Health Benefits Kale, also called Borecole is a form of cabbage in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. Kale has gained recent widespread attention because of their health-promoting, sulfur-containing phytonutrients. It is found used both in culinary as well as ornamental purposes. Due to its extensive beneficial nutrients, vitamins and minerals content it has been used to heal various health related problems since ancient times. 1. Prevents inflammation and builds healthy bones Kale consists of high amount of vitamin K, which is essential for bone mineral density and osteoporosis prevention. A lack of vitamin K in the diet can also contribute to excessive inflammation in the body, leading to joint pain and indications of arthritis.(1) 2. Beneficial for Skin Vitamin A, found in kale, help in treating and preventing acne because of its anti-inflammatory effects. The retinoid in vitamin A prevent the inflammation of acne and decrease the overproduction of oil in the skin. One cup of kale contains over 100 percent of your required daily intake of vitamin A.(2) 3. Help prevent cancer Cancer is a one of the awful disease, categorized by uncontrolled growth of cells. Kale is loaded with compounds which are supposed to have protective effects against cancer. Sulforaphane is actually a compound which is proven to fight the formation of cancer at molecular level. Apart from that kale also contains of indole-3-carbinol, another substance which is assumed to help prevent cancer. Research has shown that cruciferous vegetables like kale, cauliflower may considerably lower the risk of several cancers, though the evidence in humans is mixed.(3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) 4. Prevent gout and kidney stones Kale is a good source of vitamin C, which help to prevent the buildup of uric acid within our systems. This acid buildup can deposit in our kidneys and joints and perhaps lead to the development of gout and kidney stones.(10) 5. Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease Cholesterol performs several important functions within the body. The liver turns cholesterol into bile acids, which are then released into the digestive system whenever we eat a fatty meal. Kale contains bile acid sequestrants, which helps to lower cholesterol levels which lead to a reduced risk of heart disease over time. One current research found that daily consumption of kale juice for about 12 weeks increased HDL (the "good") cholesterol by 27% and lowered LDL levels by 10%, while also improving antioxidant status. Another research concluded that, steaming kale dramatically increases the bile acid binding effect. Steamed kale is actually 43% as potent as cholestyramine, a cholesterol lowering drug that functions in this way.(11), (12), (13) 6. Protect the Eyes One of the most common consequences of ageing is that eyesight becomes poorer. Luckily, there are several nutrients in the diet which can help avoid this from happening. Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoid antioxidants which are found in large amounts in kale and some other foods are extremely beneficial for protecting your eyes. Many researches have revealed that people who consume sufficient lutein and zeaxanthin have a much lower risk of macular degeneration and cataracts, two very common eye disorders.(14), (15) 7. Help to Lose Weight Kale has numerous properties that make it a weight loss friendly food. It is extremely low in calories… but still offers substantial bulk that helps you feel full. Because of the low calorie and high water content, kale has got a low energy density. Consumption of foods with a low energy density has been proven to aid weight loss in several studies. Despite the low amount of calories, it contains small amounts of protein and fiber. These are two most important nutrients when it comes to losing weight. Though there is no research directly testing the effects of kale on weight loss, it makes sense that it might be a useful addition to a weight loss diet.(16), (17) 8. Loaded with Antioxidant Kale, just like other leafy greens, is extremely high in antioxidants. Kale consists of beta-carotene, vitamin C, as well as various flavonoids and polyphenols which help to stabilize oxidative damage by free radicals in the body. Oxidative damage is supposed to be one of the major reasons of ageing and many diseases, including cancer. However many substances that happen to be antioxidants also have additional important functions this includes the flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol, that are found in comparatively large amounts in kale. They have powerful anti-inflammatory, cardio-protective, blood pressure lowering, anti-viral, anti-depressant and anti-cancer effects.(18), (19), (20), (21), (22), (23), (24) |
