11- Reduce Bone Fracture Risk
New research has also revealed that it can help reduce the risk of bone fractures. The study found that individuals with higher dietary intakes of kale had lower rates of hip fracture compared to those who did not eat this leafy green.
The study followed more than 45,000 people for over twenty-six years, and during this time, 1400 hip fractures were reported within the group. Those who ate at least one portion of kale per week experienced an 18 percent reduction in their risk for a hip fracture due to osteoporosis as well as other causes. (5)
