Fresh Spinach
One cup of spinach has 20% of the recommended daily fiber. It is another superfood that has many health benefits. It aids n the digestive process and helps to prevent constipation. It aids in lowering blood sugar. It contains flavonoids, a phytonutrient that contains anti cancer properties. It has Vitamins A and C , zinc, selenium, manganese and beta-carotene, antioxidants that help combat osteporosis, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. It has lutein and Zeaxanthin which helps to protect the eyes from developing cataracts. It helps the skin to retain moisture which aids in psoriasis, acne and wrinkles.

I like raw spinach in my salad. I also like spinach sautéed in olive oil with garlic and green onions ant tomatoes. Below are a few cooked spinach recipes. Paula Dean of the Food Network has a killer Cheese and Bacon Spinach Quiche. I substitute pork bacon with turkey bacon. Also is Warm Spinach Salad sautéed in red wine vinegar, honey roasted garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Another good recipe is Chicken Toscana Soup made with parmesan cheese, chicken and cream.
I for the most part eat spinach every day. My body misses it when I go without it.
