According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 180 grams of spinach contains more than 2 milligrams more iron than a comparably sized serving of hamburger. As a result, it can conceivably help the ill recover their strength.
Spinach contains antioxidants that can help prevent cell damage. These include Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which protects muscles, including those in the cardiovascular system. In addition, spinach contains carotenoids, or substances that can help prevent cancer.
Historically recognized as a medicinal herb, spinach gained popularity in Europe by the Middle Ages and became associated with health due to its iron content, although early claims about its iron richness were exaggerated due to a miscalculation.
