Green vegetables contain many nutrients that are good for your body. These include antioxidant nutrients and phytochemicals that have a cancer-disease prevention effect. Among them, spinach and kale are among the most popular. What nutrients are included?
Nutrients?… Fresher Vegetables and Fruits Than Factory-Made Supplements
Antioxidants inhibit the oxidation and damage-aging process in the body. These include vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, and its predecessors, carotenoids and selenium. It reduces free radicals that are harmful to the body, inhibits the action of carcinogens, and prevents damage to cells and DNA. According to the National Cancer Information Center, antioxidants are more effective in preventing disease and cancer when consumed through natural vegetables or fruits rather than factory-made nutritional supplements.
Slows aging and improves lung function… Helps with eye and bone health in middle age
Kale is considered one of the green vegetables rich in beta-carotene. It has a powerful antioxidant effect that slows aging, improves lung function, and has an anti-cancer effect (data from the National Cancer Information Center). Recently, lung cancer in women is on the rise, so we need to be careful about secondhand smoke and food. It is rich in lutein, which helps with eye health, and helps prevent and control conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma, which can lead to blindness. It is high in vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and bones. It is also rich in calcium and magnesium, which contribute to bone health in middle-aged women.
If you serve it with apples, lemons, and pineapples… Reduces bitterness and increases nutrients
Kale is mainly eaten as a wrap vegetable or salad. It has a unique bitter taste, so eating it with apples, lemons, pineapples, etc. can improve the texture and increase nutrients. You can eat kale by spreading seasoning on top or lightly boiling it and eating it as a vegetable. However, when heat is applied, many healthy nutrients such as vitamins can be destroyed, so it is better to eat it raw if possible.
Kale and spinach have the right combination of nutrients… Why it is better to lightly fry in oil
Spinach is also rich in beta-carotene, which can have a synergistic effect in delaying aging and improving lung health. It also has a lot of lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes, so it goes well with kale. Especially if you have difficulty seeing at night, it is helpful to regularly eat spinach, which is rich in vitamin A. Lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and vitamin A, which are good for eye health, are all fat-soluble and dissolve in oil. If you lightly fry spinach in oil or sprinkle it with sesame seeds, it will be better absorbed by your body.
Spinach contains oxalic acid (oxalic acid), so eating a lot of it can increase the risk of urethral stones. You can evaporate the bitter oxalic acid by adding salt to boiling water and briefly blanching it with the lid open. Eating spinach can also increase calcium absorption. Adding sesame seeds can reduce oxalic acid and increase calcium.
