When it comes to leafy greens, spinach is a great option. If you don’t like the pungency of other vegetables like kale, spinach’s mellow, earthy flavor is perfect for you. It is quite a versatile food. Spinach can be included in a variety of recipes both fresh and frozen. Whether you are making a nutritious smoothie, a chilled salad, a filling stew or a steamed side dish, spinach can be used as an ingredient in every dish. Nutritionist Lavneet Batra shared some important health benefits of the superfood in her latest Instagram post. She claims, “Rich in nutrients, spinach is a low-calorie powerhouse of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.”

These are the benefits of spinach

1. Rich in vitamin K

Vitamin K is essential for the health and growth of your bones and can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis and bone fractures. It also promotes blood clotting and helps reduce inflammation in the body. Vitamin K protects heart arteries and strengthens blood vessel walls.

2. Rich in antioxidants

Spinach is rich in antioxidants, which prevent damage to the body caused by free radicals. The antioxidants in this green veggie promote eye health, help lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity and prevent oxidative stress in diabetic patients.

3. Supports heart health
Spinach contains nitrates, which help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. This may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Spinach is also rich in potassium, which helps lower your blood pressure and help your kidneys get rid of excess sodium.

The caption of the post reads, “Spinach isn’t just for filling salads – it’s a powerhouse of nutrition! From strong bones to a healthy heart, this green leafy veggie is a must-have.”

Apart from this, Loveneet Batra shares a pro tip of her own and says, “Eat it raw or lightly cooked.” She further says, “Eat spinach as a salad or lightly sauté it to preserve its nutrients.”
