Kale Smoothie For Super Fitness

Kale is the main ingredient in any smoothie I make, but I always add a fruit into the mix because kale is an interesting veggie. Here are the super cool benefits of eating kale for fitness.

Highly Nutritious

Kale is a popular vegetable and a member of the cabbage family.

It is a cruciferous vegetable and is closely related to, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts.

There are many different types of kale. The leaves can be green or purple, and have either a smooth or curly shape.

Provides Powerful Antioxidants

Like other greens, kale is very high in antioxidants.

These include beta-carotene and vitamin C, as well as various flavonoids.

Antioxidants are substances that help counteract oxidative damage by neutralizing radicals in the body.

Oxidative damage is believed to be among the leading drivers of aging and many chronic conditions, including cancer.

May lower cholesterol levels

Cholesterol has many important functions in the body.

For instance, it is used to make bile acids, which are substances that help the body digest fats.

The liver turns cholesterol into bile acids, which are then released into the digestive system whenever anyone eats a high fat meal

When all the fat has been absorbed and the bile acids have served their purpose, they are reabsorbed into the bloodstream and used again.

Certain substances in kale can bind bile acids in the digestive system and prevent them from being reabsorbed. This reduces the total amount of cholesterol in the body.
