A yummy Health Tip

A favorite of mine and said to be one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet, KALE! One cup is only 36 calories, has 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium & vit B6, 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. Also a good source of the minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. Those high amounts of A, C and K are what really puts it over the top and lutein and zeaxanthin compounds which are both vital for eye health. The high fiber content helps lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, especially when it's cooked instead of raw. *Note, it also contains oxalates which can interfere with the absorption of calcium so avoid eating calcium-rich foods at the same time. So with all this in just 1 cup WHO NEEDS A MULTI VITAMIN! Eat your Kale, your body will thank you in so many ways.....
