Important information. Greens really have a lot of health benefits but so few people eat them. I like them in all kinds of salads and thrown in at the end for stir frys. Have them in smoothies too. Some of the best antioxidants in them are fat-soluble though so it’s worth adding some health fats like coconut or avocado oil to your smoothie or meal.

Hi Jan,

That’s great that the kids are fit and healthy, not only that your parents are doing well. Most people in their mid-80s that I have known and those I know who are alive, are not in good health and living independently, so that’s a blessing for your parents.

I tried to grow some Chinese veggies one year, and I had little success. I’d love to be in your shoes.

Good to see you.

Hi Evelyn
Like you and your grandmother, we had to eat cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage amongst other healthy veges – we weren’t given a choice, if you didn’t eat it there was no alternative, no pandering like there is today, we weren’t given peanut butter sandwiches if we didn’t eat our dinner! Now the three kids are all fit and healthy and in their 50s and we all love veges and Mum and Dad are still living independently and in their mid-80s.

Where we live there is a very high Asian population, so we also get all the lovely Chinese veges which are so fantastic in stir fries and soups. I am intrigued by Kale as it seems to be big in the US but I haven’t seen it at all in Australia. It may be available in other states but not Qld.

Hi Evenlyn,

These vegetables also help you fight the ill-effects of xenoestrogens which results in less abdominal fat storage. This article explains that: http://burnmybellyfat.com/vegetables-that-burn-belly-fat.html

Of all the green veggies listed in your excellent post, I regularly use only Lettuce. I guess it is about time to extend my diet. Thanks for this info.

Hey Preeti!

You know, I love spinach and kale. They are my favorite too. Your cravings were healthy and that’s good.

Yeah, so true, this is good for anyone, no matter the diet.

Good to see you and take care!

Hey Kathy!

Mine too! Glad you enjoyed the story about my grandmother. Yes she was!

I enjoy any style, as long is the flavor pops, I’ll eat them.

Yes, it is!
