Keep on edging the #superfoods - magic #kale pops up for tonight. It is one of the healthiest #vegetables around and one way to be sure to enjoy the maximum #nutrition and flavor from kale is to cook it properly. Put it in the boiling water and keep for 5 minutes and actually it is done. Add the seasoning - toasted #sesameseeds, salt a bit (or soy sauce) and top with sesame oil drops. Kale has a definite role to play in support of the body's #detoxification processes. The isothiocyanates made from kale's glucosinolates have been shown to help regulate detox activities in our cells. Most toxins that pose a risk to our body must be detoxified by our cells using a two-step process. The two steps in the process are called Phase I detoxification and Phase II detoxification. The ITCs made from kale's glucosinolates have been shown to favorably modify both detox steps (Phase I and Phase II). By supporting both aspects of our cellular detox process (Phase I and Phase II), nutrients in kale can give our body an "edge up" in dealing with toxic exposure, whether from the environment or from food. Fiber and omega-3s are two #macronutrients provided by kale in impressive amounts. It only takes 200 calories' worth of kale to provide 14 grams of #fiber. And while kale is not as concentrated in omega-3s as some of the other cruciferous vegetables—and certainly not in the same category as walnuts or salmon—it still provides us with a significant amount of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the basic building block for all omega-3 fats. From less than 100 calories' worth of kale, we can get over 350 milligrams. In addition to the above-cited nutrients kale is an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), vitamin C, vitamin K, copper, and manganese. It is a very good source of vitamin B6, calcium, potassium, vitamin E, vitamin B2, iron, magnesium, vitamin B1, omega-3 fatty acids phosphorus, protein, folate, and niacin. So, to make a long story short - this kale is just #magic! ✨💫 #makeitlong #somanyletters #sorryguys #goodtoknow #foodporn #healthporn #homecooking #detox #healthyleaving #eatclean #sportify #raw #organic #vegan #desperatehousehusband #tuesady
