Green leafy vegetables

I always recommend to my client to eat green leafy vegetables. There are many reason why, one they contains lots of minerals, especially magnesium with all the benefit that magnesium has. Another one is being leafy there are also part of the leaf that is not absorbed but digested and worked on by the friendly bacteria which in turns make any elimination of toxins and unwated waste more easily. Now one of the new reseach (mentioned by Dr Briffa in his blog) has the benefit of preventing diabetes type 2. Which I am not surprised as magnesium is an important mineral also for the control of insulin but also I suppose the people that eat more leafy vegetables, also tends to eat less sweet, white pasta or bread and usually either cook their own foods or eat as heatlhy as it can be. It does not mean that just eating leafy vegetables will stop the diabetes, again is a lifestyle change rather than just one thing. Such as walking or doing exercise and implement the healthy eating as a regular thing rather than an occasional meal. ....... Enjoy your greens!!!http://www.nutritionhealth.net/
