Here is your daily reminder to eat your greens!
Here's why:
Brain protection - studies show that those who eat leafy greens daily have slower rates of cognitive decline.
Gut health - greens help stimulate the growth of cells that can protect your body from gut infections, intolerances and inflammation. The fibre found in greens also fights against bad bacteria and increases good bacteria.
Anti-bloating - opting for vegetables that are rich in water such as cucumber can create a flushing effect and reduce swelling.
Glowing skin - vegetables are packed full of powerful antioxidants that can help protect skin from free radicals such as pollution and sunlight. We also love avocados for their natural oils that help keeps skin hydrated and improves elasticity.
Immunity - leafy greens are an amazing source of fibre, folate, iron, calcium and vitamin C, which are key for building immunity. Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage have also been shown to have cancer-fighting properties.
If you are struggling to eat enough greens daily, we suggest adding a green smoothie to your routine! They're super refreshing and a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables to your diet!
