Eating Your Raw Green Vegetables for Great Health

Monday, October 5, 2009 at 10:00AM

Green vegetables are an indispensible part of a truly healthy diet.

It’s unfortunate that most of us don’t eat anywhere near enough of them. To be clear, I’m not just talking about people eating a mainstream western diet. I’m including most vegetarians and vegans as well.

One of the reasons we all seem to pass on the veggies is because we don’t really appreciate how valuable they are to our health. As great as fruit are at providing energy and vitamins, they need some help with the minerals.

Did you know that 95% of your body functions are mineral-dependent? In other words, if you aren’t getting your minerals, there are a ton of problems that can develop.

So it’s a good thing greens are loaded with them — especially alkaline ones.

Green vegetables are our best source of minerals because they’re highly absorbable. Unlike most cooked foods, greens aren’t acid-forming, so they don’t deplete our mineral reserves during the absorption process.

Their nutritional makeup of vegetables is very balanced. It might surprise you to know they even have a bit of fat and protein. Next time you eat some romaine lettuce, try to remember to watch for it. You’ll actually notice the faint oiliness on the leaves.

The protein in greens is only about 1% of the total volume, but it’s very high-quality. It contains all the essential amino acids and is highly absorbable (because of the wealth of alkaline minerals that help in the assimilation process). Best of all, the protein from greens won’t putrefy like the protein in animal products.

Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of green vegetables is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the life-blood of plants and is extremely beneficial to humans as well. Remarkably, chlorophyll is only one molecule away from being identical to human blood. This means when you eat chlorophyll-rich greens, you’re literally providing your body with everything it needs to make healthy blood.

Green vegetables are totally the opposite of the refined foods. Refined sugars, flours and fats have virtually no nutritional value whatsoever and just feed you empty calories. Flipping things around, greens are actually very low in calories but loaded with nutrients. This is great for maintaining a healthy body weight because you don’t have to eat a ton of calories when you get your minerals. Because you’ll get the nutrients your body is calling for, your appetite will be satiated quickly. You can actually get many of the minerals you need while only eating a few hundred calories.

Much like fruit, vegetables are excellent for your digestive system. They’re very rich in good-quality fiber which is gentle and doesn’t irritate the colon. This fiber is essential for brushing the bowels clean and keeping the food moving along smoothly.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you eat plenty of green vegetables! After fruit, they’re the next biggest part of your raw-vegan diet. :^)

It is truth that fresh vegetables are healthy and tasty, but it's hard to exist only on salads only. There are also elements such as vitamin B12, which do not exist in this type of food.

Being a vegetarian I absolutely live on fruits and vegetables but I mostly cook and season my dishes to enjoy my meals. One can't live on raw vegetables for ever.
You can find some recipes on my website www.vegetarian-zone.com

Hey Mike.
I couldn't agree more. Green vegetables is THE food. It is by far the most potent food out there, and it is not eaten nor appreciated by people at all, and here is why:
NO PROMOTION. It is much more profitable to sell canned stuff and other things people nowadays call "food", as it has a more generous expiration date on it, while introducing greens to the shelves must be done only with fresh ones. Other vegetables could stand there for days until bought "thanks" to genetic engineering, but not greens.
Grow you own, or find a farmers market near you. It can literally change your life -
Here you can check out some great information about green vegetables nutrition is the key to health and green vegetables is the key to a great nutrition!
Be healthy!!
thanks for the info Mike. :)
