Health and fertility benefits of Marinated Kale Salad Recipe | MyRecipes

Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries. Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.
