The nutrients in spinach can help with conditions where
inflammation plays a role, like asthma, osteoarthritis, and
rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.
=============
Anti-oxidant
=============
Spinach is an excellent source of Vitamins C and A--These
two nutrients are important antioxidants that work to
reduce the amounts of free radicals in the body.
Also, researchers have identified at least 13 different
flavonoid compounds in spinach that function as
antioxidants and anti-cancer agents.
=========
Eye Health
=========
Spinach has lutein, which helps protect against eye
diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and
cataracts.
====
Iron
====
Spinach is a superb source of iron, a mineral that's
important for menstruating women, who are more at risk for
iron deficiency.
In comparison to red meat (a well-known source of iron),
spinach provides iron for a lot less calories, no
cholesterol and is totally fat-free.
Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, which moves
oxygen from the lungs to all of our body's cells. It's
vital to have oxygen in our cells for energy and overall
health.
============
Strong bones
============
The vitamin K in spinach is important for maintaining bone
health.
In studies, researchers have found that spinach can help
protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the
effects of age-related related declines in brain function.
===========================
Health "further down there"
===========================
The vitamin C and beta-carotene in spinach help to protect
the colon cells from the damaging effects of free radicals,
and the fiber keeps things moving along smoothly.
===============================
Heart and cardiovascular health
===============================
Spinach is an excellent source of folate. Folate is
needed by the body to help prevent against heart attack or
stroke.
It also has magnesium, a mineral that can help lower high
blood pressure and protect against heart disease.
Spinach is even a source of omega 3 essential fatty acids.
Your body needs these fats for healthy cell development and
brain function.
Whew! Popeye knew what he was doing, didn't he?
Now, many people stay away from spinach because it gives
them gas, pain or just tastes horrible because of the way
it was prepared.
But the problem is not with the spinach--it only causes
pain when it's eaten with the wrong other foods.
And when ANY food is cooked to a tasteless mush (like most
people cook spinach), why would anyone want it?
In Great Taste No Pain, I'll teach you how to enjoy this
nature's powerhouse without gas, bloating, or needing to
crash on the couch afterwards.
And with my recipes in the Great Taste No Pain recipe
book, you'll LOVE every single mouthful. I guarantee
you've never had spinach prepared the ways I do it. After
I'm done, it just might be one of your favorite foods.

Sherry:
I just wanted to thank you for your great eating plan.
Just like you said, the 1st day I tried this, my pain was
gone by the end of the day.
I was in so much pain on Friday the 13th, I thought I
would have to go to the hospital.
I started your food plan on Saturday and could not believe
how much better I felt when I went to bed that night.
I am on day 3 now and I love not having that pain in my
stomach anymore.
I can easily stick to this way of eating because the food
is good and I do not want to be in that much pain ever
again.
