Start your own green tradition. Get a good supply of vitamins, minerals, water and antioxidants daily. Here are some green ideas:
1. Increase fiber with broccoli.
2. Vary your leafy greens ? the darker the better.
3. Choose vitamin K for increased bone health ? good source of this found in greens.
4. Improve cholesterol with avocado - contain good monounsaturated fats & vitamin E.
5. Alternate oranges with kiwifruit - contains more C than oranges and lots of fiber.
6. Snack on green apples - contain more fiber to aid digestion & heart health.
7. Drink tea - green tea - has the most antioxidants and flavonoids for heart health.
Raw or cooked ? this is a good time to get greens in your diet. Not as exciting as eating pub burgers and fries? Hey, you can always meet your friends for a guilt-free St Paddy's cocktail, knowing you've eaten a healthy meal at home first!
