Kale contains beta carotene, and it has one of the highest amount of the antioxidants among all food measured. Health benefits of kale: Strengthens bones Combats cancer Protects your eyesight Aids in weight loss Boosts immune system Kale builds stronger bones Calcium and vitamin K are two important nutrients that keep your bones strong; and both of them are found in kale. People with low vitamin K tend to have low mineral density of their bones and experience more bone fractures.

This quality makes kale an irreplaceable source of calcium for both vegetarians and vegans. Eating one ounce of kale a day may cut the risk of bone fracture by 30%. Kale combats cancer Researches has found that vegetables from the brassica family - kale, cabbage, broccoli, turnips and brussels sprouts - are especially protective against cancer due to naturally occurring chemicals that block the cancer-forming process.
