Pre and post-intervention clinical markers: (a-f) Boxplot for week 0 and week 8 hematological markers. [significant p-values: (a) Radish participants: WBCs (p = 0.002, paired T-test), (b) Carrot participants: Platelets (p = 0.005, paired T-test), Radish participants: Platelets (p = 0.016, paired T-test), Lemon-chilli participant:s Platelets (p < 0.001, paired T-test), (d) Carrot participants: Neutrophils (p = 0.006, paired T-test), Radish participants: Neutrophils (p = 0.01, paired T-test), (e) Lemon-chilli participants: MCH (p = 0.022, paired T-test), Mango-water participants: MCH (p = 0.005, paired T-test) (f) Lemon-chilli participants: MCHC (p < 0.001, paired T-test), Carrot participants: MCHC (p = 0.013, paired T-test).] (g-h) Boxplot for Week 0, Week 8, and Week 12 stool inflammatory biomarkers. [(g) Mango-water participants: LCN2 (p < 0.01, two-way ANOVA).] (* represents a significant p-value by paired T-test or ANOVA.).
