Abstract:
Spinach is a commonly consumed leafy vegetable packed with micronutrients and phytochemicals. It has functional ingredients such as lutein, betaine, flavonoids, neoxanthin, galactolipids. Each of these has its own physiological significance. Studies have indicated that regular consumption of spinach substantially lowers the risk of age related macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness among adults. There is an inverse association between spinach consumption and cataract risk. Spinach leaf protein concentrate has a strong cholesterol lowering effect in rats. Age related changes on brain function can be delayed by long term consumption of spinach. It has high anti proliferative activity on cancer cells. However, people prone to oxalic acid stones are to reduce consumption of spinach. So quantityand frequency of spinach consumption can be increased.
Keywords: functional ingredients, antioxidant activity; age related macular degeneration; aging; cancer
