5 Benefits of Super Green Foods

Eat Your Veggies – the three words that most children hate to hear. Mother always meant well though. She was concerned for your health and wellbeing, and wanted you to fill up with vitamins. She wanted to have a strong, fortified child, but soggy brussle sprouts and steamed broccoli could turn the noses of even the most obedient kids.

Lucky for new mother’s that they now have other options: Super Green Foods.

Super green foods are derived from young cereal grasses, such as wheatgrass, barley, or alfalfa. They also come from different algae’s like Spirulina, or Dulse. And while these super greens aren’t a free ticket to stop eating your veggies, they are a great supplement with amazing health benefits.

Super greens are rich in antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins. Spirulina, for example, contains all the essential amino-acids, and is rich in protein and fatty-acids.

So, why go Green? Because eating super-green food has a list of health benefits that goes way beyond everyday vegetable consumption. Greens can help by:

1- Helping the alkaline balance in your blood by neutralizing acidity.

2- Increasing energy levels by assisting oxygen travel in your blood.

3- Increasing cardiovascular health.

4- Offering antioxidants to help fight illness, and;

5- Boosting the immune system.

Super-Greens come in several different forms. Most commonly they come in powder or pills, though now they are available in liquids as well. They’re not something that can be put beside potatoes on a plate, but are easily dropped into any drink or smoothie. Some even taste good. So listen to the wise words of thousands of mother’s and ‘Eat your veggies,’ one way or another.
