Hola,
Your “Nutritionista” here. How’s it going? Are you swim suit ready yet?
No?
What’s holding you back?
Want to feel better about your body and health?
Then you are in the right place…
Today I want to discuss “kale” (again) and all it’s nutritional glory. I would love for you to participate (that means leave a comment), but just sharing in my thoughts is good too…no pressure.
I only discovered kale a couple of years ago and I really can’t get enough of it. I was dining at Olive Garden with my husband recently and as our waitress recited the soup choices I asked the ingredients of the “Tuscano”…when she said kale I was sold. I make a lot of soups and never thought about throwing in a hand full of chopped kale!
I usually steam or saute my kale, but I recently read a suggestion to toss kale in your salad greens. I have really been missing some primo opportunities.
I opt for an anti-inflammatory diet because of my autoimmune disease so that is one reason I love kale. Other reasons include:
Kale is rich in Vitamins A and C, high in potassium, calcium and iron, and is a good source of fiber.
Kale has powerful antioxidant properties and is considered to be anti-inflammatory.
Ornamental and edible what more could you ask for?
If kale isn’t one of your favorite veggies I encourage you to try it. Already love kale? Share the love by commenting below.
I am convinced that kale everyday helps keep the doctor away, along with my apple <smile>
Thanks for following along as I live life with lupus.
