About Kale
On
the hunt for a nutritious, vitamin-packed vegetable that is also loaded
with great flavor? Try kale. There are many reasons to pile this
cruciferous veggie on your plate. It is low in calories, has zero grams of
fat and contains nearly 20 percent of the RDA of dietary fiber, which
promotes regular digestion, prevents constipation, lowers blood sugar and
curbs overeating.
Need more reasons? Kale also contains the glucosinolate isothiocyanate
(ITC), which fights the formation of H.
pylori (Helicobacter
pylori), a bacteria that can attack the digestive system and
cause big problems. Kale is also a superstar in the arena of carotenoids
and flavonoids, two powerful antioxidants that protect our cells from free
radicals that cause oxidative stress. There are also tons of vitamins in
kale – think vitamins C, D, A and K. All boost immunity, help maintain
healthy bones and teeth, and maximize overall health. Enjoy!
