Lean Green Inflammation Fighting Machine


Leafy greens are the most nutrient dense, anti-inflammatory and disease preventative out of the entire edible plant kingdom. However, sometimes a salad just doesn't sound that appetizing, especially in the winter months and some people just don't like them. One great alternative is to put a more mild leafy green in a smoothie, like spinach. It boosts the concentration of phytonutrients that work to reverse inflammation, the root of all chronic illness.
