Dark leafy greens vs lettuce such as iceberg

[andyswarbs]

If you like the crunch of iceberg that's fine, but nutritionally it does not pack the same punch as your dark leafy greens. For anyone looking for a healthier lifestyle I would include some dark leafy greens in your daily meal plan. If you are buying from a supermarket then a bagful is the kind of quantity you should be aiming for. If you find the idea of eating a full bag of such a food then either add some to a smoothie or stir some at the last minute into a stew. Though of course spinach is the usual goto-item for adding to stews and soups. Add some lemon juice to ensure you get a full punch of the available calcium. Otherwise you are packing your body with lots of enzymes, omega-3s and so much more.
