Getting Greener: Eating good, feels good!

Eating healthy is not always easy!! many of us fall into the trap of fast food, pre-packaged foods and eating out to save time, when in reality adding salad or making a green smoothie take the same amount of time as waiting in line for a burger. It just takes a little preparation and keeping the supplies you need on hand.

Adding a healthy green drink, shake or smoothie to your healthy lifestyle plan, is a fast, easy and affordable way to make small improvements in your life!! Eating a mostly alkalizing diet creates energy!!!

Here's the science stuff!! This list sure works for me!!!!
The oxygen–carrying ability of green foods is extremely vital for the cell functions of muscles, organs and brain health, the digestion of foods for nutrients, and the prevention of fungal growth in intestinal passages that can produce a condition of candida.

The green color of green foods comes from the phytochemical chlorophyll, which has been shown to have beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood pressure, immune response, cancer prevention, bacteria that cause disease, bad breath and internal odors.
