"Going Green" has become a catchword, but this book explains how important green foods are to our overall health. It is a wonderful guide to creating smoothies for your elimination and/or you heart. It includes smoothies for kids and for supporting every body system.
Excerpt
We know that chlorophyll is the blood of the plant. In fact, chlorophyll (green in leaves and stems) is almost the same as a molecule of human blood, so taking in more chlorophyll will definitely strengthen the blood and the whole body. It just makes sense that the blood of the plant is good for the blood of the body.
When you start your day and/or end your day with a green smoothie, you’ll be providing your body with top quality magnesium and calcium that the body can actually ABSORB. The current myth about dairy (“Milk does a body good.”) being good for us is just that – a myth created by advertising. Today’s ultra-pasteurized milk from chemically raised cows doesn’t even come close to nourishing us with bio-available calcium and magnesium. Dairy congests the flow of lymph out of the body. So it is best to get our calcium and other minerals from our greens, just as the chimps and sheep do. If all of that weren’t enough, green drinks are alkaline, and with increased understanding of the body’s need for alkaline minerals to maintain pH, green drinks are the obvious choice for daily consumption.
