It’s Fresh Spinach Day! Do you know the benefits of this superfood?
16 July is Fresh Spinach Day, the leafy green — albeit canned and not exactly “fresh” — that Popeye the Sailor Man loves so much. Although we won’t get superhuman strength like Popeye does when we consume spinach, we still get a ton of health benefits from fresh spinach.
The nutritious and low-calorie spinach is easily a superfood, providing our body with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and vitamins A, B6, B9, C, E and K1. Spinach also helps prevent cancer due to its high amounts of zeaxanthin and carotenoids that can filter out and expel the free radicals in our body.
Made up of 91 per cent water, spinach can improve eye health, blood pressure, skin complexion, and bone health. In addition to boosting your immunity and ensuring the smooth functioning of your brain, spinach also has anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties.
Although better consumed raw, cooked spinach will also give you the nutrients your body needs. So, what are you waiting for? Start including spinach in your meals, or make your spinach smoothie with the other greens now!
