Popeye Knew! 12 Delicious & Delightful Benefits of Spinach

Spinach has long been associated with good health and, in the unique case of Popeye the Sailor Man, a miraculous superhuman strength as well.

With its high nutrient count, low calories and versatility in the kitchen, spinach can do everything from staving off disease to helping you lose weight. Here are 12 reasons why you should definitely eat more spinach!
