Alkaline Food: Kale

Kale is a cruciferous green veggie that’s high in fiber and water. It promotes a healthy digestive tract and even prevents constipation. Kale is also a rich source of iron that is crucial for forming hemoglobin and enzymes. These transport oxygen to various parts of your body, encouraging cell growth and proper liver function.

Eating kale can also offer protection against diabetes. It contains the powerful antioxidant Alpha Lipoic-Acid that research suggests can help lower glucose levels, increase insulin levels, and decrease peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes.

Kale is also high in beta-carotene, a carotenoid that the body converts into Vitamin A. Vitamin A enables all bodily tissues to grow. This includes your skin and hair.
