"Greens are the No. 1 food you can eat regularly to help improve your health," says many nutritionists and RD's. That's because leafy vegetables are brimming with fiber along with vitamins, minerals, and plant-based substances that may help protect you from heart disease,diabetes, and perhaps even cancer. Even so, Americans are not eating as many vegetables each day as dietary experts recommend.
Drink Your Green Smoothies
Not many people these days likes to eat a big bowl of leafy greens. I do love a nice big salad but many days i am on the run so i drink my greens! I get my greens from delicious vegetable and fruit smoothies. I drink my spinach, kale, chard and dandelion greens while savoring the flavors of pineapple, mango, pear and berries!
How Much Green Should You Eat?
The food pyramid suggests a minimum of 3 servings of leafy greens per week. Most people fall short of this recommendation. Most health experts agree that the amount of leafy greens that we should consume is likely much higher than just 3 servings per week! If you have cancer, leafy greens should be consumed daily! Several times per day.
I eat about 4-6 servings per day (that’s about two small bunches or “heads”), mostly in green smoothies.
