Eat This for Better Circulation, Sharper Vision and Stronger Bones | Dr. Mandell

Rainbow Swiss chard is one of the most colorful and nutrient-dense vegetables hiding in plain sight at the grocery store. Its deep-green leaves and brilliant red, yellow, orange, pink, and white stems provide a powerful combination of vitamin K, beta-carotene, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, natural nitrates, fiber, lutein, zeaxanthin, betalains, flavonoids, and other beneficial plant compounds. These nutrients help support healthy circulation, normal blood pressure, eye health, bone strength, muscle and nerve function, digestion, regularity, and the body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress. In this video, I explain what the different colors represent, why every variety of Swiss chard can be nutritious, and how both the leaves and stems can be eaten. I’ll also show you a simple and delicious way to prepare it by cooking the colorful stems first, adding the leaves, and finishing everything with extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, lemon, and black pepper. Swiss chard is naturally high in vitamin K, so anyone taking warfarin should keep their intake consistent and speak with the healthcare professional monitoring their medication. It also contains oxalates, but most healthy people eating a normal portion as part of a varied diet do not need to fear this nutritious vegetable. People with a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones who have been advised to limit oxalates may reduce some of the soluble oxalates by boiling the Swiss chard and discarding the cooking water. Whether you find rainbow, red, green, or traditional white-stemmed Swiss chard, this beautiful vegetable can be an easy and delicious way to add more protective color and valuable nutrition to your plate.
