RECIPES or NEWS:
3. Dark leafy greens
Calorie for calorie, dark leafy greens are one of the most concentrated sources of nutrition. In addition to being a rich source of important minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium, as well as vitamins K, C and E, dark leafy greens also contain lutein, an important phytonutrient. From kale to collard greens, cooked spinach to Swiss chard, lutein can be found in all dark leafy greens. Research shows an association between lutein and a decreased risk of macular degeneration. Mounting evidence also suggests that lutein may protect the skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, which can lead to oxidative damage, inflammation and cancer.
