Green Is Gold

Created by Veronica Holec

Green foods cultivate healing! They’re full of antioxidants that protect the body from environmental pollutant and help the immune system fight against bacteria and viruses, keeping illness at bay.

One of the best ways to incorporate greens into your daily diet this summer is through smoothie bowls. Fresh greens are also an ideal additive to any smoothie bowl but if you want to really intensify the nutritional content one cannot go past the benefits of green barley grass. It is one of the finest natural blood builders, full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes & amino acids. Green barley grass also has an impressive antioxidant content, protecting against radical scavengers that help prevent a wide array of chronic diseases caused by oxidative stress. Regular consumption also provides the required nutrition which is necessary for balancing the optimal production of healthy immune cells in the body. This contributes to a strong immune system vigilantly fights infections and prevents the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. Green barley grass is also known to stimulate the regeneration of cells thus reducing the signs of ageing. Vital components such as chlorophyll have a renewing effect on the body reducing the signs of ageing by rejuvenating cells, helping to maintain healthy and youthful skin.
