A big part of your overall wellness and prevention comes from a combination of fitness and whole food nutrition. Eating more green leafy veggies brings so many benefits to your body and this month’s featured veggie, kale, is a nutritional standout in three areas – kale has:
1 – antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients
2 – much-needed micronutrients
3- cancer-preventive nutrients called glucosinolates. (source: World’s Healthiest Foods)
