Green Drinks Are Rich in Vitamins
Dr. Robert Young
We’ll revisit this idea of green drinks building blood, but let’s now consider a few of the multitude of traditionally evaluated vitamins and minerals that are richly found in greens? Here’s what the vegetarian-nutrition.info website says: 
“Leafy vegetables are ideal for weight management as they are typically low in calories. They are useful inreducing the risk of cancer and heart disease since they are low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and rich in folic acid, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, as well as containing a host of phytochemicals, such as lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene. One study showed that an increment of one daily serving of green leafy vegetables, lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 11 percent. In the Adventist health study, the frequent consumption of green salads by African-Americans was associated with a substantially lower risk of mortality.
“Because of their high magnesium content and low glycemic index, green leafy vegetablesare also valuable for persons with type 2 diabetes. An increase of 1
serving per day of green leafy vegetables was associated with a 9 percent lower risk of diabetes. The high level of vitamin K in greens makes them important for the production of osteocalcin, a protein essential for bone health. The risk of hip fracture in middle-aged women was decreased 45% for one or more servings/day of green, leafy vegetables compared to fewer servings.Green vegetables are also a major source of iron and calcium for any diet. . .”
Obviously there is a litany of beneficial elements in these super green foods that get too often ignored. But also, remember that another important consideration, in fact quite possibly the most important consideration is that the green foods that make up our great tasting green drink supplement are electron rich, making them alkaline and very alkalizing for the body.
