smoothies to our menu.
Kale
is not only one of the more
beautiful cruciferous vegetables, but it
also one of the most nutritious. Kale is
a
superstar in the arena of
carotenoids
and flavonoids, two powerful
antioxidants that protect our cells from
free radicals that cause oxidative
stress. The key flavonoids kaempferol
and quercitin (not to dismiss the 45
other distinctive flavonoids in kale)
have also been shown to specifically
fight against the formation of cancerous
cells. With the addition of high doses
of well-known antioxidants like vitamin
C, vitamin A, and manganese, kale is
certainly a smart choice in the battle
against cellular oxidation.
Not only do kale's antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory qualities work
together to prevent and even combat
cancer, a healthy diet of kale also
provides glucosinolates, which have been
shown to prevent colon, breast, bladder,
prostate, ovarian cancers, as well as
gastric cancer.
The high fiber content of kale lowers
our cholesterol by binding with bile
acids that the liver produces from
cholesterol for digesting fat.
Because many of these bile acids are
coupled with fiber, the liver is charged
with producing more bile acid to digest
fat, and therefore requires more
cholesterol to so, ultimately lowering
the amount of cholesterol within our
bodies.

Spinach
is considered a super food as it
is a good source of iron, vitamin A (as
beta-carotene), C, K, folate, dietary
fiber and
calcium. Spinach also contains
selenium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium,
copper, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins
B1, B2, B3, B6 and E.
Spinach is rich in antioxidants that may
help protect against certain cancers of
the stomach, skin, breast, prostate,
ovaries and colon. Spinach is good for
cardiovascular health and helps prevent
heart attack and stroke.
Anti-inflammatory properties help with
diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid
arthritis. Spinach contains lutein for
better eyesight. Studies suggest that
eating spinach may help reduce the
effects of age-related decline in brain
function.
Coconut Water
is one of the most valuable super foods
on earth and one of nature’s most
refreshing drinks. Consumed worldwide,
coconut water is packed with a variety
of health benefits. Coconut water is the
purest liquid second only to water
itself.
To beat the tropical summer thirst,
nothing could be better than coconut
water. It is a natural refreshing
beverage that is excellent for
electrolyte replenishment. In summer a
person loses a considerable amount of
water due to perspiration. Coconut water
contains a good amount of electrolyte-
potassium, thus it can replenish the
electrolyte composition in body fluids.
Coconut water is better than packed or
fresh fruit juices, sodas and energy
drinks as it’s not adulterated with
preservatives or artificial sweeteners. So, stay hydrated with coconut water
this summer.
Drinking coconut water can also aid in
losing weight as it is low in fat,
cholesterol and chlorides. It reduces
food cravings and keeps a person feeling
full.
It's an excellent drink for diabetics as
it is good in nutrients required by
diabetics to keep their sugar levels in
control.
The risk of kidney stones is greatly
reduced because of the presence of
minerals, potassium and magnesium in
coconut water. Tender coconut fluids
acts as a natural diuretic because it
has properties that tend to increase
urine production and flow. Urologists
around the world recommend that kidney
stone sufferers should drink coconut
water every alternate day to gradually
reduce their stone size for easy
elimination.
Loaded with vital nutrients, coconut
water is a very good source of B-complex
vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin,
thiamin, pyridoxine, and folates. It is
rich in amino acids, enzymes, dietary
fiber, vitamin C and minerals such as
potassium, magnesium and manganese .It
is also very beneficial as it has anti
viral and anti bacterial properties.
Coconut water works wonders for your
skin too. Researches show that coconut
water have cytokinins which are
beneficial for anti aging-effects. When
applied to acne, spots, wrinkles,
stretch marks, cellulite and eczema it
clears up the skin giving you youthful
looking smoother skin. It can be used as
a light moisturizer if you have oily
skin. In addition to the benefits to the
skin it also helps in repairing and
growth of nails and smooth hair.
Coconut water has high amounts of
potassium so it reduces hypertension by
promoting excretion of water out of the
body.
So, go ahead and indulge in this
nutritious fluid and enjoy its abundant
health benefits.
