Eat Your Greens

Mama was right, eating your greens is great for your health!


The power of green plants in healing has been recognized throughout history.  Many indigenous peoples—and all mammals except modern people—live primarily on grasses and green plants in time of disease.

There are many choices of delicious green vegetables in the grocery store.  We eat a lot of Kale, Chard, Broccoli, and Spinach.  These are all high in antioxidants.  Studies show that people who have a diet rich in antioxidants will live longer, healthier and stronger than those with low levels of antioxidants.

In the past thirty years, a number of green-food supplements have become popular including Wuji Chlorella and Premier Greens Mix etc.  These all have one property in common: Chlorophyll, the substance that makes plants appear green.  Actually, all plants, even citrus, contain at least some amount of chlorophyll; the greater the amount of chlorophyll, the greener the plant.  To understand green foods it is important to first grasp the nature of chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll has three major actions. It purifies, it is an anti-inflammatory, and it helps to renew tissues and processes in the body.
