Top Health benefits of Spinach
Cancer prevention: Spinach and other green vegetables contain chlorophyll which has shown to be effective at blocking the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines which are generated when grilling foods at a high temperature.
Asthma prevention: The risks for developing asthma are lower in people who consume a high amount of certain nutrients. One of these nutrients is beta-carotene, of which spinach is an excellent source. Apricots, broccoli, cantaloupe, pumpkin and carrots are also rich sources of beta-carotene.3
Lowering blood pressure: because of its high potassium content, spinach is
recommended to those with high blood pressure to negate the effects of
sodium in the body. A low potassium intake may be just as big of a risk factor
in developing high blood pressure as a high sodium intake.4
Other high potassium foods include potatoes, tomatoes, lima beans and oranges.
Bone health: Low intakes of vitamin K have been associated with a higher risk
for bone fracture. Adequate vitamin K consumption is important for good
health, as it acts as a modifier of bone matrix proteins, improves calcium
absorption and may reduce urinary excretion of calcium.5
Promotes regularity: Spinach is high in fiber and water content, both of which
help to prevent constipation and promote a healthy digestive tract.
Healthy skin and hair: Spinach in high in vitamin A, which is necessary for
sebum production to keep hair moisturized. Vitamin A is also necessary for the
growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy
greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of
collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.
