Most American diets are lacking in leafy green vegetables. Greens strengthen our circulatory and respiratory systems. Greens are high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, and vitamins A,C, E, and K. They are also full of fiber, folic acid, and chlorophyll.
Some of the benefits of eating greens are:
1. blood purification
2. cancer prevention
3. immune strengthening
4. energy
5. promotion of healthy intestinal flora
6. improved liver, gall bladder, and kidney function
7. reduced congestion in the lungs
Broccoli is popular, but be adventurous and try other greens as well. Try bok choy, napa cabbage, kale, collards, watercress, mustard greens, spinach, and swiss chard.
Add more greens and watch your energy soar!
