Eggs and Kale

mmmm, eggs and kale for breakfast this morning, yum. This is a super easy dish with a super resiliant green. kale is so hearty, I love putting it in soups or simply sauteeing it because it stays pretty firm and doesn't get all limp and gross. I'm not giving you a recipe for this, because I think you can figure it out :)

What I will tell you is that Kale is a super food.

The high calcium and magnesium content of kale helps in building bones and is a good food for those suffering from osteoporosis. Vitamin A and C are antioxidants that protect against many degenerative diseases. The high fiber content of Kale improves the digestive health and protects against colon cancer.

The high potassium and low sodium content of Kale makes it an alkaline food and helps those who suffer from acidity and other digestive disorders. Potassium also reduces blood pressure and helps in fighting heart disease.

So eat up!! Try it as a side, mix it in soups and salads!
