What are the health benefits of eating Swiss chard?

The combination of traditional nutrients; phytochemicals, particularly carotenes, chlorophyll, and other plant pigments; and soluble fiber makes Swiss chard one of the most powerful anti-cancer foods, particularly against digestive tract cancers. Several research studies on Swiss chard focus specifically on colon cancer, where the incidence of precancerous lesions in animals has been found to be significantly reduced following dietary intake of Swiss chard extracts. In addition, the vitamin K provided by Swiss chard -- 388.9 percent of the daily value in one cup of cooked Swiss chard -- is important for maintaining bone health.

Vitamin K1 activates osteocalcin, the major non-collagen protein in bone. Osteocalcin anchors calcium molecules inside the bone. Therefore, without enough vitamin K1, osteocalcin levels are inadequate, and bone mineralization is impaired.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
