If you are my age, you might remember the animated character Popeye the Sailor Man, who popularised spinach for its iron-rich green leaves and the amazing strength it gave him. While spinach has long been celebrated in pop culture, its real-life benefits are even more impressive.

Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrition. Raw spinach in salads provides wonderful fibre, but when juiced, you unlock its full range of nutritive properties. It’s a rich source of provitamin A, vitamin C, and iron, with more protein than any other leafy vegetable. For cleansing and regenerating the intestinal tract, raw spinach is indispensable. It stimulates the peristaltic wave in the intestines, promoting regularity, while also boosting liver function, lymph gland activity, and blood circulation.

When buying spinach for juicing, try to choose organic or locally grown large-leaf spinach from farmers’ markets. These leaves are much better for juicing than the baby spinach often found in supermarkets.

Spinach doesn’t just benefit digestion – it also contributes to a healthier overall system. It stimulates the liver, improves lymphatic drainage, and supports healthy blood circulation. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their diet with a natural, nutrient-dense food.

For those focused on regularity and digestive health, spinach’s ability to cleanse and regenerate the intestinal tract is unmatched. Its versatility means you can enjoy it raw in salads, blended into smoothies, or juiced for maximum impact.
