Anyone else eat chard?

[Roman]

Here is a link to an entire page about chard:
Swiss chard

A lot of foods contain a variety of nutrients, but when searching for the best sources of most nutrients, chard showed up at the top of the list for most! It's a natural multi-vitamin. It also has a few unique qualities that I think are worth mentioning:

biotin: better skin, helps effective use of sugar, and helps get energy to nerve cells.
calcium: for ATP production
choline: efficient muscle/nerve communication and anti-inflammatory
magnesium: needed for calcium to be effective
Nitric Oxide: biosynthesized from l-arginine when NOS enzymes are present. NOS functions when the body has iron, niacine, riboflavin, folate, and vitamin c. Chard has all of these except niacine but if you eat chicken you're fine.

hope you found this interesting or of use.

I don't know why, but I thought chard was a fish. Gonna see if I can find some and add it to switch up kale and salads.

It sounds like a fish name. haha. I've almost completely replaced kale with it, but once in a while I'll buy kale.

I know it's revered for it's anti-inflammatory properties. GREAT produce place near me, I'm going to try to score some tomorrow. Thanks for putting that healthy bug in my ear brother!
