Turn Over a New Leaf

"Eat at least one cup of cooked dark-green leafy veggies or
four cups raw every day - think kale, spinach and chard - to ward
off type 2 diabetes, say U.K. researchers. An analysis of the diets
of more than 200,000 people in six studies found that eating the leaves,
which are high in antioxidants and magnesium, can reduce a healthy person's
risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 14 percent. These greens are delicious
wilted in a pan over low heat with a little olive oil."
