Health hidden in spinach

In addition to the fact that spinach tastes great, it is also a source of many vitamins and minerals. It also contains antioxidants that are associated with anti-inflammatory effects such as kaempferol and flavonoid. It is the flavonoid that reduces the risk of several cancers.

Another substance is quercetin, which benefits the heart and helps with diseases associated with it. It also helps against diabetes, viral and bacterial infections as well as allergic reactions. It is also rich in lutein, which helps protect the heart from heart attacks by removing cholesterol deposits from the walls of blood vessels.

Some studies point to the fact that substances in spinach reduce oxidative stress and help the body suppress inflammatory reactions. It also releases satiety hormones in the body, so you will feel full and satisfied after consuming it.

Thanks to the already mentioned anti-inflammatory effects, spinach is important for the proper functioning of the brain. In addition to supporting brain activity, it also protects the eyes thanks to its lutein content. It is especially suitable for people who are at risk of age-related macular degeneration, which causes vision loss in people aged 50 and over.
