Winter season is already here and food cravings have begun to kick in. For several people, winters and good food are synonymous with each other. People mostly end up indulging in their favorite treats during this time of the year.
However, plenty of indulgence in greasy treats could end up taking a toll on your health. In an attempt to live a healthy life, it is important to load up on healthy foods. One such vegetable that is not only nutrient-rich but also replete with healthy properties is spinach. Spinach is a powerhouse of vital nutrients that can do wonders for your overall health.
In this blog, India’s leading nutritionist and dietician Avni Kaul talks about the reasons why you should include spinach in your diet.
Boosts Immunity
Our immunity levels tend to take a dip during the winter season. So to make sure your body’s immune system is up and running, one needs to include a variety of green vegetables to their daily diet. It is suggested to include spinach during winters as it is not only high in beta-carotene but also filled with vital antioxidants and vitamin C, which help the body fight against infections.

Bolsters Eyesight
If you want to improve your eyesight, then include spinach in your diet as it is filled with zeaxanthin, lutein, and beta-carotene, all of which help in boosting eyesight. Macula, a part of our retina, helps in protecting the eyes from light damage and the two important components – zeaxanthin and lutein, are stored in the macula.

Individuals who have low haemoglobin levels need to include spinach in their regular diet for it’s nutrient-rich qualities. Spinach comes filled with folate, a nutrient that is needed for the production of red blood cells that contain haemoglobin.
