According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, green veggies are associated with renewal, refreshment and vital energy. Of all the greens… Kale is THE KING of dark, leafy greens! Especially around winter and spring when your’ll find kale in it’s most nutrient dense state. This recipes a keeper!

I know kale isn’t many people’s favourite choice however after reading this you may just change your mind.

POLLUTION FIGHTING

High alkaline dark leafy greens help to reduce inflammation, strengthen your blood and respiratory system. This is especially beneficial to people living in suburban areas who are more exposed to polluted areas. The alkaline minerals in our bodies are used to neutralise acidic areas caused by the environment. Eating green vegetables helps to replenish our alkaline mineral stores and continue to filter out pollutants.

KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY

Nutritionally high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, vitamin A, C & K and loaded with fibre, folic acid, chorophyll, micronutrients and phytochemicals, kale can support you from the inside out.

WHAT ABOUT THAT COLOUR?

This powerhouse green leaf also contains a nutrient called lutein, that creates the plant’s colour which helps to keep your eyes and vision healthy. This stuff really does keep the doctor away!

SMALLER FOOTPRINTS

Not forgetting if you buy local kale from your farmers shop, it helps to reduce carbons footprints and will contain a higher protein content, making it a great alternative to meat, which can save in food costs.

ESTABLISH A NEW RELATIONSHIP

Learning to incorporate dark, leafy greens into your diet is essential to establishing a healthy body and immune system. By introducing greens even into ONE of your meals a day will promote a healthy intestinal flora, helps to improve your liver, gall bladder and kidney function.

When you nourish yourself with these, you may naturally crowd out the food which make you sick. Win, win!

Choosing organic is recommended however eating non-organic greens is still preferable to not eating any greens at all!

If kale doesn’t quite do it for you, here’s a bunch more you could choose from…

Watercress
Rocket
Bok Choy
Napa Cabbage
Broccoli Rabe (baby broccoli)

This tasty recipe should get the ball rolling for you…
