3 Reasons to Start Eating Kale
Kale is a wonderful leafy vegetable that everyone should eat a little more of! Here's 3 solid reasons to incorporate a bit of kale into your diet:
- Kale is much more rich in essential vitamins and minerals than other veggies. It is high in Iron, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Calcium and many others.
- Kale is very rich in antioxidants which prevent cancers and diseases.
- It's rich in Omega fatty acids, aiding brain health and anti-inflammatory qualities.
So, eat that stuff up!
Love the post and kale.
Did you know animals don't naturally eat kale? Since kale is high in oxalis acids, it increases the load on the kidneys. But steam it lightly and throw away the acids with the water. You'll get awesome kale nutrients without the ox. acid that is tied to gout and oxalic crystals in vagina.
Also, kale is "goitrogenic" -- raw kale in large / frequent amounts interferes with iodine uptake, can cause enlarged thyroid and can slow thyroid leading to low energy. Sadly, so is my go-to green, arugula. Doesn't mean you can't have it, just means too much of a good thing can lead to a bad thing.
wow! i will cook my kale from now on!
Woah, I truly didn't know about the concerns about Oxalic Acid in uncooked kale. I will definitely share this information; thank you for adding to the topic!
I like to put a tonne in my morning shakes
You've got the right idea! I do the same because it's the easiest way to get a bunch of kale+veggies into you without eating them.
and it's very easy to grow. :)
