Health Note - Kale

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest.....be in health,
3 John 1:2
"If you have not tried kale yet, now is the time. This super
green is packed to max with nutrition that puts it high on the list of the world's healthiest foods. Even spinach cannot come close in comparison to the number of nutrients that kale provides. Dark leafy greens like spinach are important for skin and hair, bone health, and provide protein, iron, vitamins and minerals.

The possible health benefits of consuming kale include
improving blood glucose control in diabetics,
lowering the risk of cancer,
lowering blood pressure,
improving bone health,
lowering the risk of developing asthma and more.

Kale is a leafy green cruciferous vegetable that is chock-full of essential vitamins A, C and K as well as minerals like copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. A cup of fresh kale has only about 40 calories but packs almost 3 grams of protein."
