Lovely Spinach

by laurel on July 9, 2007

ChefMD™ writes that a new study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Boston’s Harvard Medical School found that eating spinach can help lower your risk of ovarian cancer. Spinach contains a flavonoid called kaempferol which researchers found reduces ovarian cancer risk by 40%. ChefMD™ champions spinach for being packed with beta carotene, vitamin B6, zinc, folic acid, potassium, and magnesium.

Easy way to add spinach to your diet: replace lettuce with spinach on your favorite sandwich.

And if you are pregnant spinach is fabulous to throw in your salads. It was an acquired taste for me but it is just so good for you especially when you are pregnant…as I am :)
