Kale Nutrition Facts
Here are some great reasons to include Kale in your regular diet:
Kale provides an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, carotenes, and manganese.
It is also a very good source of vitamins B1, B2, and E, fiber, iron, copper, and
calcium.
Kale has almost three times as much calcium as phosphorus. This is a beneficial ratio
because high phosphorus consumption has been linked to osteoporosis since it
reduces the utilization and promotes the excretion of calcium. Kale and collard greens
exhibit the same anticancer properties as other members of the cabbage family.

Humor...
Why was the employee fired from the orange juice factory?
He couldn't concentrate.
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

Sweet Tomato Nutrition Facts
Lycopene is well known as a preventer of prostate cancer, which makes tomatoes high on the healthy food list for men.
Lycopene is not just important for men though. It is a powerful antioxidant and as such helps to protect the cells in our bodies from damage.
More facts about tomatoes? The vitamin B6, niacin, potassium and folate found in abundance in tomatoes are potent protectors against heart disease.
Niacin can lower high cholesterol levels and potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Vitamin B6 and folate also work to convert the homocysteine in our bodies into harmless molecules. High levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The fiber in tomatoes also helps lower cholesterol levels, helps prevent colon cancer and helps to keep blood sugars at a low level.
Tomatoes are a source of riboflavin which has been shown to be helpful for migraine sufferers by reducing the frequency of their headaches.
The facts about tomatoes definitely point to this fruit/vegetable as a nutrient powerhouse and a super food to be enjoyed as often as possible.
