Favorite and hated spinach: diet recipes
Meanwhile, the effect of spinach, although exaggerated in the cartoon (you probably remember how Popeye's fists and biceps grew after a portion of green canned food), still exists. Its leaves contain vitamins A, C, E, H, K, group B, as well as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, a small amount of amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Spinach improves digestion, helps to normalize hemoglobin levels and strengthen blood vessels, improve the condition of teeth and the functioning of the pancreas.
