Go crazy on spinach!



    While not many people willingly pile spinach on their plates, this vibrant green vegetable is packed with anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins, that are great for your health. Thought to have originated in ancient Iran, spinach flourishes in temperate climates. Health benefits of spinach include... Nutrients in spinach called glycoglycerolipids help protect the lining of the digestive tract from damage related to inflammation. 
Some studies suggest that spinach helps protect against prostate cancer. It also contains phytonutrients like flavonoids and carotenoids (lutein, betacarotene and zeaxanthin), that protect your body against certain illnesses. Benefits of spinach include protecting you against inflammatory and oxidative stress-related problems, and even cardiovascular and bone 
related ailments. The phytonutrient content in spinach has different flavonoid compounds that work as anti-cancer agents. The vitamin K present in spinach is especially beneficial for bone health. Powerful antioxidants help fight the onset of osteoporosis and high blood pressure and even protect your eyes from cataracts and agerelated macular degeneration. Want to improve your immunity? The vitamin A in spinach protects and strengthens your mucous membranes, respiratory, urinary and intestinal tracts, and also help fight against infection.
