10 Benefits of Kale
Kale Benefit #6: Combats Heart Disease
Heart disease is one of the greatest threats that people face, with countless people dying from it each year. One of the biggest causes of heart disease is high cholesterol levels which can lead to the blockage of arteries. With blocked arteries, the blood is unable to flow freely and the consequences can be disastrous.
Kale contains compounds known as bile acid sequestrants that directly help to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream. One study showed that the levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol actually reduces by 10% after 12 weeks of drinking kale juice. That’s a figure that could save many lives.
