Eating greens really makes me feel good. I feel more energetic which makes me more active. In turn being more active kills two birds with one stone. I am too busy to eat and also desire less food. Eating less helps keep me trim. When I don’t eat greens I feel tired and drug out. Not much energy. I try to eat greens 1 to 3 times a day. Fresh greens like fresh spinach, Asparagus, celery, spring mix, green onions, just something green every day. What ever is in season.
An example of a favorite breakfast is:
1 egg, bacon bits, asparagus, basil, green olives, garlic and cheese. Top with fresh tomatoe after cooking. All fresh or as close to fresh as you can get. I rarely use salt and you probably won’t need it anyway with the olives and bacon. I do use lots of pepper because I love pepper. I have this breakfast almost every day with what ever greens I have on hand.

The basil is good to use with garlic to cut gas and is also good for headaches which I rarely have anymore. Garlic is an antitoxidant and natural blood thinner. Green olives have little or no calories and I like them. Tomatoes are low in fat and sodium, high in potassium which helps leg cramps and they lower blood pressure. Celery can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
I use the greens mentioned above because I like them and they are all low calorie and healthy.
