Vitamin A and vitamin K are two of the prevalent vitamins in spinach and they are known to help regulate blood flow, maintain bone health, preserve cell health and help the cells in the body grow normally.

The beta-carotene and vitamin C in spinach may also help prevent diabetic heart disease by reducing free radicals and preventing the oxidation of cholesterol so it cannot stick to the walls of the blood vessels.

Fresh banana is a rich source of potassium (100 g fruit provides 358 mg potassium).

BANANA: Potassium is an important part of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure, countering negative effects of sodium.
