Tip Tuesday: Hate Vegetables? Keep This One!

For those who are trying to be healthy or continuing to keep up with your New Year's resolutions...Good for you! Staying fit and eating healthy can be a challenge; especially for those who can't stand the taste of vegetables. Vegetables are a very important part of eating right because they offer the healthiest and most beneficial needs to your body.

All vegetables are important, but if you just can't stand them, I suggest at least keeping this one in your day-to-day choices; Spinach. Spinach has so many benefits and is rich with vitamins A, C, and K, Manganese, Folate, Beta-Carotene and Iron. Another plus is that it is so easy to add to a meal. Sneak it into lasagna, pizza, salsa, pasta salads, and smoothies. Get creative.

Below are links for more information on the benefits that spinach offers your body:
