It is widely known that healthy eating has a significant impact on human health. What we put in our bowls and our bodies can significantly contribute to our health. The food we eat can notably manipulate our intestinal health, hormones, and even brain functions. When we are talking about healthy eating, the green vegetables are placed at the top of the list. They are low in calories but have a lot of vitamins and minerals that are needed for the normal functioning of the body. These include iron, folic acid, magnesium, amino acids, adjuvants, omega three fatty acids, and more. The calcium that comes from the green vegetables is essential for the regulation of the arterial pressure and the strength of the bones. Also, the magnesium and potassium, together with the calcium, maintain the balance of fluids in the body. If you want to improve your immunity, this group of vegetables should constitute the basis of your diet. Take a look at our list of green vegetables, incorporate them into your daily diet, and you will be vital and healthy. However! If you have certain medical conditions, some of these foods should be avoided; feel free to contact me if you have any questions or ask your doctors and nutritionist what foods are best for you!

It can be combined with many dishes, but it is excellent as a salad. However, caution to those of you with colon problems such as IBS or Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Cabbage and other gas-producing foods can make your symptoms worse. SPINACH Green Vegetables is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, dietary nitrates. Why are nitrates essential? A study found that nitrates from spinach can improve cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and arterial stiffness. It also contains vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting and healthy bones. If you are on blood thinners like warfarin, try to get the same amount of vitamin K every day; it’s critical. BROCCOLI is a remarkably healing vegetable. Numerous studies have shown that the sulforaphane found in broccoli stimulates the protein synthesis that fights against the cancer cells. It is also full of antioxidants and other vitamins such as Vitamin E, C, and K. CUCUMBERS Cucumber juice helps to regulate blood sugar.

Cucumber is a vegetable that’s 95% water, but it’s also rich in minerals, natural salt, enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is widely known that healthy eating has a significant impact on human health. The fibers overcome the feeling of hunger and can help with symptoms of constipation.

The greenest smoothie ever Ingredients: 3 leaves green salad Eight leaves spinach One cucumber a little bit of parsley One spring onion juice from 3 lemons a pinch of salt One teaspoon sesame seeds Preparation: You add all of the ingredients in a blender and add water until you reach the limit of 2L graved on the container of the mixer. After that, you mix everything and get the healthiest smoothie possible. Usually, if it is too thick for your taste, you can add more water. Zucchini Breakfast Ingredients: Three pieces zucchini olive oil Salt Preparation: This is the easiest and healthiest breakfast recipe. All you need to do is wash the zucchini and cut it on circles. Put olive oil in a pan and fry the cut zucchini. You can also combine it with eggs and cheese. I sometimes even put the zucchini in the oven to roast them a bit without the frying component. DELICIOUS! Broccoli Salad Ingredients: One broccoli (medium size, around 500 gr.) 2-3 cloves garlic One teaspoon salt olive oil vinegar curry (optional) Preparation: In a big pot, boil the water with one teaspoon salt.

After it is cold enough, add olive oil, vinegar, garlic (finely chopped), and curry. Serve. I usually eat my broccoli raw! I love its crunchiness.
