DHAKA — A variety of winter vegetables is now in the markets, and seasonal illnesses tend to rise at this time of year. Strengthening immunity is essential for staying healthy in winter, and spinach is one vegetable that can help, health experts said.
Regular consumption of spinach offers a range of benefits.
Boosts immunity: Spinach contains high levels of vitamins C and A, which help fend off colds and coughs. The antioxidants in spinach are also particularly useful in tackling inflammation.
Improves digestion: Spinach has a high fiber content that aids digestion. It is also rich in manganese and plant enzymes that help break down food more easily.
Supports skin health: The vitamin E and iron in spinach improve skin glow. Its high water content helps maintain the body’s fluid balance. The beta-carotene in spinach reduces puffiness under the eyes and helps relieve dry skin.
Fights fatigue: The iron, folate and magnesium in spinach boost energy, which helps reduce fatigue.
Aids weight control: Winter often brings extra meals at events and gatherings, raising the risk of weight gain. Spinach can help keep weight in check. Being low in calories and high in fiber, it does not contribute to weight gain.
