5. Anti-inflammatory
Kale is an anti-inflammatory. With so many herbal solutions to inflammation such as kale, honey, and cannabis, it’s truly baffling why people would still take NSAIDs that brings a myriad of side effects with them. Popping pills is never a good habit, especially when there are perfectly good alternatives.
A single cup of kale contains a tenth of the omega-3 fatty acids that you need each day which supports the endocannabinoid system thereby reducing inflammation. Boosting the endocannabinoid system can also improve cognitive function, prevent heart disease, and help keep you healthy in countless other ways. The next time you’re suffering from inflammation, drop the Ibuprofen and get yourself a cup of kale.
You can even blend kale up and drink it in smoothie form to deal with inflammation while also getting a tasty snack. If you want to add some flavor, you can pour some honey into the blender.
