1. Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet and is a nutritional powerhouse! One cup of chopped kale is loaded with antioxidants, including 206% of your daily requirement of vitamin A, 134% of vitamin C and a whopping 684% for vitamin K, which may help reduce the overall risk of developing or dying from cancer! Plus, kale is a great source of calcium, potassium, copper, and manganese, as well as a good source of dietary fiber, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, Folate, iron, magnesium, and phosphorous.

One of my favorite things to do in a grocery store or at the farmer's market is to watch what people buy in the produce section, and when someone buys something that I've never seen, heard of, or eaten before, I ask what they do with it and learn something new! 

I took my 96-year old Grandmother to an appointment with her Podiatrist this week.
