The levels of Vitamin C and collagen in spinach are perfect for nail health to keep them growing strong ad avoiding those annoying hangnails

　　菠菜中维生素C和胶原蛋白对指甲健康好处完美，可以保持其健康生长，避免令人烦恼的倒刺。

　　当然，事无完美，

　　菠菜也有自己的一些缺点，

　　不过好在人们可以通过一些方法去避免：

　　Spinach contains high amounts of vitamin K1, which can cause blood clotting, and can therefore interfere with any medication that causes blood-thinning.

　　菠菜中含有大量的维生素K1，可能造成血液凝结，因此可能会干扰血液稀释药物的作用。

　　But during WW1, spinach juice was used to reinforce wine, and given to hemorrhaging French soldiers to thicken their blood and improve their situation.

　　但在一战期间，人们将菠菜汁增强的酒给大出血的法国士兵，来帮助他们黏稠血液，改善状况。

　　Oxalates found in spinach can cause kidney stones in those who are sensitive or intolerant of oxalates.

　　菠菜中含有草酸，对于草酸过敏或不耐受的人，可能造成肾结石。

　　Besides, oxalate also prevents your body from absorbing iron.

　　此外，草酸也会妨碍身体吸收铁元素。

　　However, boiling spinach will get rid of most of the oxalic acid, and minimize its negative effect.

　　然而，煮菠菜可以去掉绝大部分草酸，最大化减少其副作用。

　　所以，根据菠菜的特点，

　　营养学家认为菠菜这样吃最好：

　　Unlike most veggies, cooking spinach intensifies the health benefits. Half a cup of cooked spinach will grant you with threefold the nutrition as one cup of raw spinach.

　　和大多数蔬菜不同，做熟菠菜可以强化其健康作用。半杯菠菜可以提供比一杯生菠菜高出三倍的营养。

　　Liquefying fresh spinach is the best way to consume spinach — doing this releases beta-carotene stored in the leaves which enables your body to absorb the nutrients even easier than boiling it.

　　菠菜榨汁是最好的食用方法。这样做，可以释放其叶子中的β-胡萝卜素，和煮菠菜比，能让你的身体更容易吸收营养素。

　　There is a fairly small window in which you can eat your fresh spinach. After the 8th day of it being picked, spinach loses half of its major nutrients when it's refrigerated.

　　新鲜菠菜的食用期比较短。采摘冷藏8天后，菠菜会损失一半的主要营养。
