SPINACH


Benefits of Spinach

Super Foods that Heal - SPINACHWe grew up with Popeye and the effect spinach had on him. Now science is bearing out the benefits of this nutrient dense vegetable. Spinach is one of the healthiest foods we can include in our daily diet.

Spinach provides an excellent source of both Vitamin A and folacin, and a source of fiber, sulfur, potassium and Vitamin C.

Spinach also contains beta-carotene, iron, Vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and is a source of thiamin.

One cup (180 g) of cooked spinach contains an amazing 147% of the Recommended Daily Intake

That single serving contains 47 calories and 28% of the Recommended Daily Intake of vitamin C;

Benefits of Spinach: The carotenoids and the antioxidant Vitamins of C and E found in spinach are believed to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and cataracts.

Potassium and calcium found in spinach can help regulate your blood pressure.

Spinach also provides folic acid, known to reduce the risk of neural of neural tube defect.

Caution: Due to the high levels of oxalic acid found in spinach, people who have gout, kidney or bladder stones should avoid this food, as it may irritate these conditions.
