Description
Spinach is a vegetable that offers health benefits such as preventing anemia and colon cancer, as it is rich in folic acid and antioxidants.
This vegetable can be consumed raw or cooked in salads, soups, stews and natural juices. It is an easy and inexpensive option to enrich your diet with vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Green Bean Soup in your diet brings the following benefits:
· Prevent vision loss with advancing age, as it is rich in the antioxidant lutein;
· Prevent colon cancer, because it contains lutein;
· Prevent anemia, as it is rich in folic acid and iron;
· Protect your skin from premature aging, as it is rich in vitamins A, C and E;
· Help you lose weight, because it is low in calories.
To obtain these benefits, you should consume about 90g of spinach 5 times a week, which is equivalent to about 3.5 tablespoons of this cooked vegetable.
Ideally, spinach should be consumed with main meals, as the absorption of its antioxidant lutein increases with the fat in the meal, normally found in meats and cooking oils.
