Being Green

It isn’t easy being green, but it sure is healthier! Green living, green veggies, and green tea are all knowingly better for us but why should we take advantage of them?
Green living should be adhered for many reasons that some people still can’t see. The chemicals from everyday products that our skin absorbs that cause cancer, or affects our liver, nervous system and the skin itself. How frightening. Using earth friendly biodegradable products is a necessity in today’s day and age. Also, try more natural soaps and grooming products for a healthier lifestyle.
As for the vegetables, you know you have to eat them. It’s not something your mom said just to mess with you. Green veggies provide a multitude of nutrients like calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamin K , and others depending on what green vegetable you are having! The more greens the better! Our bodies need the enzymes and roughage in fruits and vegetables to help digest our foods. Introduce them into your diet slowly if you don’t have them now. Your body will thank you.
As for green tea, that is an amazing antioxidant, fat burner, and nerve calming agent all rolled into one. And I don’t mean the green tea drinks filled with everything else like sugar, etc. I mean a cup or glass of green tea, without a lot of artificial stuff added in for flavor. Drinking 3 cups a day ( or 3 cold glasses) will raise your metabolism, calm your nerves with the amino acid L-Theanine, and it’s high antioxidant levels will help neutralize the free radicals in your body! What a great drink! It helps with so many things! So the next time you are thinking of how to help yourself with great beneficial nutrients, please consider the green tea. It is a main ingredient in many skin care products, as those antioxidants can help fight skin cancer even when applied with topical products like soap or lotions. It’s amazing stuff! So brew a cup, or add a bit of honey or stevia to a container of warm tea and chill it for a cool drink, and try a natural skin product that may have that as an ingredient, and you are doing your body a favor.
It may not be easy being green in the beginning, but when you make it the norm, you’ll wonder why you ever chose any other way!
Be happy and healthy!
