Want to be big and strong, have a healthy heart, great looking skin, and feel great? Follow Popeye’s advice and eat your spinach!
Spinach contains Vitamin C, carotenoids, calcium, magnesium, fiber and folate …
Spinach also contains Lutein, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, and age related macular degeneration.
Spinach is a good source of alpha-liploic acid, or A.L.A. which strengthens cell metabolism of liver and heart cells making them better able to withstand our abuse, and helps to reduce triglycerides.
Spinach is high in magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is linked to eye sight problems, bone loss, heart disease, colon cancer, and even MS.
Folate deficiency is linked to depression.
Spinach also contains silicon which stimulates collagen production for healthy bones and great looking skin.
Popeye was right. Make your next salad with Spinach! Throw a handful in your smoothies. It doesn’t add any taste, but sure adds a bunch of nutrients.
