Greens are nature’s scrub brushes; they help clear out toxins, loosen mucus and cleanse the blood and respiratory systems. They are one of the most important foods we can eat for good health. Leafy greens are low in calories and carbohydrates, yet extremely high in nutrients: they contain noteworthy amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as folic acid, and fiber.
