Green Foods

Did you know you going green is not just a recycling term? 

You can go green from the inside out. If kale doesn’t call to you and broccoli offends your olfactory sense, no worries. You can get the health benefits of green foods in ways that seem more palatable in the form of juices, tablets and powders.

These are today’s versions of the age old spirulina, chlorella and cereal grasses. Why the emphasis on green foods?  Studies show that they have astounding healing properties, impacting cholesterol, blood pressure, immune response, cancer and much more.

Their common denominator is chlorophyll, the phytochemical that gives plants, leaves, and algae their green hue. This super-element is the plant-world equivalent of the hemoglobin in our red blood cells, helping fight off disease.

It also has anti-inflamatory properties that put the body in a state of ease. Chlorophyll has a critical antioxidant function, helping to keep the cells clean. So if you’re looking to “go green” check out some green food products at your local health food store.
