Health and fertility benefits of Quinoa Wilted Spinach Salad Recipe

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach, torn
1/2 cup dried cranberries
