthermore, turnip greens are rich in the fat-soluble vitamins K and A, the type that your body absorbs better when consumed with fats.
Vitamin K plays an essential role as a clotting agent, meaning that it helps prevent excessive bleeding. Plus, vitamin A is vital for eye, skin, and lung health

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.
