Take Dr. Berg's Advanced Evaluation Quiz: bit.ly/EvalQuiz
In this video, Dr. Berg talks about the health benefits of spinach.
It's rich in iron, magnesium, vitamins K and C, and folic acid, B2, and B6. It supports the eyes preventing macular degeneration and is good for inflammation.
However, spinach has oxalates, which can cause kidney stones.
You can steam your spinach, you can add lemon juice, potassium citrate, and adding calcium (which binds with oxalates in the digestive system). But make sure spinach is organic to prevent chemicals.
However, the health benefits of spinach are huge.

In my village, people make ‘saag’ by cooking spinach completely, and they eat it almost every alternate day in winters, and they’re the healthiest people I’ve ever known. Also, bcs it’s a traditional dish made by our ancestors, somehow I believe they knew more than us about nutrition since they fell sick less often and lived long, healthier lives! May be we’ll discover the secret in future!

yes, chocolate cravings may be due to lack of magnisium but the cocoa is super good for us, google it, the big problem with chocolate is added sugar, especially in milk chocolate. I eat dark chocolate, about 75 to 80 percent cocoa, super delicious, no health problem at all with that, it is so delicious with nuts, any nuts, my favorites might be hazel nuts but i do eat a wide variety of nuts, i try to choose nuts with lower carbs. I am diabetic type two and had no problems with this plus stopped my Metformin and Insulin the day i started IF, my fasting sugars are now about 6.0 ( UK ) and after eating it seems to stay fairly low too but i really don't eat many carbs, replaced grain bread with doctor bergs nutty bread recipe and found special but delicious noodles, here in china, with zero carbs and replaced potatoes with turnips and rutabaga for delicious, much like potato, it really tastes the same to me, love them grilled. Diabetes has gone away as a problem for me, plus related problems like painful feet, the feet took three weeks and i have lost loads of weights, will try to find the name of the noodles and add that here by tomorrow

Just a note on the Indian way of cooking spinach that you are referring to. Spinach varieties that grow in India are a lot more bitter and fibrous than the American variety so they need to be cooked for longer to be edible. They are generally a darker green too so that may be why it looks overcooked.

In the summer I can often find lambs quarters, a "noxious weed". . I mention this because its a wild relative of spinach that has about 3 times the nutritional content making spinach look more like iceberg lettuce. Steaming for about 1 minute turns it from a less than spectacular fresh green to a luxurious cooked green, better than you can buy anyway. So I am quite sure the steaming does something to this wild herb in the spinach family. I can only imagine it must apply to spinach. Another interesting thing about this herb is that I find it growing around campfires, especially if in a sunny location. Found it near manure as well which is impressive given its acidic. So high nitrogen also seems to like. It seems to hate the forest floor as I never find it there. After putting wood ash in a bucket and finding this weed growing, and only this weed , I was impressed that it could grow at all growing almost in a bucket of lye. They were not thriving but boy was I impressed at it tolerance for high PH. That high PH BTW in the form of wood ash means the presence of minerals. So its no shock its so rich in nutrients. ..and yes it is high in Oxalates , higher than spinach so.... I have also fermented this weed to good success like one would do with grape leaves in Greek cuisine. So if I were to suggest a little wood ash for gardeners apt to grow spinach, especially in acid soils I would also agree that cooking it a bit seems in the case of the wild variety to do something to its palatability. However I find spinach annoying for its tendency to bolt. So now I just get the lambs quarters which is available for months in the summer by taking the tops of older plants.

The stone disintegrated into a bloody sediment in the bladder thankfully which then allowed it to pass out easily. The second one was smaller (about 2mm) and I felt it pass through the ureter in about a minute or so. I still eat spinach occasionally but will take on board Dr Berg's advice here.

Somewhat anemic, inflammation, low amount of meat in my diet these days, so I crave spinach. Typical breakfast for me: spinach salad, vinegar dressing, citrus (grapefruit, lemon, lime, or orange), often with nuts or granola cereal in the salad; then a couple apples or pear, chocolate, black tea.

Oh my gosh! I love spinach and crave it! I love it steamed with butter!! Yum!! I also love it in juicing with Kale and lots of beets!! It’s the best!! After I drink my spinach, kale, beet juice I feel soooo good!! Such a feeling of authentic energy and well being!! It’s unreal!!

Correct. A lot of plants contain chemicals that are intended to paralyze an insect. Like Beans for example. If you eat beans raw you can die. But they're a wonderful food for humans full of benefits when you cook them. The invention of fire allowed to eat a much wider variety of plant foods. Foods that our body cannot break down or assimilate the nutrients from unless we heat or cook them to break down the tough plant cell walls unlocking the nutrients. I dont see why this would be any different for some greens like spinach. Traditionally greens were added to soups. The people knew what to do with it.

I love spinach and also chickory leaves. I sautay an onion in olive oil and some butter add tiny bit of garlic paste. Then i add the spinach let it wilt and combine season with salt and pepper and squeeze some lemon over it before eating. Tye vitamin c helps your body absorb the iron in the spinach.

I was 19 years old (a year ago) when i had a CT scan done & found that i had a 5.0mm kidney stone lodged in my kidney. My hollistic doctor told me that i shouldn’t have fully formed kidney stones while being so young, so he believed that i must have an oxalate sensitivity. So for the past year i’ve cut out high oxalate foods and restricted myself to a low oxalate diet, while also taking a Kidney Cleanse supplement he suggested (from Sunergetics) would help not only to keep new stones from forming but also would help to dissolve the stone. After a year i took another CT scan (for other reasons) and found that compared to last year, my kidney stone had been reduced to 4.1mm from 5.0mm. Jesus Christ, almost one full mm!!! All my Kaiser doctors kept telling me “kidney stones don’t dissolve they only get bigger,” yeah well tell that to my compared CT scans HAHA!!!

Excellent. I know there are Homeopathic medicines that dissolve stones as well, but those arent really popular in the west, in fact, looked down upon.

No problems with kidney stones. Only gallbladder stones. Spinach is in our backyard garden with parsley, basil, and mixed lettuce varieties. We make green juice with those that we add Granny Smith apples, lemon, apple cider vinegar, cucumber, celery, carrots and usually fresh pineapple but sometimes blueberries. We always feel energetic after having green juice.

I can't stand cooked spinach though. Ugh! It's so nasty. And the cooked kind of spinach can be poisonous for children. There is something in it that most kids can't break down. I can't remember what it is though. Bummer. It is something to research though.
