According to Joel Fuhrman. MD, "Kale has everything you would want in a superfood." Dr. Fuhrman, author of the bestseller 'Eat to Live', uses diet and exercise to help patients reverse their cardiovascular disease. Notice that says reverse, not treat! He had the following to say about kale.
- Boasts a bumper crop of heart healthy antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamin E.
- Rich in lutein which protects against early atherosclerosis.
- Contains an unusual compound - glucorophanin - that activates a special protein called Nrf2.
- Creates a Teflon-like coating in arteries to keep plaque from adhering.
