Benefits of eating kale
Kale is an extremely nutritious leafy green vegetable that provides a host of health benefits. Kale is especially high in vitamins A, C, and K, and also contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron. Just one cup of kale contains over 1,000% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin K! Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, bone health, and heart health.
Kale is also a great source of fibre. Fibre helps to keep us regular and can also help to lower cholesterol levels. In addition, fibre helps to keep us feeling full after eating so that we are less likely to overeat.
