Spinach
TRUE or
FALSE?
makes you strong

Spinach wins the gold in any food contest, making

other vegetables green with envy. Although it
packs a punch in the nutrition department,

spinach is more of a weakling when it comes to
iron. Instead, red meat and seafood muscle in
to steal first place for truly cast-iron content.

Fresh, leafy, organic
spinach without any
pesticide treatment
is the best to eat.
SWEET TREAT

Made from cocoa beans, dark
chocolate has multiple benefits.
Its antioxidants protect against
diseases and delay the signs
of aging, while flavonoids
control blood-sugar levels.
Phenylethylamine triggers the
brain to release endorphins—
chemicals responsible for feeling
happy. So go on, treat yourself!
