MY GRANDMA’S REMEDIES: KALE
Kale can be used like spinach and comes with a long list of benefits. This queen of the greens is high in fibre, low in calories, and contains zero fat. It is also a cholesterollowering food and aids digestion and detoxing.
Per calorie there is more iron in kale than in beef, and (per calorie) it is also higher in calcium than milk. Rich in vitamin K, which is thought to protect against certain cancers, and antioxidants including carotenoids and avonoids, it helps promote healthy bones and prevent blood clots. It is also thought to help boost memory.
Vitamins A and C are also found in abundance in this brassica. Vitamin A is great for skin and eye health, while vitamin C supports the immune system and metabolism.
This superfood also has anti-in ammatory properties (high amounts of omega 3) so can help ease symptoms of arthritis and asthma.
