Why eating green leafy vegetables is important?

1/23/2019

When I first started eating clean I was astounded by how many green leafy vegetables I needed to eat for optimal health.  The reality is that most Americans are undernourished - even if overweight. In the jolieLife foods you will eat 6-8 cups of green leafy vegetables a day.  

Why?
Green leafy vegetables feed your gut biome. Maintaining a healthy gut requires you feed the good organisms that live there - they eat compounds found in green leafy vegetables.  A healthy gut improves your nutrient absorption and restricts antigens and pathogens from crossing through the gut into the blood where they wreck havoc on a healthy immune system.

They help you hydrate from the inside out.  Greens are mostly water which can slowly be absorbed into the body as the greens are broken down.

Antioxidants galore.  If you want glowing, clear, healthy skin you have to eat your greens - lots of them.  If dry, aging skin with lots of fine lines is your thing, pass on the salad. Greens make more of an impact on your skin than any serum, cream, or facial.  Spend the money on your vegetables - the dividends go deeper than a $400 facial.

What you feed yourself impacts the development of Alzheimer’s and cancer more than your genes.  Green leafy vegetables contain many neuron and cell protective bioactive compounds. Read Anticancer or Ending Alzheimer’s to know just how important green leafy vegetables are.

Try a week of jolieLife meals. Go to the Super Food tab.  It will teach you what you need to be eating and will amaze you how great you feel.

with love + light,
​Julia
