Kale juice is the anti-inflammatory drink you should add to your diet

"Juice or any recipe with kale is one something I recommend to all my patients," says Dr. Vicente Mera, a specialist in internal medicine and anti-aging. Kale juice can improve the quality of life. How? Mera summarises this in his book, Young at any age,"It provides 50% more calcium than milk, three times more vitamin C than oranges and four times more folic acid than eggs," he says. And a good dose of these antioxidants are resistant to heat, “So they can even protect other foods from their own oxidation,” he explains. In fact, anti-aging expert, Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins, in his book, Bella in the plate, devotes a few pages to this variety of green cabbage, describing it as "ultra-vitaminised" and advises readers to have it in smoothies or cold soups.

It is both satiating and delicious

In addition to having a high dose of vitamins, Dr. Mera emphasises that kale has great satiating power due to its high fiber and low calorie content. This in turn can even help curb appetite and aid in weight loss as it does not contain fat but sulfur compounds that reduce the absorption of lipids.

How to include kale in your daily diet

If kale juice doesn't sound like something you would enjoy, there are many other ways to add this to your diet, but it is important to remember what Courtin-Clarins explains– "Its high fibre content means that Kale must be softened before eating it, which means the leaves must be kneaded for a few minutes, dry or in liquid". Below are some ways in which you can include it in your daily meals.
