Spinach

Spinach contains a high concentration of carotenoids including beta carotene which is the plant form of vitamin A. It is also a good source of anti-oxidant. Spinach also contains folate which is highly recommend for pregnant woman. Traditional medicine also understood the benefits of spinach and it used to be prescribed for both high blood pressure and anaemia. Doctors now know that spinach is a high source of potassium which is important in regulating blood pressure.
