Expression GreenExpressing the need for a healthy green lifestyle

This healthy lifestyles list of the most healthy and enjoy­able foods from us to you via the learn­ings of the ancients, and very new, wise sur­vey­ors of such. So, first you wish to scan, like the war­rior in you and observe. This will take days, come and go, print a list off, get all these into your habits. I am still work­ing on this, and you want to also. 

Mean­while, we can try and taste and see if some new healthy foods will mix and match with the healthy foods & sup­ple­ments you already are famil­iar, to become the best that we all can be. You will see I struc­tured a list, as was my advise at that time. I may undo it, but that is process, you are inter­est in sub­stance. That is, what are these won­der foods that all equal spinach you say. 

Our spir­i­tual adviser Pop­eye still prefers his spinach, but some of us on heart med­i­cine must take care at not too many dark­est greens, so pow­er­ful, but so potent in Vit­a­min K that our blood could be as thick as some skulls. You may want to check with your doc­tor if you are on heart or other med­ica­tions. I love, but must avoid kept and spinach due to my heart medications. 

You will be left to your own devices to test to find new foods to eat. So, here we are then: you want to eat many fruits and berries. That means just that. Eat them frozen, or rather after you have unfrozen what you need, but always frozen is OK, OK? But fresh is always best. Unless they were picked unripe and have gone bad by the time their old truck has reached you.
