Don't Sit on Spinach





For optimal nutrition, don't let your spinach sit around too long before you
eat it.

Packaged spinach can lose as much as half of its health-boosting carotenoids and folate in as few as 4 days after you bring it home from the market, research shows. This is true even if the spinach is refrigerated. Try to eat fresh spinach within a day or two of purchase.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 5 servings of vegetables per day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.

I'm tempted to go get one. Can't decide if I want a picture of the baby in it or not. So I'm kind of waiting to get a picture I just love. I keep trying to get one of when she is reading by herself but just have'nt been happy with any of them. I should just go do it.
