Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Kale

  • Metabolic Effect: Kale regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness due to its fiber content. Thanks to the antioxidants it contains, it protects the body against free radicals and reduces inflammation.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed raw in salads or used cooked in soups and dishes. Consuming it flavored with olive oil and lemon juice increases its nutritional value.
  • Things to Consider: Due to its high vitamin K content, those using blood thinners should consume it carefully. Excessive consumption may affect thyroid functions.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn 37 calories, it is enough to walk for about 10 minutes. This is an exercise that can be easily integrated into your daily activities.
