Enough talking, who is ready for today’s challenge?1) “Go Green” Nutrition Challenge with @monica_parodi
Wow, this challenge has gone by fast! I can’t believe this will be
my last nutrition post until the end of the challenge. It’s a little
bitter sweet. I am happy that you guys have done a stellar job and are
almost done but I will miss getting those emails first thing in the
morning. The motivational tips and workouts have definitely exceeded my
expectations!
You guys know by now that Thursdays are all about the Greens! Today’s nutrition challenge is to have something green with every meal or snack. Add spinach to your omelet, have a salad for a snack, broccoli with hummus or try a green smoothie!

| BENEFITS OF GREENS |
| 1. Greens are high in fiber and quite low in calories and carbohydrates, which makes them great for the digestive tract and for weight loss and maintenance. |
| 2. Greens are anti-inflammatory. |
| 3. Greens regulate blood sugar. |
| 4. Greens like kale, collard greens and spinach are a great source for calcium. The calcium is also highly absorbable, unlike that in other foods. |
| 5. Greens help control blood pressure. |
| 6. Greens are a rich source of minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and iron. |
| 7. Greens provide sustainable energy. |
| 8. Greens control hunger and cravings. |
