 Spinach : Nutrition facts and recipes about the
world's most accessible and versatile superfood.
Welcome. My name is Trevor Johnson and I'm here to
improve your health and your quality of life with research-based
education and nutrition facts about spinach.
Popeye was not the only believer in the plentiful benefits
of spinach. Nutritionists and dieticians, and
increasingly the medical profession as a whole have come to understand
that spinach truly is one of the
healthiest foods you can eat. A daily spinach recipe
in your diet is a vital part of your ongoing health and vitality.
Spinach is low in calories,
yet extremely high in vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients
(natural plant chemicals with human nutritional value.).
Unlike a handful of other nutrient-dense health foods
(such as aloe vera and spirulina, for example), spinach
is readily accessible to all, available almost everywhere in the world
today as a whole food, rather than only as a processed supplement, and
is a low priced vegetable that everyone can afford - or even grow
spinach in your own back yard. It can be used in a
remarkably wide range of healthy spinach recipes.
The modern, Western diet has changed dramatically over
the past century and with those changes have come a raft of
degenerative diseases. Some of these diseases were never before known.
Others are now occurring far more commonly and at younger ages than in
generations past.
It is no co-incidence that our changed diet and the rise
of these diseases go hand-in-hand.
One of those changes has been that grain products have
become one of the dominant sources of caloric intake today, despite
being relatively low in nutrient value.
On the other hand, the western diet today contains only
40% of the volume of vegetables, such as spinach,
than it did a century ago.
I invite you to study the facts and the spinach
benefits presented on this web site, then do yourself a
favour. Do your whole family a favour. Adopt a new motto and live it as
much as you find practical. That new motto is:
"Replace grains with greens...."
....and the greatest of the green vegetables is spinach.
(Other dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale rank close
behind and should also become a regular part of your dietary
improvements.)
Spinach is versatile and
can be eaten cooked as a vegetable, raw in salads (a superior
alternative to low nutrient iceberg lettuce) and in many other recipe
forms.
Make a spinach recipe a
daily part of your life, starting today. Your body will thank you for
it.
