Anyone remember Popeye–the sailor man? Remember how he would eat spinach and have super strength to defend Olive Oyl or put his enemies at bay by eating an uncooked can of spinach? No longer is spinach the super power food. It’s kale.
I am having a kale moment, enjoying all the healthy benefits. Who knew kale could be so beneficial for the body? Maybe you did but I am just discovering the many benefits of kale, the newest super food being enjoyed by many health conscious people. The dictionary describes super food, a term sometimes used to describe food with significant amounts of antioxidants where they bestow health benefits as a result. Move over blueberries and green tea (both considered great antioxidants), kale is an amazing vegetable being recognized for its exceptional nutrient richness, health benefits, and delicious flavor.
Eating a variety of natural, unprocessed vegetables especially dark, leafy greens like kale can do wonders for your health, but choosing super-nutritious kale on a regular basis may provide significant health benefits, including cancer protection, lowered cholesterol, and is unusually high in fiber (foods high in fiber help to create bulk one needs to keep you full for a good amount of time). Kale’s high levels of fiber have been found to lower LDL or “bad cholesterol.”
