Love the superfood: spinach!

Love the superfood: spinach! 
There is a vegetable I discovered recently that I didn't think I would like, but I loved it and that is spinach. I have spinach on sandwiches and salads and it compliments chicken/turkey really well! I have eaten spinach regularly over a couple of years now and my health has improved significantly. There are many benefits to be gained from eating this superfood:
It has anti inflammatory properties.
It has many anti-oxidants: vitamin C, vitamin E, Zinc, Manganese and Selenium.
It is great to boost your immunity
It us great for your skin and it helps maintain strong bones.
It can help to lower blood pressure.
One cup 1000% of your RDA of vitamin K and this helps you have a healthy nervous system!
It is also high in vitamin A and also has a good percentage of dietary fibre required on a daily basis
