THE MAGIC of GREENS

Few would argue the importance of including greens in their diet, but many may not understand the wide range of benefits from doing so. Below are just three of the main benefits you can experience from incorporating greens into your diet.

Greens are superfoods. What does this mean to you? It means that the wide array of nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin C and the full spectrum of B vitamins, are absorbed by your body as food and are able to be fully utilized. They also contain other important phytonutrients and are a great source of fiber. Your body feels more alive and vibrant when it is supplied with these natural nutrients.
Greens are potent antioxidants. I’m sure by now you have heard of the dangers of free radicals – free oxygen molecules that have become toxic and cause damage to DNA and cells. They are also thought to be a major factor in the aging process. Antioxidants combat the negative effects of free radicals by binding eliminating them from our bodies.
Greens help to keep the body alkaline. Research has shown that when the body is ill or imbalanced one’s pH becomes acidic. Certain common foods, such as fried foods and coffee, exacerbate this condition leaving the body in a weakened state susceptible to disease. Greens are the simplest and most effective way of returning your body to an alkaline state.

Due to our hectic lifestyles it is often difficult to eat sufficient amounts of greens to achieve all of the above benefits. In addition to this, the sad fact is that the soil has become depleted causing our foods to be less nutrient rich than in times past. Even organically grown produce - which is by far much safer, tastier and healthier than conventionally grown produce- no longer contains the levels of vitamins and minerals as before.
