Greens glorious greens!!

Green vegetables are the foods most missing in modern diets. Learning to cook and eat greens is essential to creating health. When you nourish yourself with greens, you will naturally crowd out the foods that make you sick. Greens help build your internal rain forest and strengthen the blood and respiratory systems. They are especially good for city people who rarely see fields of green in open countryside. Green is associated with spring, the time of renewal, refreshment and vital energy. In Asian medicine, green is related to the liver, emotional stability and creativity.

Some of the benefits from eating dark leafy greens are:

Blood Purification

Cancer prevention

Improved circulation

Strengthened immune system

Promotion of healthy intestinal flora

Promotion of subtle, light and flexible energy

Lifted spirit and elimination of depression

Improved liver, gall bladder and kidney function

Cleared congestion, especially in lungs, by reducing mucus

Here is a great recipe to get in some extra greens

1-2 cups Strawberries

1 Banana

1 cup frozen pineapple

Handful of spinach

Water to consistency desired!

Salt..... Sea salt or Not?

Unrefined salt contains over 80 minerals and helps to regulate the pH of the body. On the other hand, refined salt contains no minerals..... which do you think is better?

I hear the argument of needing the iodine in the refined salt. The studies that I have seen state that our bodies can only absorb 10% of the iodine from the refined salt. You can get iodine from sea vegetables or by supplements.
So, my choice? sea salt!
