In order to maintain optimal health, you need to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that are packed with beneficial vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, especially in a SHTF scenario. One of the healthiest and most nutritious vegetables is kale. However, like most other leafy vegetables, kale doesn't stay fresh for very long. To extend the shelf life of fresh kale, it can be carefully freeze-dried to retain maximum nutrition.

Health benefits of kale**

Supports healthy immune function – Kale contains high levels of vitamins A and C and other potent antioxidants that support healthy immune function. According to a study that was conducted by scientists from the Francis Crick Institute, kale can help support the healthy immune cells in your gut.

Support healthy cognitive function – Researchers from the University of Georgia and the University of Illinois reported that kale contains high levels of antioxidants that can help protect your brain against oxidative stress and support optimal cognitive function. Some of these potent antioxidants include lutein, beta-carotene, quercetin, kaempferol and vitamin C.

Supports healthy cardiovascular function – According to a study that was published in the journal Biomedical and Environmental Sciences, kale contains high levels of quercetin, an antioxidant that can help you maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range. It is also packed with iron, which can support healthy circulation.

Supports healthy eye function – Kale is naturally abundant in lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene and vitamins C and E. These potent antioxidants can help protect your eyes from damage caused by harmful free radicals and support healthy vision. A study from the Journal of American Medical Association Ophthalmology indicated that supplementing with leafy greens, such as kale, can support optimal eye function.

Supports healthy digestive function – Kale contains high levels of dietary fiber, which is an important nutrient that can help support the healthy functions of your digestive system. Additionally, kale can nourish the healthy cells in your gastrointestinal tract and support regular bowel movements.

Supports the growth of strong and healthy bones – Kale contains high amounts of nutrients that are crucial for bone health, such as calcium, phosphorus and vitamin K. In fact, per calorie, kale contains higher levels of calcium than cow milk. The regular consumption of kale can also support the growth of strong and healthy bones.
 
Supports the growth of healthy skin – Kale is naturally abundant in a variety of potent antioxidants that can help protect your skin against damage caused by harmful free radicals and support overall skin health. Some of these potent antioxidants include beta-carotene, quercetin, kaempferol, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, flavonoids and polyphenols.   

Supports healthy liver function – Your liver naturally turns cholesterol into bile acids. Kale has been found to possess properties that can bind to these bile acids and thereby support healthy liver function. Kale is also packed with potent antioxidants that can help cleanse your liver and protect it from oxidative damage.

Supports sensible weight management plans – Since kale is low in calories but high in fiber and other nutrients, this cruciferous vegetable can serve as an excellent tool in helping you achieve your reasonable weight management goals when accompanied by a proper diet and regular exercise.

Why is kale the perfect addition to your survival cache?**

One of the best plant-based sources of nutrition, kale is a remarkable superfood that contains a wide array of potent antioxidants and important phytonutrients. In fact, kale is one of the best natural sources of vitamins C and K. You can get more vitamin C from a single cup of kale than from an orange. Aside from vitamin C, kale contains plenty of other antioxidants, such as lutein, beta-carotene, quercetin, zeaxanthin, kaempferol, polyphenols and flavonoids. Additional essential vitamins and minerals that can be found in kale include protein, dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, selenium, folate, pantothenic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E and K.
