Tip #8 The Power of Green

Eat something green and leafy.
When it comes to greens, there’s much more than plain old iceberg lettuce. Try one of these greens:
~Arugula
~Endive
~Watercress
~Kale
~Spinach
~Romaine lettuce
Yes, the “cooking” of greens is healthy! One cup of raw spinach has 30 mg of calcium whereas one up of cooked spinach has 250 mg of calcium –that’s almost as much calcium in a glass of milk! (I personally would rather the milk!!!)


Ok…most of the leafy greens listed here are in what I call “Weed salad” and I don’t like them that much! Haha However I will try to not pick the spinach out of my salad I eat at work anymore. Baby steps people! For dinner tomorrow I plan on having broccoli…I might cover it with cheese! But it still counts right?!
