There are numerous spinach benefits. Stronger bones, healthier hair, and improved blood sugar are just a few. So, eat spinach often!

It’s important to eat a variety of vegetables on any diet. I’ve been following a low carb diet so I look for vegetables that are the lowest in carbs.

According to this list, spinach is one of the lowest carb vegetables. But, is it high in nutritional value? Let’s look at some of the spinach benefits.

Dark leafy green vegetables like spinach are promoted for their many health benefits. A cup (30 grams) of spinach has 7 calories, 1.1g carb, 0.7g fiber, 0.9g protein, 167mg potassium, 24mg sodium, 56% RDA vitamin A, 14% RDA vitamin C, 5% RDA iron, and 3% RDA calcium.

Spinach Benefits

There are many spinach benefits so you’ll want this tasty low carb vegetable to be a regular in your diet. Let’s take a look at a few of health benefits you get from eating spinach.

Bone Health

Due to it’s high content of vitamin K and magnesium, spinach is often recommended for bone health. A cup of spinach also has a whopping 987% RDA of vitamin k and 39% RDA magnesium. It’s been shown that low levels of vitamin K can lead to bone fractures as stated here. It’s also been shown that adequate magnesium can help prevent osteoporosis as concluded in this study.

Healthy Skin and Hair

There’s a good amount of vitamin A in spinach. This nutrient is essential for sebum production in your hair. Sebum keeps your hair moisturized so vitamin A helps keep your hair shiny! The vitamin C in spinach is important for collagen production and maintenance. Collagen is provides structure to both hair and skin!

Blood Sugar

Spinach contains alpha-lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant shown to lower glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity. This study even showed that alpha-lipoic acid decreased neuropathic symptoms (numbness in hands and feet) in diabetic patients.

Other Spinach Benefits

Some of the other spinach benefits include cancer prevention, asthma prevention, lowering blood pressure, improved heart health, and healthier eyes. It’s also a good source of vitamin B9.

So go grab yourself some of this amazing low carb vegetable. Need some inspiring ways to consume spinach? Here’s a collection of 59 scrumptious spinach recipes!
