Which is better Spinach or Swiss Chard

[Guest guest]

Which is better for you, spinach or Swiss chard? Both spinach and Swiss chard are among the most nutrient-rich foods we know. Nutrient richness refers to the quality by which a food provides a concentration of nutrients for the calories that it contains. If a food is nutrient rich, it means that you'll get a lot of nutrients but you won't have to "spend" a lot of calories on them. In general, spinach does contain a higher concentration of many nutrients than does Swiss chard; yet, there are exceptions such as vitamin E for which Swiss chard contains about double the amount contained in spinach. And Swiss chard contains phytonutrients that spinach doesn't contain. The answer to the question would actually depend upon what your individual nutrient need were. For example, if your individual health needs required that you consume a high level of carotonoids than spinach may be healthier while if you need more vitamin E Swiss chard

may be a better choice. The other thing to consider is biochemical individuality; for example, while both vegetables contain oxalates, spinach is also one of the most common foods to which people report allergies/intolerances and commercially grown spinach is among the 12 foods upon which the most pesticide residues have been found. So, while spinach may be consider 'more healthy' for some people since it has a higher concentration of many nutrients, it would be less healthy for those who are allergic to it or are very sensitive to pesticides. We may have provided you with a more complex answer than you were looking for but we wanted to go through this process as we think that it is an important way for people to think about their food and what would best serve them. The bottom line is this… If you don't have any biochemical individuality issues (these consideration are listed in the safety section of the foods'

articles) that would preclude you from eating either, we think that you can't go wrong with either Swiss chard or spinach. They are both incredibly nutrient-rich foods that can do wonders in terms of providing important health-promoting nutrients. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
