Spinach:  

Regular consumption of this green leafy vegetable is known to help prevent osteoporosis, iron-deficiency as well as help to protect the body from cardiovascular diseases and cancers of the colon and prostate.  It's packed full of iron (one of the richest among green leafy vegetables), as well as being rich in vitamin A, C, E and K, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

In the weeks since 2015 began, I've been delving further into and experimenting with foods that detoxify, help alkalise my body, strengthen my immune system and provide me with much needed energy, and the humble spinach leaf, I've discovered, is just one of those ways.  It's also cheap, natural and readily available (unless of course you live close to those wonderful Nonna's baking their spinach and cheese pies, who buy up all of the spinach, which happened to me on the weekend.  Doh!).

So my present to your body today......a simple slow cooked dish packed full of this miracle of a vegetable.....
