DARK LEAFY GREENS REDUCE THE RISK OF VARIOUS DISEASES.

Research shows that  vegetables like spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce,
mustard greens, collard greens, chicory, and Swiss chard are rich
sources of various micro nutrients that help reduce the risk of a
wide variety of diseases, including heart disease, high blood
pressure, cataracts, stroke, and cancer.

DARK LEAFY GREENS ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF VITAMIN K.

Vitamin K, one of the four fat-soluble vitamins, helps support healthy blood coagulation,
leads to a reduction in the calcification and stiffening of
arteries (which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease),
and may ultimately play a role in anti-aging treatments and
cancer therapy.

rates of age-related eye degeneration.
