Green vegetables will provide health and vitality!

Lettuce! It lowers blood sugar and bad cholesterol. What's more, it also improves the digestive system. It cleanses the body of toxins, and its beautiful leaves work like a broomstick in this case. It is rich in phosphorus and calcium, a little less in iron and magnesium. It contains a lot of vitamins: A, B1 and B2 and C and E.

Spinach will provide the iron and folic acid we so need. It regulates the accumulation of fat in the body and contains very few calories. Scientists from Rutgers University prove that the ingredients contained in spinach can increase the growth of muscle tissue by up to 1/5. It also helps in the treatment of hypertension and pancreatic diseases. However, it works best in the fight against anaemia when it is not cooked.

On the other hand, no slimming or even cleansing diet can do without celery. This vegetable is not only low in calories, but it also handles toxins in the body very well.

It stimulates the metabolism and removes harmful products of this process, i.e. uric acid. Stick celery has a very positive effect on the immune system, because it contains vitamins A, C, E, B1 and B2. It also has such nutrients as: calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. What is more, in its stem there is a chemical compound called pthalide, which has calming properties.

Another healthy green vegetable is broccoli, which is known for its anticancer properties. They contain sulforaphane, which is a substance that stimulates free radicals in cells, as well as the production of enzymes in the liver that remove carcinogenic compounds.

Broccoli is rich in such vitamins as A, B1 and B2 and C. Moreover, the latter have more than citrus fruit! These vegetables regenerate the immune system, brain and bones. By consuming them we also provide the body with phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron. However, be careful not to cook them for too long, as they lose many valuable properties.
