The study mentioned by Healthline also found that the MGDG and SQDG content in spinach can slow the growth of cervical tumors and even reduce their size. The study also found that spinach can reduce the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer.
The benefits of spinach don’t stop there. Max also explains how spinach is beneficial for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If not treated, this syndrome can cause symptoms, such as stomach pain, bloating, and digestive problems.
The magnesium and potassium content in spinach can also overcome bloating problems. Magnesium functions to activate enzymes that play a role in the digestive process and maintain intestinal regularity. Meanwhile, potassium helps fight water resistance.
Its function for digestion can also be felt from consuming spinach. Because this vegetable is high in fiber, it can maintain regular bowel movements and prevent constipation.
