Kale shakes are growing in popularity and here is why:
Blood health: Due to its high iron content, kale helps with the formation of red blood cells. In fact, kale contains more iron, calorie per calorie, than beef.
Eye health: Kale assists in the process of storing nutrients in the retina. The vitamin A in kale is known to promote healthy vision by protecting the eyes from optical disorders that come with old age.
Weight loss: Vitamin C is found in kale which helps with losing excess fat by naturally increasing the metabolism, helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and prevent serious diseases.
Detoxification: Kale contains good amounts of plant fiber and sulfur which help to remove toxins from the body, preventing inflammation and resulting health problems.
Heart health: The high fiber content of kale shuffles out toxins and free radicals from the body which are known to cause inflammation, leading to heart disease. Fiber is also shown to naturally lower cholesterol.
Anti inflammatory: Omega 3 fatty acids found in kale can help to alleviate autoimmune disorders, asthma, and arthritis. As stated before, vitamin C is found in kale also which is known as the detox vitamin and removes toxins from the blood stream that would usually cause damage to tissue throughout the body, helping to further prevent systemic inflammation.
Throw a heaping handful of kale into your blender with a cup of almond milk, a tablespoon of raw honey, 3 strawberries, a carrot, a tablespoon of coconut or olive oil, a banana, and an orange for a mega health and energy boost that will have long lasting effects!
