Ask yourself one question: Did I eat anything green today?

I’m guilty of going an entire day without eating one single green thing, not even a Gummy Bear. Why is this a not-so-good thing? Because “Greens are the No. 1 food you can eat regularly to help improve your health” according to Jill Nuddinow, MS, RD. Not only do greens have an incredible source of fiber and nutrients, they’re protectors of the heart and diseases such as diabetes.

As a cancer survivor I can attest to the benefits of eating greens, not because they may or may not prevent a relapse of remission, but because they just make me feel good. The following usually transpires after a consuming greens:

1. Happiness
2. Regularity (female cycle)
3. A natural glow about my face and skin

Let me what you think about greens. How do you cook them, how often do you eat them and what’s your favorite> Inquiring minds want to know.
