Green Lemonade is all about simple, healthy and flexible tips on how to cleanse your body from the inside out. It’s about discovering how to rid yourself of the “unwanted” without sacrificing, starving or selling your soul.
Swap out iceberg lettuce for nutrient rich greens
Next time you hit the salad bar, augment that iceberg lettuce you love with nutrient rich baby spinach, a few leaves of kale and some mesclun greens. Darker leafy green leaves are loaded with awesome for you goodies including:
- Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a detox agent. It removes heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.
- Fiber. The fiber in dark leafy greens does an excellent job binding together with gunk and toxins in your digestive tract. This is great for supporting and maintaining a sleek (cellulite-free) physique.
- A healthy alkalizing effect. Disease cannot thrive in an alkaline body. Eating chlorophyll-rich leafy greens is one of the best things you can do to lower acidity and balance the pH in your body.
- Nutrient density. Dark leafy greens are full of nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that help your body to stay vibrant and youthful.
