Why I love Kale

  • Kale is packed with vitamins
    • Calcium: More calcium in kale then in milk per calorie. Calcium is an essential at all ages to maintain bone health 
    • Iron- Kale has more iron than beef! Iron is needed in the body for cell growth, liver functions and much more. 
    • Vitamin C- as most of us know by now, vitamin c is essential for our immune system but also 
    • Vitamin A-  This vitamin is essential for eye health but also helps prevent lung and other cancer. 
    • One cup of chopped kale contains 33 calories and 9% of the daily value of calcium, 206% of vitamin A, 134% of vitamin C, and a whopping 684% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. (WEBMD)
  • Kale is great for detoxing because it is filled with fiber and sulfur, which detoxes you and helps keep your liver healthy.
  • Kale is loaded with antioxidants 
  • Kale helps lower cholesterol levels                             
  • Kale is a great source of Omega 3 Fatty acids:
    • One serving of kale contains 121 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 milligrams of omega-6 fatty acids.
Over all Kale is the super food of all super foods. With all the benefits packed in one serving, Kale should be a part of everyones regular diet. 


Even my bunny loves kale!! =)

My Favorite quote


This one of my favorite quotes that I wanted to share. Some people view people who are nice as weak and take try to take advance of them. I believe, being kind is quite the opposite of weak. Anger and hardness are the signs of weakness. It easy to walk away and turn a cold shoulder to those in need but it takes strength  to reach out to others and show emotion.  Being kind to others is not always the easy thing, but always the right thing. Anger and harshness are signs of your own weakness. Remember to be kind to others, you never know what that person is going through.
