  • Spinach has been demonstrated to reverse the pathological features of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction.
    Having too much sugar in the blood for long periods of time can cause serious health problems if it's not treated. Hyperglycemia can damage the vessels that supply blood to vital organs, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems.
    Cooking spinach can help reduce oxalate levels for those who have kidney issues, assimilating spinach. Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many foods, including spinach, that can contribute to the formation of kidney stones in some people. The majority of the population will not have a hard time digesting spinach. Cooking spinach can help break down some of the oxalates, making them less likely to be absorbed by the body. However, it's important to note that boiling spinach can lead to some loss of water-soluble vitamins, so it's best to cook spinach in a way that retains as many nutrients as possible, such as steaming or sautéing.
    The average healthy dosage of spinach can vary depending on individual factors such as age, gender, overall diet, and any underlying health conditions. In general, consuming 1-2 cups of cooked spinach per day is considered safe for most people and provides a good source of essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium.
    To help reduce the impact of oxalates, it's also recommended to pair spinach with foods high in calcium, such as dairy products or calcium-fortified foods, as calcium can help bind to oxalates in the digestive tract and reduce their absorption.

      but spinach seems to have the highest of any foods, like waay high half a cup cooked 755 mg while raw 655mg per cup. compare to kale which has 2mg per half cup then you begin to appreciate how high spinach is in oxalates.
      the oxalates in spinach bind to minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium etc making them unavailable to the body doctor. .the spinach in your gut still has oxalates which binds to nutrients from other foods preventing them from absorption. cooking spinach degrades beneficial nutrients like vitamins A b and C. SO is it really a Superfood worth eating? especially in the long term with oxalate build-up in the system?
      Also doctor why are you writing this in a comment and not include this valuable info about oxalates in the main video. doesnt this constitute MISINFORMATION? how many people read the comments section?

      ​@@cyang7850 this is a good option but does not remove all oxalates. which is still a problem for people with kidney issues or those already with high build-up of oxalates in their system from spinach and other foods which they dont know about. best advice for them is to not eat it full stop. It would be nice if the good doctor mentioned these caveats in the video touting spinach as a superfood instead of mentioning in a comment afterwards. This amounts to misinformation and bad advice. how many people read the comments? you have to ask yourself why he did this? i personally dont trust this man no longer for doing that. i suppose clicks and profits matter more to him

      Best wishes, I was able to drop my cholesterol 100 points by having oatmeal daily, watching diet somewhat, and walking. Consistency is crucial. Make a plan and stick to it, it will help! ♥️

      @@donaldstanfield8862 I've been eating it for three months now, going for new bloodwork next week, keeping my fingers crossed. Unfortunately, I did not realize until recently that's one of the worst things a prediabetic can eat because of the carb content, so I may have screwed the pooch by doing this. Geez, I feel like I can't make any right decisions!

    Thank You Dr. Mandell - that's interesting but--- which is the clinical study or metanalysis concerning these spinach claims, please? There are no references under the description.
