The British "Daily Telegraph" website recently reported that scientists have proved through experiments that the chemicals in spinach can strengthen muscles and speed up the body's conversion of protein into muscle tissue.
Scientists estimate that if you want to rely on it to make your muscles bigger, you need to eat at least 1 kilogram of spinach every day.
Researchers such as Ilya Raskin of Rutgers University in the United States extracted plant ecdysteroids from spinach and conducted experiments on its efficacy. After adding plant ecdysteroids, human muscle samples grew 20% faster.
A research report published in the British weekly "New Scientist" stated that mice injected with plant ecdysteroids for one month became stronger and their grip strength also increased.
Previous studies have shown that spinach, which is rich in vitamins C, A, and K, helps slow down the digestion of fat, so that the body does not feel hungry for a long time, thus playing a role in weight loss. In addition, studies have shown that spinach can also refresh your mind.
