Explained in plain English

What are 'dark leafy greens'?

Dark leafy greens are vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli. They're nutritional powerhouses, packed with vitamins (like K, A, and C), minerals (like calcium and iron), and fibre. For older adults, they're especially beneficial for bone health, vision, and reducing inflammation, supporting overall well-being as part of a balanced diet.
