Kale went from an almost “unknown” to practically overdone as a superfood in the past few years. However, it’s SO loaded with benefits, I think you can see why it truly will never go out of style! Check them out:
1–Gives more than 45 antioxidants to help lower inflammation throughout the body and boost the immune system
2–Protects from cancer as a primary food source of “glucosinolates,” which the body actually converts into cancer fighters, specifically against bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate cancers
3–Supports and improves detoxification pathways in the body, helping to remove toxins (environmental, products, pesticides)
4–Helps balance hormones by further supporting detox and ridding the body of harmful estrogens in both women and men
5–Lowers cholesterol – even when compared by research to cholestyramine (cholesterol lowering Rx). [Steamed kale may prove to be even more effective!]
6–Supplies lots of Vitamin K, which also reduces inflammation, supports bone strength and balances digestive health
