Spinach contains nutrients that can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cancer.

Spinach also contains vitamin A, nitrates, antioxidants, and many other nutrients. The high nitrate content in spinach helps increase the body's ability to absorb nitric oxide, thereby improving blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, and balancing blood sugar.

A study published in the journal Journal of Nutrition tested the blood pressure-lowering effects of nitrates in spinach juice compared to sodium nitrate supplements. The results showed that spinach juice was the most effective at increasing nitric oxide levels in the blood. About 5 hours after drinking spinach juice, the study participants' systolic and diastolic blood pressure had decreased significantly.

Not only that, a study published in the journal Cancer Screening and Prevention shows that natural foods like spinach juice help balance the acid in the body and reduce the risk of cancer. In addition, spinach is also one of the foods with the highest content of folate, vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium and iron. These are all important nutrients for the body, and also help prevent cancer.

Another significant benefit of spinach is that it helps with weight loss and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Research in the journal Journal of Functional Foods Studies on mice have shown that spinach helps reduce inflammation, reduce weight gain, and regulate blood sugar.

Research in specialized journals JRSM Cardiovascular Disease showed that eating lots of green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, reduced the risk of coronary heart disease by up to 16%. This benefit is due to certain nutrients in green leafy vegetables that bind to bile acids in the body, forcing the body to use cholesterol to make more bile acids. The result is a reduction in blood cholesterol levels, according to Healthline.
