Your article highlights the many health benefits of spinach very well. I especially like that you have suggested spinach as a substitute for lettuce. I’ve been doing this for a while and I always get weird looks from it. Which I don’t understand because I thin eating lettuce is just pointless. No flavor or nutritional substance. I’ll just have a glass of water instead.
