Young) and leafy greens and the anthropological reasons for its value to the human body recently publicized by Victoria Boutenko (but known for centuries).<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>We know that leafy greens are the most alkaline and chlorophyll rich foods in existence.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>We also know that our closest relative, the chimp (who share 99.4% of their genes with humans), naturally eats a raw diet of 50% whole fruit, 40-45% leafy greens and 5% bark, pith and insects.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>There are no whole grains, pastas, soy cheeses or fruit juices in their diet.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>That\u2019s basically half their food from leafy greens!<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>They also chew their food until it is a liquid, ensuring that the cellular walls of the food are broken down for proper absorption in the small intestine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">I will write more on this topic in the future, but for now I wanted to suggest to you that eating more leafy greens could have a dramatic effect on your health and vitality.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>As a reality check, let me give you a quick and easy (and tasty!) recipe that you can use to try this out for at least 10 days (although a month is best) and see if it makes a difference for you.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>Have it for breakfast and before lunch (one batch will do for both meals).<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>All you need is a blender (a VitaMix is best).<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>I actually have two recipes \u2013 one for those of you that are more accustomed to a raw diet without a lot of high-sugar fruits and one for those that are not.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>Please use all organic, washed veggies wherever possible.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Green Monster Shake: Place 1 English Cucumber, \u00bd Green Pepper, 2 huge handfuls of Spinach, 2 Tbsp Flax or Hemp Seed or Udo\u2019s Blend Oil, 1 Lemon with the skin left on (scrub it well), and 1 ripe Avocado and blend until very smooth.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>You will need to add some water to get the consistency you desire.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>Add some ice cubes at the end to cool it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Victoria\u2019s Blends: Take 4 apples, \u00bd lemon juice, 5-7 leaves of kale and 2 cups of water and blend it until it is fully broken down.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>You can add some ice at the end to cool it off if you like.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>It tastes better than most would expect.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>Other combos you can try are peaches and spinach, strawberries, bananas and a bunch of romaine or pears kale and mint.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">I would love to know how it goes if you decide to commit to 10 or 30 days.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span>You won\u2019t be disappointed.<span style=\"yes;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Never be sick again!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"Times New Roman;\">Dave.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my first article, I was torn between a dozen topics.
