Spinach
No wonder Popeye socked Brutus clear off the screen after consuming a can of spinach! 
One cup of packed Spinach is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, yielding 50 mg calcium; 28 mg phosphorus; 1.7 mg iron; 40 mg sodium; 260 mg potassium; 4460 I.U. vitamin A; 28 mg Vitamin C; 3.5 m. biotin; Vitamin E, magnesium, manganese and zinc.
Health Benefits
- Anemia – The iron in spinach helps with problems associated with anemia. Eating Spinach 3- 4 times a week helps improve condition.
- Fatigue – Due to iron depletion is a common side effect of Chemo treatments.
- Wrinkles – In the morning, soak several cotton balls in spinach juice and rub lightly around eyes, across forehead and around mouth to minimize wrinkles. Do this for 5 minutes, and repeat before bed. Rinse face with cool water after and then rub again with pomegranate juice (an astringent and antioxidant).
According to John Heinerman, this should get rid of 50% of existing wrinkles!
Method:
Wash some organic spinach leaves under running water. Put through juicer. For better taste, and to counter the oxalic acid, mix with carrot or tomato juice.

Tomato Juice
There is a world of difference between vine-ripened and force-ripened tomatoes. The vine-ripened variety has a wonderful smell when you pop off the green cap, and the flavor is far superior. The latter often taste like sawdust.
Many growers opt for force-ripened method because it means more cash due to less labor and damage during ripening. Grocery stores love them because they are virtually indestructible. They can tossed around with little damage. There would be tomato sauce in the vine-ripened tomato bin if they were treated that way!
One cup of tomato juice yields 8 mg calcium; 30mg phosphorus; .6 mg iron; 10mg sodium; 255 mg potassium; 1395 I.U. Vitamin A; 11.5 mg folic acid; biotin, Vitamin C and magnesium.

Excellent info. . juicing can be very beneficial: However, how do you counter oxalic acid with carrots which also have oxalic acid? I’ve read that the best way to consume spinach is to cook it to diminish some of the oxalic acid which will help you absorb minerals. However, other greens like kale, bok choy and broccoli are low in oxalic acid and would be good choices for juicing.
Yes, I think adding Kale or bok choy would be a good way to counter the oxalic acid.
Organic oxalic acid is an important element, even essential, to maintain and to stimulate peristaltic motion in our body. It’s when oxalic acid is cooked or processed that it becomes dead, or inorganic and thus harmful to us. This is the reason why when you drink fresh raw spinach juice, your body utilizes 100% of all the minerals that spinach has to offer.
Great information. I work from home so I need energy to get through the day. Coffee isn’t always the best so thanks for this info.
Hi Alice! Nice to hear from you. I work from home too and need a little lift now and then. I used to buy V8′s by the case!
