When you think of healthiest vegetables…spinach definitely always comes to mind. And for good reason too! One of the most nutrient dense foods around, packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. 

Including spinach in your diet regularly has many health benefits and as it’s not the most strongly flavoured vegetable it can easily be added to many dishes (even raw in smoothies) with out altering the flavour!

Top 3 health benefits of spinach 

1. Eye health - Spinach is packed with a healthy dose of vitamin A in the form of carotenoids. Studies have shown vitamin A to help keep our eyes healthy and slow down macular degeneration. 
2. Help protect against cancer - Studies have shown that spinach (along with other green leafy vegetables) can help protect us from different types of cancer. Spinach antioxidant properties reduce the levels of oxidative stress and inflammation in our body. Spinach also contains chlorophyll which gives its green pigment and studies have shown it to be potentially helpful in preventing and slowing down cancer growth.
3. Keeps our heart healthy - Studies have shown the spinach can help improve circulation and lower blood pressure keeping our hearts healthy. The fibre in spinach can help with reducing high cholesterol too!
