Kale Smoothies Health Powerpoint
1. Kale Smoothies
Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables in
existence. Kale is packed with basically
every vitamin, from A to K. It has extremely
high fiber content. It can even be cooked
into a variety of delicious dishes! Why
should you eat kale? It would be
impossible to list all of the reasons. The
benefits kale will provide to your health
and fitness are simply enormous.

2. The vitamin content of a serving of kale is
wonderful. It contains elevated levels of
beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C,
calcium, and others. It's stuffed with
antioxidants as well. How is such a
massive amount of nutrition stuffed into
this humble, little vegetable? It really is
astounding.

3. Kale also contains a large amount of
cartenoids, which you may not have heard
of. To explain simply, though, cartenoids
are basically an even better form of
antioxidants. The human body is totally
incapable of producing cartenoids on its
own, so they must be obtained through
diet. These compounds are linked to all
sorts of health benefits, from general
improvements in well-being to greater
immune system functioning.

4. Kale also contains indole-3-carbinol, a
compound which is found in relatively high
amounts in other cruciferous vegetables
well. This compound has been linked to
decreased risks for cancer and tumor
growth, improvements in DNA repair, and
also help with general fitness, weight loss,
and well-being. Research on this
compound is still ongoing, but it has
already shown to be extremely helpful for
the human body.

5. Another interesting fact about kale is that it
is extremely easy and convenient to have
around. It can be frozen and store for
months at a time. In addition, kale actually
tastes better after having been frozen,
unlike many other foods.

6. Natural compounds found in kale have been
linked to tons of health promoting and
disease fighting effects, including lowered
incidence of cancer and of diabetes. One
compound found in kale, sulforaphane,
has even been shown protect the heart
from inflammation. If you want to improve
your health, kale is a food that you can't
afford to pass on.

7. Despite all of its wonderful health benefits
and nutrition content, many people do not
include kale in their diets. Why? In many
cases, the reason is the taste. While I now
enjoy the taste of kale, I didn't always. It is
strong. It can be overpowering, especially
to the uninitiated. Even if you do not enjoy
the taste, there is a way to get your kale.
How? I'll tell you.

8. Ever heard of a kale smoothie? It's a special type
of smoothie created by combining (you guessed
it) kale and a number of other fruits and
vegetables. In addition to the health power of
the kale, you get added nutrition from the other
foods in addition to improved taste and
drinkability from the fruits. It really is a wonderful
thing.
