Dark green leafy vegetables are the foods most missing in modern diets. Greens help strengthen the blood and respiratory systems.
Some of the benefits of eating dark leafy greens include: purifying your blood, preventing cancer and improving circulation, liver, gall bladder and kidney function.
The most fascinating fact is how eating your greens and other vegetables with extra virgin Olive Oil actually boosts these benefits.
Pairing leafy greens with extra virgin Olive Oil in a salad can lower your blood pressure.
Cook or roast kale, carrots and peppers with olive oil so that your body can better absorb the goodness in these vegetables. Boiling these veggies leaches the nutritional components away in the cooking water.
No wonder many ISRAELI SALADS are made with grilled vegetables and a generous helping of deliciously rich EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.
Here are some great recipes to try.
