Total Health

Your body is the house in which you live. By analogy, it is just like the building in which you make your home. Your home needs, at the very least periodic attention. The roof may leak, the plumbing may get out of order and clog up, termites may drill through the floors and the walls and other innumerable cases of deterioration may make their appearance. Such is the case with your physical body. Every function and activity of your system, day and night, physical, mental and spiritual, is dependent on the attention you give to it.

Swiss chard, like spinach, is the store-house of many phytonutrients that have health promotional and disease prevention properties.

Chard is very low in calories (19 kcal per 100 g fresh, raw leaves) and fats, recommended in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs.

Chard leaves are an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin, vitamin-C. Its fresh leaves provide about 33% of recommended levels per 100 g. As a powerful water-soluble antioxidant, vitamin C helps to quench free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) through its reduction potential properties. Research studies suggest that regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C help maintain normal connective tissue, prevent iron deficiency, and also help the human body develop resistance against infectious agents by boosting immunity.

Many erroneously believe that inherited traits (genetic factors) are the primary factors determining their quality of life and how long they will live. For the vast majority of us, our health is primarily dependent on two other factors:

1. What we put into our bodies
2. What we do with our bodies

A simple word that encapsulates both of these concepts is "lifestyle". The good news is that even though we cannot change our genetics, we can change our lifestyle.
