One of my guides on how I’m doing with my diet… and by diet I simply mean the food I am putting into my mouth… is to ask myself at the end of the day if I had any greens? And how much did I have? This is something I will ask my patients and clients as well. It is a good indicator as to whether or not my body is getting the nutrition it needs to supply every organ function and system in my body. Sorry, the lettuce on a sandwhich doesn’t count and your iceburg salad does’t count either. When you are looking for the healthy stuff reach for the deep greens, it is like getting a really good deal at the mall. They are skin enhancers, cancer fighters, and immune system builders all for the low price of eating a vegetable! The dark greens, like broccoli, kale, collards, and swiss chard are full of vitamins and minerals so get yours today!
