Adding green leafy vegetables to your breakfast, lunch or dinner can help improve your diet and offer a great way to alkalize and balance most meals. Plus, their high fiber content sweeps out the entire digestive tract as they move through the stomach and colon.

This helps to provide regular bowel movements, moving undigested wastes and toxins out of the body. Most greens are cooling to the system, sooth inflammation and assist in the detoxification of heavy metals, plastics and chemicals present in the body and bloodstream.

Greens, like kale, collard, cilantro and spinach, are essentially balancing foods, helping to achieve healthier pH levels that guard against candida or parasites that thrive in acidic environments.

Dark leafy greens help to counteract the negative effects of heavier foods, acidic foods and sweet foods. They combined well with nuts and seeds, which tend to be more acidic.

Kale is considered the "queen of greens." There are many varieties of kale availabe. Our favorite, by far, is "dino kale" for it's super dark green color and softer texture. One way to eat kale "raw" is marinated in a raw kale salad for a delicious nutritious meal.

Some people can be sensitive to eating it uncooked, but usually marinating or blending helps to break it down and makes it easier to digest. The other option is to lightly steam it (just enough that it still retains a bright green color).

Kale is an especially beneficial source of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium. It is also a rich source of the antioxidant vitamin K.
