POPEYE Was Right About Spinach!!!

While I was growing up, a friend of mine used to do the best Popeye imitation I've ever heard. It never failed to make me laugh, hearing him do the cartoon voice in class, or on the playground. Once, after
not having seen the guy in years, I heard that voice, while walking on 6th Avenue in New York and, sure as Santa Claus, there he was, right beside me. My friend had a dream to get a Harley Davidson motorcycle. He wanted to walk in, pick one out, pay cash for it and then, drive away. He realized that dream. Unfortunately,a year to the day he bought his hog, he was struck by a car that didn't stop for a red light and that was the end of that tune.

But Popeye's advice to consume a lot of spinach lives on. It's good advice. Among all foods, spinach is the pinnacle powerhouse food. It has more health benefits than almost any other food.
It's low in calories. It provides a synergy of multiple nutrients and phytonutrients (250 at last count).
It contains lutein, beta carotene, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, vitamins C and E, B vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and betaine. It also contains plant derived omega-3 fatty acids and is one of the only two vegetables to contain CoQ10. (The other is...broccoli.) http://www.favoriteformulas.com/CoQ10formula?awt_l=7D9CN&awt_m=J9tGbEM_PgZIrW Of all the areas in the body that spinach helps, the most important is the eyes. By the time we are 65 years of age, 20% of us suffer from age related macular degeneration, or AMD. The percentages go up with advancing age.

There isn't any cure for macular degeneration. That leaves us with prevention and the best sources of AMD prevention are spinach and its cousins, kale, collards, Swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, bok choy, romaine lettuce and orange bell peppers. Right next to spinach and its cousins are marine based omega-3 fatty acids (ie., fish oil) and CoQ10 supplements. Take a moment and imagine this: You can't read, drive, watch TV, or see a movie. That should be enough to remind you how important your sight is. You can keep your eyes clear by prevention and following Popeye's advice. So eat your spinach and take your fish oil and CoQ10:
