Health and fertility benefits of Kale and Banana Smoothie
Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries. Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.
Ingredients
1 banana
2 cups chopped kale
1/2 cup light unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
