Healthy Blood

Swiss chard is high in iron, which is essential for maintaining the health of the circulatory system and the prevention of anemia. The vitamin K it contains promotes healthy blood clotting and prevents excessive bruising and bleeding. Those with a green thumb may also want to grow their own Swiss chard, red chard, or rainbow chard (seeds can be purchased hassle free through Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk). And, don t worry if you don t have a garden you can also grow Swiss chard indoors as baby greens or microgreens, any time of year.
