10 Foods That Do Not Cause Gas
Food That Does Not Cause Gas #4: Spinach
Spinach is a leafy green plant that has leaves that can be eaten fresh or after preservation techniques such as dehydration, canning, or freezing. It has a high oxalate content that can be reduced through steaming. Raw spinach consists mainly of water at 91 percent, 4 percent of carbohydrates, 3 percent protein, and negligible amounts of fat. It has high nutritional value due to it being a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B6, riboflavin, vitamin E, fiber, potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, folate, and iron.
Magnesium is important as it synthesizes protein and activates enzymes that break down the food into smaller components. Spinach also helps relax the muscles in the digestive tract, soften stools, and maintain bowel regularity.
