This classic guide to green nutrition will appeal to anyone who wishes
to develop a healthy diet without making sacrifices to taste or
lifestyle
Everyone knows they need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but
consuming the minimum FDA-recommended five servings a day can be
challenging. In Green For Life, raw foods pioneer Victoria Boutenko
reveals an easy way to get the nutrients and minerals you need, in the
amount you need: greens and green smoothies. This quick, simple drink
eliminates toxins and corrects nutritional deficiencies--benefiting
everyone, regardless of lifestyle, diet, or environment. And they're
delicious.
Green for Life includes the latest information on the abundance of
protein in greens, the benefits of fiber, the role of greens in
homeostasis, the significance of stomach acid, how greens make the body
more alkaline, and more. Also included are easy-to-follow recipes with
nutritional data, inspiring testimonials, and research on how adding
just one quart of green smoothies to your daily intake can make a world
of difference.
This updated edition also provides important new research on the role
that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play in metabolic health. Offering
more in-depth nutritional and experiential information than Boutenko's
Green Smoothie Revolution, Green for Life makes an ideal companion
piece to its recipe-rich successor.
