Kale is very nutritious and should be incorporated into your daily routine when it is in season. According to Fruits and Veggies More Matters, kale is an excellent source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Since flu season is already surfacing across the country, the more Vitamin C you can get the better off you will be! Vitamin C is also critical to managing seasonal allergies.
According to a 2018 study on vitamin C in the treatment of allergies, oxidative stress plays a key role in allergic diseases. As vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it may act as a treatment for allergies. Another study from 2000 suggests taking 2 grams (g) of vitamin C daily to act as an antihistamine.
