National Spinach Day

Spinach is one of the vegetables I remember eating as a child.  Well, maybe, holding my nose and choking it down is a better description.  Even though my parents told me “how strong it would make me,” I just couldn’t bear the taste.  As an adult, I now see the benefits and enjoy adding spinach to our family’s meals to gain the nutritional benefits. Spinach is an iron-rich, nutrient-dense food.  It acts as an anti-inflammatory and promotes eye, brain, heart and gastro-intestinal health.  It is also loaded with flavonoids, which act as antioxidants in our bodies.  No wonder Popeye couldn’t live without this miracle food! National Spinach Day is a great day to begin adding  spinach to your diet and experience the many benefits of this super food.
