How Do You Like Your Greens?
Jan 10, 2022
Learning to incorporate dark leafy greens into your diet is essential to establishing a health body and immune system.
Which greens do you love?
There are a variety of greens to choose from. Arugula, endive, chicory, lettuce, mesclun, and wild greens are generally eaten raw, but can be consumed in any creative way you enjoy. Spinach, Swiss chard, and beet greens are best eaten in moderation because they're high in oxalic acid, which inhibits the absorption of calcium.
Rotate a variety of fresh greens in your diet to get the maximum benefits.
Greens have so many amazing benefits which include:
Blood purification
Cancer prevention
Improved circulation
Strengthened immune system
Promotion of light, flexible energy
Improved liver, gall bladder, and kidney function
Less congestion and mucus, especially in lungs
Promotion of healthy intestinal flora
Try a variety of methods for cooking your greens, like steaming, boiling, sauteing in oil, and water sauteing. Boiling helps greens plump and relax. Be sure to boil for under a minute to avoid losing nutrients in the water. Steaming makes greens more fibrous and tight, which helps you feel fuller, longer. This is a great way to curb cravings for those trying to lose weight.
No matter which greens you prefer or how you like to consume them, the important thing is that you do eat them every day for optimum health and energy.
