New Delhi.  Green vegetables are considered very beneficial for health. Saag, spinach, fenugreek, bathua, all these vegetables have many nutrients essential for health hidden in them. Also, you can include them in your diet in many ways. Apart from vegetables, dal, parathas, soup, salad can also be prepared from them. Spinach is almost everyone's favorite and with a little twist it can be made tasty and healthy too, but to get maximum benefits from it, it is important to eat it in the right way. Many people are unaware of this, so today we will learn about this.    

First of all, know the nutrition present in spinach

Spinach contains vitamins A, C, K. Apart from this, minerals like iron and folate are found in it and this vegetable is also rich in antioxidants like beta carotene and lutein. Apart from this, spinach also contains a good amount of fiber, which is very effective in removing  problems related to digestion .

The right way to eat spinach

• Separate the spinach leaves from the stalk.
• Boil them lightly in water.
• To retain the colour of spinach, after boiling it, leave it in cold water for some time.
• Then grind it and make its puree.
• With this you can make many dishes like soup, parathas, puri, vegetable, pulao and many more.

Consuming spinach in these ways can be dangerous

Although spinach is a treasure trove of qualities. It is beneficial from weight loss to increasing hemoglobin, but if you do not eat it in the right way, then instead of benefit it can cause harm. 

Do not use in salad

Eating salad in the diet is a good thing, but if you are going to use spinach leaves in it, then know that its raw leaves can react with the enzymes present in the digestive system. Due to this problems like bloating, gas formation, and stomach ache can bother you. 

Juice is not beneficial

Many people recommend drinking spinach juice, but this is not the right option for health. Eating or drinking raw spinach can lead to many problems like stomach aches, gas, bloating, kidney stones , etc. Drinking its soup instead of juice is a better option, because cooked spinach is used in it.

Smoothie is also a bad choice

If you drink spinach in the form of a smoothie, it can also make you sick. Milk or curd is used to make smoothies, which are rich in calcium, whereas spinach contains oxalate. The combination of calcium and oxalate can cause kidney stones. Some people may also have allergy problems due to it, so do not take spinach in the form of a smoothie at all.
