Bok Choy, Anyone?

Folate is an essential nutrient which helps promote fertility in both men and women and is a very important nutrient in pregnancy to promote healthy cells and prevent birth defects. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, and studies show that vitamin C enhances sperm quality, protecting sperm and the DNA within it from damage. One study has shown that women taking the drug clomiphene to stimulate ovulation will have a better chance of ovulating if vitamin C is taken alongside the drug. Clomiphene does not always work in every woman, but the chances are often increased when vitamin C is supplemented.
Looking fir ways to add more vitamin C and folate into your diet without popping another pill? Try bok choy.
Barry Sears, MD, creator of the Zone Diet and author of The Top 100 Zone Foods, says that bok choy is the healthiest of all cabbages, which says a lot because cabbage is so incredibly healthy.

Bok Choy has long been a staple in Asian cuisine, and has been making it's way into mainstream America. Bok Choy is a member of the brassica family, a genus of plants known as mustards or cabbage. It is rich in folate, Vitamin C, beta-carotene (1 cup contains nearly the entire RDA), calcium (1 cup contains approximately the same as 1/2 cup milk) and potassium. It also contains nitrogen known as indoles, which are phytochemicals that are said to prevent breast cancer.
