Kale juice, a recommended anti-inflammatory in the morning that contains 3 times more vitamin C than oranges

Eating raw green vegetables every morning is not very appetizing. Fortunately, there are cold-pressed juices to enjoy their many benefits in just a few sips, such as kale juice.

Indeed, not only does kale abound in vitamins and essential minerals, but it also contains a ton of antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols.

"A juice - or any other recipe based on kale - is one of the daily habits that I recommend to all my patients to stay young at any age," explains Dr. Vicente Mera, head of internal and anti-aging medicine, interviewed by Vogue US. "Kale provides 50% more calcium than milk, three times more vitamin C than oranges, and four times more folic acid than eggs."

And that's not all: the list of kale's benefits is long, very long. This superfood promotes heart health, eye health, and good cholesterol. It also protects against certain diseases like cancer. One cup of kale contains 68% of the daily requirement of vitamin K, an essential nutrient for blood clotting, and 6% of the daily requirement of beta-carotene, an antioxidant that the body converts into vitamin A.

But its most impressive benefit comes from its content of anti-inflammatory antioxidants. These substances help fight free radicals and thus prevent cancer. Another advantage: kale can help limit weight gain because it contains sulfur compounds that reduce lipid absorption.

However, there is a catch. When you consume a vegetable juice, its fiber content disappears, crushed by the blender. The best solution is therefore to consume the vegetable raw.

But if a bowl of kale doesn't appeal to us for breakfast, it's better to turn to juices, which still offer many benefits. The movement Green Juice Girly is gaining traction on social media, showing that green juices can be both healthy and delicious.
