Green Leaves & Tops of Plants: It's Where the Nutrients Are.

Taken from Chapter 5 "Why Is It Hard to Love Greens?" of Victoria Boutenko's Green for Life 

Green leaves were never included into our food pyramids as a separate group because humans never looked at them as real food.  Carrot tops have several times more nutrition than the roots, but the opinion that greens are for rabbits, sheep, and cows, has been preventing us from eating carrot tops in our salads.  We routinely throw away the most nutritious part of the carrot plant!  The roots are much more palatable to human taste than the tops because the roots contain significantly more sugar and water.  The tops are bitter from the abundant amount of nutrients in them.

Curcumin Inhibits Alzheimer's Disease

Curcumin is the Indian spice Tumeric.

Dr. Barry Sears says,

NAC is a hydrophobic derivative of amino acid cysteine. It is only this hydrophobic derivative that can cross the blood brain barrier to enter into the brain. Other hydrophobic polyphenols, such as curcumin, can also do this. This is why high dietary intakes of curcumin are related to reduced incidence of Alzheimer's.

Celery

According to Dr. Arthur De Vany, celery raises testosterone levels . . . in men and women.  Men, eat more celery.

Purpose of Exercise?

"Purpose of exercise is to alter your metabolism, not to burn calories.  Pleasure of life is the energy you spend; not trying to restrict your caloric intake or burn up the calories you've taken in.  Afterall, that's just time in the gym; that's not life."  Arthur De Vany

Foods That Rob Strength Versus Foods That Build Strength

Foods That Rob Strength:
1.   Soy
