Why Are Greens So Important?
by Frederick Patenaude
I'd like to answer that question for you because as you will learn in the next days and weeks in this mini-course, you'll learn that one category of food - greens - has the potential
to:
- Help you overcome cravings and addictions of all kinds
- Help you reach your ideal weight
- Help you feel so energetic that you'll literally jump out of bed in the morning!
- Help you prevent and heal dental problems
- Help you prevent and overcome deficiencies of all kinds.
Here's are a few facts about greens vegetables:
- Greens contain more vitamin A than carrots
- Greens contain more vitamin C than oranges
- Greens contain more vitamin E than whole wheat
- Greens contain more vitamin B2 than milk
- Greens contain quality proteins
But there's something more critical.
Greens provide essential alkaline minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are found in insufficient quantities in fruit, nuts and seeds, not to mention other more conventional, acid-forming foods such as bread and meat.
To provide enough minerals in the diet, we need a sufficient quantity of green vegetables.
We need also a good variety of green vegetables -- just Celery and romaine lettuce might not be enough to provide to most people's mineral needs.
*Do you eat enough greens?*
There's another problem... we need to eat greens in such a way that the nutrients can be easily *assimilated* by the body.
Salads are great, but often the tough fiber of greens is not chewed or broken down well enough in order for the nutrients to be well assimilated!
We need to include green vegetables often in our diets in a form that is easily assimilable by the body -- when the nutrients can be extracted from the tough fiber of
vegetables.
We also need to include the richer greens, those that contain the most minerals, more often in our diet.
Green-leaf vegetables are the best source of folic acid and folates - which are of particular importance for pregnant women.
*Other Benefits of Greens*
Greens are rich in potassium, calcium, iron and zinc and also is magnesium. All of these minerals are essential for human health.
But there is so much more than that. In the coming days and weeks, you will learn some startling facts and revolutionary ideas about greens.
Are you prepared for a revolution? A *green* revolution?
You won't believe what will happen to your health once you join us in the green wave.
Yours for the best health,
