Words from us…
Wayne’s World
People interested in maintaining serious good health recognize the health
benefits of green foods. Green “superfoods” are superior sources of essential
nutrients, full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, some fiber and
active enzymes. Gram for gram, most green superfoods have more protein than
beef, more beta-carotene than carrots and more iron than spinach! Green foods
have an abundance of chlorophyll which is chemically structured and nearly
identical to human hemoglobin. Green superfoods like chlorella, spirulina,
barley and wheatgrass are almost perfect superfoods whose properties stimulate
immune response, accelerate healing and tissue repair, help prevent degenerative
disease and promote longer life. WOW!! Need I say more about these exceptional
foods for healthy living and healing?! Well okay then, since most humans are
too acidic, green foods help create an alkaline environment in the body.
Secondly, green foods provide oxygen to the cells, and as we now know, a
properly oxygenated body is the best defense against disease. Ask our great
staff for a free CD on green foods by David Sandoval of Pure Planet, for
this CD is exceptionally well-done. Also inquire about green foods available
from LifeTime, Vibrant Health, Amazing Grass, Jarrow,
New Chapter, Garden of
Life , and Nature’s
Way. Remember, some of these manufacturers produce green foods and grasses
that are some of the lowest calorie and most nutrient-rich foods on the planet.
Put them in your nutritional arsenal today. Enjoy your summer by staying
healthy!
Thank you so much for your patronage. Stay Healthy!

Jeff's Positive Vibrations:
Greens, if you know it or not, are one of the
most important nutrients that we need in our diets. We are always reminded to
get 5 to 7 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables, and dark leafy greens are a
part of that recommendation. The reason dark leafy greens and other greens are
so important is the green pigment which is called “chlorophyll”. Chlorophyll
almost matches our own blood, chemically. The only difference is that in the
middle of the structure of chlorophyll is a magnesium molecule and in the middle
of our blood is an iron molecule. Chlorophyll is so healthy for us because it is
a very potent cleanser and detoxifier of our organs and our blood. Supplements
that are called “super foods” include greens that are high in naturally
occurring chlorophyll. Some of these foods are alfalfa, barley grass, chlorella,
blue-green algae, parsley, and wheatgrass, just to name a few. These super foods
are so good for us nutritionally. Alfalfa is one of the highest sources of
minerals you can find in a plant that grows on land.
Emily's Ideas:
Chlorophyll is
the green pigment found in plants.
This pigment is one of the many constituents that make green foods so beneficial
for us to consume. Chlorophyll is
structurally similar to human hemoglobin, which is the part of the red blood
cell that carries oxygen from the lungs to the muscles.
The only difference between these two molecules is that chlorophyll has a
magnesium atom in the center of the molecule where hemoglobin has an iron atom.
Because of this similarity, we can use green foods to literally build our
blood strength. In fact, chlorophyll
has even been used as a substitute for blood transfusions in times of need!!!!
As with most nutrients, it’s best to consume them in a whole food form
rather than isolated. My favorite
green herbs include Alfalfa, Horsetail, Lemon balm, Nettle, Parsley, and
Peppermint.

Speaking Words of Wisdom
Greens are the earth’s
most powerful, complete source of nutrition on the planet. What are greens? Well
the term “greens” is a general term for cereal grasses, some herbs, and algae’s
that are mostly green in color. For example, wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa,
nettles, parsley, chlorella, etc. are all considered greens. “Greens” is a very
loose term that can also apply to different types of salad mixes ranging from
spinach, collard greens, to romaine lettuce and things like green beans, peas,
etc. What do all these greens have in common? Chlorophyll is the green pigment
that you see in any type of green plant life and everything that is green on
earth. What can this do for you? The most important studies prove this powerful
pigment to be one of the best detoxifiers for the body, closely similar to our
very own blood (Hemoglobin). Researched and studied by many universities for
cancer and HIV, this superpower of nature should be on everyone’s table and in
your daily diet. Do you eat a lot of greens? Well most people do not, so you are
not alone, but what you can do is add the cereal grasses, herbs and algae to
your diet. Just one serving of these powdered multi-vitamin and mineral greens
can equal many servings of green salads or green vegetables. Try “5GREENEST” by
Earth Healing Formulas for a great “greens” product that gives you energy, helps
to gently detoxify the body and promotes many other healthy benefits.
