6. Kale

This is another veggie that always seems to end up on those super healthy super food lists. Although it sometimes gets lumped together with spinach, kale really is special and deserves a special listing all on its own. You can use kale in many of the same ways as you use spinach, such as in soups, salads, or even as a side dish. If the flavor of spinach is not to your liking, you might want to consider eating more kale.

Like spinach, kale is great at filling you up without filling you out. It’s super low in calories, has no fat, and is full of fiber, plus it’s packed with iron and vitamin K. Kale is also high antioxidants, which besides fighting free radicals, they fight inflammation as well. Kale also helps to restore and maintain an alkaline state once consumed. With more than twice your daily requirement of vitamin A and vitamin C, this is truly one of the best super foods on the planet.
