Nature has provided humankind with many wonderful, healthy foods. Interestingly, one of the healthiest of all is low in cost and readily available on every inhabited continent on our planet. This plant is a veritable multivitamin superfood, providing naturally and freshly more nutritional value than any commercial multivitamin supplement you could buy. Can you guess what this plant is? It is a rich source of: Vitamins -- Beta Carotene (the precursor to Vitamin A), most of the B group vitamins including Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate and others, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. Minerals -- Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, Sodium and Zinc. Proteins & Amino Acids -- This plant is one of the richest sources of plant proteins, with amino acids such as Tryptophan, Threonine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Alanine, Aspartic acid, Cystine, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Proline, Serine and Tyrosine. Phytonutrients -- These other nutritional plant chemicals include Alpha Lipoic Acid, Polyphenols, antioxidant carotenoids such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Glutathione, Co-Enzyme Q10, Betaine and Chlorophyll. Fats -- Very low in fats and oils, though contains trace levels of the healthy fats such as Omega 3 and Omega 6 polyunsaturated fats and the immune system boosting Myristic acid. Additionally, this plant food is very low in calories, contains only trace levels of carbohydrates and no starches, and yet is very high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. This superfood has been proven by published scientific research to be beneficial for most aspects of human health. It helps to prevent cancer, increases the SPF (sun protection factor) of human skin, lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, lowers cardiovascular risks including heart attacks and strokes, reduces the prevalance of dementia and other aspects of the ageing process, raises female fertility, enhances fetal and early childhood health, protects your eyes and vision from macular degeration and cataracts, improves cognitive function and much, much more. It is unlikely that there is another natural food on this planet that offers such a vast array of nutrition and manifold health benefits. Do you know which plant food contains this vast array of healthy nutritional ingredients? It is Spinach. Spinach is nature's most versatile and readily accessible superfood. Do your health a favor. Eat more spinach. Spinach is healthier, tastier and far more nutritious than even the best of the commercial multivitamin pills on the market today.
