    Why do we need leafy greens?<\/strong>
    \nLeafy greens are “the broom of the stomach”. They sweep away high blood sugar and sweet cravings, an overly acidic gut, and sweep out constipation. Oh, and they’re really yummy and feel good to eat.<\/p>\n

    Basically, greens promote healthy intestinal flora, improve circulation, liver, gallbladder and kidney function, strengthen our immune system, and purify our blood.<\/p>\n

    How can I add greens to my diet?<\/strong>
    \nYou can add greens into an existing meal. For example, a spinach and kale omelet, or as a side dish or snack, such as kale chips.<\/p>\n

    You can cook your greens at the same time as the rest of your meal, or you can pre-prepare a whole bunch for the week so that you always have some on hand.<\/p>\n

    You can steam, boil (under 1 min), sautee in oil or water, or even pickle your greens. Make sure to eat a variety: Spinach, collards, mustard greens, swiss and rainbow chard, bok choy, cabbage, arugula, endive, dandelion, beet greens, lacinto kale, curly kale, red kale are all delicious.<\/p>\n

    Digestion tip: Some people find that raw greens bloat them. If this is you, try to stick to cooked greens. Even slightly cooked can make a big difference.<\/p>\n
