The Power of Green

Increase Leafy Green Vegetables

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:

• blood purification
• cancer prevention
• immune strengthening
• energy
• promotion of healthy intestinal flora
• improved liver, gallbladder, and kidney function
• 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, broccoli rabi, spinach and swiss chard. 

Nourish yourself with greens and watch your energy soar!
