Just like how Popeye loves spinach, Spinach gives us strength, allowing us to have a strong body and mind to hold our spirit up.

In Ayurveda, spinach is considered a "prakriti" or nature-based food that nourishes the body and balances the doshas, leading to a sense of inner balance and vitality. 

Spinach teaches that whatever comes to you is for your highest good while the beauty is in how you handle it.
