]]> We’ve all heard it a thousand times: green leafy vegetables are good for you and you should try and eat them at least once per day. But what is actually so good about these leaves?

Here are some of the health benefits of eating green leafy vegetables.

Vitamins

Green leafy vegetables are packed full of vitamins A, C and K. These help your eyes, bones and skin stay strong and healthy, as well as improve the immune system.

Alkaline

They are also alkaline, meaning that they have pH above 7. This can neutralize excess stomach acid and help alleviate the symptoms of heartburn or indigestion.

Minerals

Green leafy vegetables—such as kale, spinach and lettuce—are also rich in essential minerals—such as magnesium, potassium and calcium.

Reduce Inflammation

Eating them regularly also reduces inflammation of the gut and joints.

Boost Immune System

And finally, all of these things taken together give your immune system a real boost. This can help protect you from diseases, chronic illness and even the seasonal cold.

]]> More and more people are having trouble digesting foods that contain lectin. This is a group of proteins that the body can find a bit hard to tolerate. That is why the lectin-free diet is such a big thing on social media and wellness websites. But do you actually know what you can eat when you want to go lectin-free?

Nuts And Seeds

Everyone loves nuts, plus they are super-nutritious. When it comes to the choices, they are diverse. Walnuts, pecans, pistachios, chestnuts, coconut, sesame seeds, hemp seeds are just a part of your choices.

Leafy Greens

Leafy green and calciferous vegetables should be on top of your list for the lectin-free diet. You can opt for broccoli, cauliflower, arugula, kale, carrots, artichokes, beets and so much more.

Meat

Grass-fed and pasture-raised poultry meat should be your two choices. You can turn to chicken, turkey, beef, pork and more. Fish is also a yes! You can experiment with different types and find the one that’s best for you.

Olives

Olives and olive oil are the best things to have during your lectin-free diet. They are completely safe and approved. This makes things so much easier since everything tastes better when you add olive oil.
