Popeye was on to Something... Eating Leafy Greens!
Jul 24, 2018
In the book, “The Better Brain Solution” it mentions eating a cup of green leafy vegetables every day will make you (on average) 11 years physiologically younger than someone who doesn’t!
{ did you hear that... someone just shut the front door }
Some leafy greens include: spinach, kale, brussels, swiss chard, etc. Now, I like to sneak spinach/kale into smoothies... toss them into scrambled eggs... serve as a big sass salad with a droopy egg on top. DELICIOUS!!!
Anywho.
Leafy greens are loaded with fiber. vitamin K. folate. potassium. antioxidants. anti-inflammatory props and so much more.
How do you sneak leafy greens into YOUR plate? Need ideas, love. Just ask below👇🏼or drop me an email...
NOTE: one of my superpowers is getting my kids to eat veggies (the other superpower is speaking pig Latin fluently.) ightra?!?
Which brings me to this HEALTH HACK: Aim for at least 1 cup of leafy greens a day!

In case you need footnotes, here you go... um. your cells will be physiologically younger if you eat leafy greens daily... it’s good for heart, brains and bones.
MY TIPS:
- Check the EWG list of the Dirty Dozen - you may want to opt for organic!
- Purchase from a local farm if and when possible!
- Leaves shouldn't be wilted... they should be a vibrant color throughout with no holes/tears or evidence of damage!
- Wash thoroughly to remove all of the dirt off... then dry off!
- We store most of our leafy greens in the fridge... in the crisper!
YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?!?
