Green vegetables - A green approach to good health
No other food provides as much nutritional punch as dark greens. Eating plenty of dark green vegetables is the single best principle to follow for optimal health.
Though it’s a great idea and is always good to eat plenty of raw vegetables, it’s also an excellent idea to eat some cooked greens. Commonly available dark greens include broccoli, kale, chard and spinach. The preferred cooking method is steaming vegetables, which causes minimal loss of nutrients. Cooking helps in softening the fiber in greens, thereby making it easier for your body to access the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found within.
After eating your greens every day you will notice a significant lift in energy. Another way to fully extract all of the nutrients is to drink freshly pressed or blended green vegetable juices. This will provide you with a number of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients right into your bloodstream.
