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!! =)
