Kale Yeah!

Eat Nature’s Powerful Super-Food for Your Good Health

“Wow, LJ, that is remarkable!” Annie watched as he walked unaided up the stairs. “It is amazing after only one week out from hip replacement surgery, you are moving so well.

LJ smiled and nodded, “Yeah, I did not think I would be ambulating this fast. I am sure it has something to do with all of the healthy food you made me eat leading up to the surgery.”

Annie gave him the side-eye as she thought about his resistance to some of their meals. “Well, you were a good sport about it, even though I could tell at times that you did not love some of the food.”

“Actually, I like just about everything you cook, but I am not a big fan of Kale.”

“LJ, I’m not sure why we decided to grow it, but I am glad we did because let’s check with @doctabro, our family culinary medicine specialist, for confirmation, but Kale is nutrient-dense and has a well-deserved reputation as a super-food. It contains manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium. It is loaded with vitamin K, which supports blood clotting abilities, preventing excessive bleeding. That would surely be helpful during a surgical procedure. It also contains large amounts of vitamin A, good for healthy skin and bones, and vitamin C, beneficial for tissue repair and collagen formation.
