The Power of Kale

Add this dark leafy green to to your diet to fight off the flu this February!

Taking some extra steps to avoid the flu for the remainder of winter isn't so hard when you're satisfying your appetite at the same time! One way to do so is by
including more dark leafy greens to your diet. Our favorite, and among the most
health supportive, is Kale!

Kale is a hardy, cold-weather leafy green full of vitamin C, two times the daily
serving in fact! Vitamin C provides resistance against infection, which is vital
during cold and flu season when our immune systems may be at their lowest. In
fact, Kale also provides the nutrients to build a strong immune system and
keeping that system strong can help you fight off the invasion all together.

Dark leafy greens, like Kale, are chock full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and
phytonutrients to keep the body functioning at its best.
