15. Kale
And we’re back to the obvious: another green vegetables that’s good for your health. But unlike broccoli or green beans, kale only gained popularity in the past few years, when we discovered another surprisingly healthy ingredient that’s been right under our noses this whole time. Kale contains antioxidants, which we already established the importance of, vitamins and calcium.
The high amount of fiber and antioxidants in kale can help reduce the risk of disease, specifically diabetes and heart disease, as it lowers the blood glucose levels (the amount of sugar in your blood) – so kale is sort of the superman of foods, as it combats the enemies of our body. Seems like a good enough reason to start eating kale today.
