What's the best way using plant-based food (earth food) to turn fatigue into energy?
Eat leafy greens every day.
OK, so what falls into this category?
Kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, Dandelion greens, mizuma greens, Arugula, Tsat Tsoi, spinach and all the others I forget about until I'm at the farmers' markets each Summer.
Why are these so great for turning fatigue into energy?
Just look at them; they are standing straight up with their leaves reaching towards the sky, saying "Here I am!!" For increasing energy in the body, eat foods that focus their energy upwards.
The other main reason is that "green" actually means, 'filled with chlorophyl and oxygen'; the two most important components for cell growth and rejuventaion, brain function, immune building and energy boosting.
What's a quick and yummy way to eat green?
Steam a pot of mixed leafy greens and put some Bragg's Amino Acids and tahini spread on them. See your energy fly.
Want to really see it? Eat them for breakfast and watch your day transform!
Write in and let me know if you've "gone green" with your food."...
