Why Vegetables?

Your mother was right when she told you to eat your vegetables. Packed with nutrition, vegetables also contain “phytonutrients” (nutrients from plants). These are free-radical fighting compounds found in vegetables and in Nature's Life Greens. The subject of on-going research funded by the National Cancer Institute's Designer Foods program, flavonoids, diallyl sulfides, carotenoids, glucaric acid, plant sterols and indoles are a few of these naturally occurring phytonutrients in Nature's Life Greens.

Nature's Life Greens contains other naturally occurring antioxidants, such as beta carotene. Most, but not all, studies have found that these important antioxidants help maintain a healthy heart and healthy cells.*^{(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)}

An unhealthy heart and pre-disposition to abnormal cell growth have many causes, including family health history, cigarette smoking and being overweight. Additional factors include sedentary lifestyles, high blood pressure, high LDL-cholesterol, diabetes, as well as a high fat diet. Diets low in saturated fat, cholesterol and total fat may reduce the risk of heart disease. A diet low in fat may reduce the risk of some cancers. Development of cancer depends on many factors. Eating a diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Fruits and vegetables are low in fat and may contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C and dietary fiber. Nature's Life Greens is low-fat, has NO cholesterol and is high in fiber.

Gram for gram, Nature's Life Greens has 10 times the iron in spinach, twice the Vitamin A in carrots, 50% more fiber than wheat bran, 28% more calcium than milk and the same amount of Vitamin C as orange juice.
