**Hi friends.Hope you are conscious about your health.I just want to share something new to make you healthy.My today's pick is Spinach.It is a superfood.It is loaded with tons of nutrients in a low-calorie package. Dark, leafy greens like spinach are important for skin, hair, and bone health. They also provide protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals.I am sharing these shortly with you know.**
# Fast facts on spinach: **According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a 100-gram serving of spinach contains 28.1 milligrams of vitamin C, 34 percent of the daily recommendation. Different types include savoy spinach, flat spinach, and semi-savoy spinach. Spinach can be added as an ingredient to many dishes and either cooked or served raw.** # One cup of raw spinach contains: - 7 calories - 0.86 grams (g) of protein - 30 milligrams (mg) of calcium - 0.81 g of iron - 24 mg of magnesium - 167 mg of potassium - 2,813 interational units (IU) of Vitamin A - 58 micrograms of folate **Spinach also contains vitamin K, fiber, phosphorus, and thiamine. Most of the calories in spinach come from protein and carbohydrates.** ### Time to discuss the benefits of this super food- 1. Diabetes management: Spinach contains an antioxidant known as alpha-lipoic acid, which has been shown to lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity, and prevent oxidative, stress-induced changes in patients with diabetes.Studies on alpha-lipoic acid have also shown decreases in peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy in diabetics.However, most studies have used intravenous alpha-lipoic acid, and it is uncertain whether oral supplementation would elicit the same benefits. 2. Cancer prevention: Spinach and other green vegetables contain chlorophyll. Several studies, including this 2013 study carried out on 12,000 animals, have shown chlorophyll to be effective at blocking the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines.These are generated when grilling foods at a high temperature.This can contribute to preventing the growth of cancer. 3. Asthma prevention: A study of 433 children with asthma between the ages of 6 and 18 years, and 537 children without, showed that the risks for developing asthma are lower in people who have a high intake of certain nutrients.One of these nutrients is beta-carotene. Spinach is an excellent source of beta-carotene. 4. Lowering blood pressure: Due to its high potassium content, spinach is recommended for people with high blood pressure.Potassium can help reduce the effects of sodium in the body. A low potassium intake might be as potent a risk factor for developing high blood pressure as a high sodium intake. 5. Bone health: Low intakes of vitamin K have been associated with a higher risk of bone fracture.Adequate vitamin K consumption is important for good health, as it acts as a modifier of bone matrix proteins, improves calcium absorption, and may reduce the amount of calcium that leaves the body in urine. 6. Promotes digestive regularity: Spinach is high in fiber and water, both of which help to prevent constipation and promote a healthy digestive tract. 7. Healthy skin and hair: I, myself is in a big trouble of hairlose but spjnach is able to help us in this case.Spinach has large quantities of vitamin A, which moderates the production of oil in the skin pores and hair follicles to moisturize the skin and hair.It is this oil that can build up to cause acne. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair.Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are crucial for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, which may be prevented by an adequate intake of iron-rich foods, such as spinach. **Every food is important for our health but we need to just maintain the proper diet.I hope you guys will follow your diet list perfectly.** [Source](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/270609#benefits) ##
