Bok Choy

I absolutely love Bok Choy.  As a vegan, I am still uncovering fruits and vegetables I never ate before.  If Kale and Bok Choy were in a race, I think it would be a tie.  The nutrient profile for Bok Choy is literally out of this world~!

 

A few healthy benefits and tips below, based on 1 cup: 

* Vitamin C, resistance to infections, and assists with nerve functions

* Vitamin A, maintains healthy eyes, skin, bones and tissues

* Potassium, helps with nerve system and muscle functioning 

* Phosphorus, releases energy from carbs

* Vitamin K, assists in liver function, prevents calcium build-up 

* Calcium, support blood clotting

* No fat or cholesterol

* Minimal sugars, 1 gram

* Over 4000 mcg of Beta Carotene 

* Includes Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids

* Nutrient balance score of over 80

* Anti-inflammatory factor of 127

 

What is an anti-inflammatory score?

This score determines how well a food fights against inflammation.  I consider anything around 75 to be an incredible anti-inflammatory food.  You will find out on this website that some foods rank over 100.  Those that rank over 100,\ have an incredible nutrient profile.  

 

The good thing about most leafy greens, they include Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids. Some people would associate Omega-3 & 6 with fish, but this is not the case.  Once you start to research the profiles of food, you will start to think differently about them. So, forget about those large-smelling synthetic fish capsules, and reach for some fresh, natural greens.
