What are the health benefits of eating kale and are there any side negative side effects to eating kale?

Health Benefits of Kale:

Rich in Nutrients: Kale is packed with vitamins A, C, and K. It's also a good source of:
Vitamin A helps with eye health, skin, and immune system function.
Vitamin C is crucial for skin health, immune function, and acts as an antioxidant.
Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Antioxidants: Kale contains various antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol which help combat oxidative stress and might reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Fiber Content: High in fiber, which promotes healthy digestion, can aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer, and helps in maintaining bowel health.
Minerals: It provides calcium, potassium, and iron, which are important for bone health, muscle function, and blood health respectively.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Contains small amounts of alpha-linolenic acid, beneficial for heart health.
Cancer-Fighting Potential: Some studies suggest that the glucosinolates in kale might have a role in cancer prevention, though more research is needed.
Heart Health: The combination of fiber, antioxidants, and potassium contribute to cardiovascular health by potentially lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.

Potential Negative Side Effects:
Thallium and Oxalates:
Thallium: Kale can contain small amounts of thallium, a heavy metal. While not typically a concern in moderate consumption, excessive intake might be problematic, especially for individuals with kidney issues where detoxification might be impaired.
Oxalates: Like spinach, kale has oxalates which can contribute to kidney stones in susceptible individuals. Cooking kale can help reduce oxalate levels.
Vitamin K and Blood Thinners: Kale's high vitamin K content can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin. People on these medications need to maintain consistent vitamin K intake.

Goitrogens: Raw kale contains goitrogens, compounds that might interfere with thyroid function by blocking iodine absorption if consumed in very large amounts. However, cooking greatly reduces this effect.

Bloating and Gas: Due to its high fiber content, some people might experience digestive discomfort like bloating or gas, especially if they're not used to a high-fiber diet.
Pesticides: Non-organic kale might carry residues of pesticides. Washing thoroughly or choosing organic can mitigate this risk.
Conclusion:Kale is generally very beneficial for health when included in a balanced diet. For most people, the advantages far outweigh the risks. However, as with any food, moderation is key, and individuals with specific health conditions should consider how kale might affect their health or interact with their medications. Cooking kale can reduce some of the potential negative effects like goitrogens and oxalates. Always consider personal health circumstances or consult with a healthcare provider if you're concerned about specific dietary impacts.

@River I those years nobody knew what the F was going to happen, so they sold

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

Arguably the 50 most influential books in history.

Most of us spent 12+ years in school and were assigned almost none of them.

How many have you read?

You're not chronically fatigued, you're chronically INFLAMED.

INFLAMMATION is the KEY underlying contributor to always feeling tired / fatigued.

Here's how (& what to do about it):

Surveys show ~60% of chronic fatigue is initiated from an infection.

The CDC has estimated that up to 80% of cases of chronic fatigue follow from a viral illness.

This is crazy.

It's a sign that the immune response has not been shut off properly since the original insult, and that chronic inflammation.

Other studies have shown that other major causes of chronic fatigue onset have to do with:

◇ Stressful life events
◇ Toxin / chemical exposure (most common being mold)

What do these all have in common? They all can trigger a rise in chronic inflammation.

That's exactly what we see in people with fatigue, too.

Tons of studies have examined the role of inflammatory components in chronic fatigue.

Elevations in several immune markers:

◇ Innate immune cytokines (IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β)
◇ COX2/PGE2 (NSAID target, seed oil metabolites)
◇ Allergy associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13)

with DECREASES in resolvins, which are omega 3 mediators that help stop inflammation, ~40% lower in some studies.

But these levels in blood are NOT always consistent - sometimes these markers in blood are normal even with persistent inflammation.

One of the other most common findings in people with chronic fatigue is LEAKY GUT.

In this paper for instance, it was shown that they have higher levels of:

↠ Anti-β-lactoglobulin antibodies
↠ ZO-1
↠ LPS (endotoxin)
↠ sCD14

When the gut is permeable, that means more inflammation throughout the body.

The question is, can anti-inflammatory measures help?

The answer is, it looks like they can.

Many measures which improve inflammation can also improve fatigue.

Grounding is one of them.

High dose vitamin C prevents fatigue and lowers cortisol in studies.

6g a day for 2 weeks substantially reduces fatigue severity.

Another anti-inflammatory measure.

Would be careful if you want to go this high (can be very laxative).

Aspirin can also powerfully reduces fatigue, improves energy.

Constant fatigue or tiredness is often driven by systemic or localized inflammation in the brain.

This inflammation directly puts the breaks on our cells' ability to generate energy.

Aspirin not only lowers inflammation,

but also acts as a mitochondrial enhancer in low doses.

1-2 baby aspirin has been very effective for our clients as a short term solution.

Zinc reverses fatigue in clinical trials.

Zinc at just 30 mg per day reduced fatigue by ~20% within 3 months.

Zinc is a primary inflammation reducing nutrient.

Its levels declines in aging.

Wasabi alleviated fatigue in another clinical trial.

Using it for 12 weeks:

➥ Decreased mental fatigue
➥ Reduced headache severity
➥ Improved brain fog / memory

6-Methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate (6-MSITC) is the active compound here - showing anti-inflammatory effects that help target the core cause of chronic fatigue.

Measures to improve gut health can also reduce fatigue.

For instance, multiple studies have shown that probiotics can reduce fatigue, especially post infectious fatigue.

Amazing what happens when you focus systemically on improving inflammation.

This just scratches the surface. I've done deep dives on gut health here

Ultimately, a personalized, more comprehensive approach would be best.

@MyTimeToShineH WHO?

[Classic Learning Test @CLT_Exam]

Go ask a normal American student why school matters and you will hear something about college, career, or money.

Go ask a classically educated student the same question and you will hear words like wisdom, virtue, truth, beauty, or God.

That is the difference between education as workforce preparation and education as human formation.

America has spent generations funding the first vision while wondering why the second kind of person disappeared.

One of the most impressive studies in recent memory showed that 2 cheap, over the counter supplements reversed nearly every sign of aging measured.
