Eating fresh leafy green vegetables seems easier to do in the summer for me. I don't know why. Maybe because they are fresh and light, and when it's hot I generally eat lighter. But, even then, I probably don't get enough to reap all the wonderful benefits they provide. 

Studies show that leafy greens reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, lower the risk of cancer,1 reduce the risk of heart disease, lower the risk of bone fractures in middle-aged women, help in stroke recovery and decrease the risk of another stroke.2 

More Greens Please!

☘️  With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, what an appropriate subject!☘️  

Unless we are stuffing a blender FULL of dark leafy greens in a smoothie for breakfast,  plus eating them at lunch and dinner, we are probably not getting enough to reduce our risk of Type 2 Diabetes3 - not to mention all the other benefits. 

If you are already eating a lot of greens, you may not need to worry about adding any. But how much is a lot? One study suggests that an addition of one serving per day of green leafy vegetables is associated with a 9% lower risk of diabetes, but. . . that's on top of the five recommended servings per day - that IS a lot! Furthermore, your body's ability to absorb all the nutritional benefits may not be high enough to make diet alone a sufficient means for getting the health benefits you need.4 Bummer!!

There's no doubt - we need what they offer! Leafy green  vegetables also contain a variety of carotenoids, flavonoids, and many other powerful antioxidants. It's a well-known fact that antioxidants are crucial for good health and have cancer-protective properties. 

Yet, there are many good reasons to feel a little discouraged. Maybe:
  • Adding more greens to your meal plans seems like a daunting task.
  • Your family hates vegetables.
  • You understand that your body may not be able to absorb enough of the nutrients to make it worth the effort.
  • Organic greens are very expensive where you live.
