HEALTH BENEFITS

Spinach

ANTI OXIDANT

Full of a magical property from the Creator, called anti-oxidants. As something comes into contact with oxygen its ages or becomes rusty so these natural chemicals in fruits and vegetables slow down this process, they’re natural pure sugars not processed chemical sugars.

ANTI INFLAMMATORY- HEART, SKIN, BONES, ETC

Spinach is full of anti-inflammatory natural chemicals called neoxanthin and violaxanthin; these are present in high quantities in spinach. These chemicals regulate inflammation in the body, so spinach is great for people with arthritis, eczema, asthma, psoriasis, heart disease, cancer, it is said that inflammation, an access of acid and heat in the body is at the roots of all illnesses.
