It is that time of year again. We have all indulged a little too much over the festive season and are now struggling to get in to those skinny jeans that we once rocked! If you are like me, then I am sure your health kick has got off to a slow start but with a little determination and motivation you have promised yourself that by Monday you will be working out 5 times a week and the body detoxifying process will be well under way! Well that's my plan anyway!
I love the idea of detoxing and giving your body's digestive system a well deserved break. I think it is important to think consciously about what you are putting into your body and making sure that it gets all the the right nutrients that it needs. That is where Kale really does become your best friend....this 'superfood' is rapidly growing in popularity thanks to its exceptional nutritional richness, health benefits and delicious flavour!
Eating a variety of natural, unprocessed vegetables can do wonders for your health, but choosing super-nutritious kale on a regular basis may provide significant health benefits, including cancer protection and lowered cholesterol. Here is a list of the top ten benefits of eating kale:
1. Kale is low in calorie, high in fiber and has zero fat
2. Kale is high in iron
3. kale is high in vitamin K
4. Kale is filled with powerful antioxidants
5. Kale is a great anti- inflammatory food
6. Kale is great for cardiovascular support
7. Kale is rich in vitamin A
8. Kale is high in vitamin C
9. Kale is high in calcium
10. Kale is a great detox food!
For all of these reasons listed above I definitely 'HAIL TO THE KALE!'
