These foods comprise of Carbohydrates, proteins, complex sugars, fibers, fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients that exhibit great antioxidant properties and provide superb health benefits into our body.

These green foods also alkalinized and energized our body's cells as they maintain the normal pH level of the body.

These foods are all rich in chlorophyll. It increases the Hemoglobin level in the body. Hemoglobin is considered to be the oxygen-binding substance in the blood. More hemoglobin means more oxygen will be available in the body. Chlorophyll also acts as an antioxidant. It detoxifies the body, rejuvenates and rebuilds tissues, purifies the liver, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, exhibits anti-cancer properties, normalizes blood and provides anti-inflamatory activity.
