DARK LEAFY GREENS REDUCE THE RISK OF VARIOUS DISEASES.

Research shows that  vegetables like spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce,
mustard greens, collard greens, chicory, and Swiss chard are rich
sources of various micro nutrients that help reduce the risk of a
wide variety of diseases, including heart disease, high blood
pressure, cataracts, stroke, and cancer.

DARK LEAFY GREENS ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF VITAMIN K.

Vitamin K, one of the four fat-soluble vitamins, helps support healthy blood coagulation,
leads to a reduction in the calcification and stiffening of
arteries (which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease),
and may ultimately play a role in anti-aging treatments and
cancer therapy.

DARK LEAFY GREENS HELP PRESERVE VISION AND EYE HEALTH

Kale, dandelion greens, mustard greens, and Swiss chard are great sources of lutein and
zeaxanthin, two molecules that have been associated with lower
rates of age-related eye degeneration.

Ingredients

4.cups chopped kale (stems removed)
4.cups fresh spinach leaves
3.tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1.tablespoon lemon juice
   Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
6.hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
2.medium avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/2.small red onion, sliced
4.tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Method 

1 In a large bowl, add kale, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice,
   salt, and pepper. Toss to combine, coating the greens with
   dressing. Divide the salad between 4 plates.
2 Top each bed of greens with eggs, avocados, and red onion.

AVOCADOS MAY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.

Not only are avocados a source of healthy fats, they’re packed with fiber too. This is why one
study found participants who ate avocado with their lunch felt

“23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the
next 5 hours,” compared to participants whose lunch didn’t
contain avocado.AVOCADOS CONTAIN MORE POTASSIUM THAN BANANAS. Inadequate potassium intake is extremely common and associated with high blood pressure, heart
attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. Just half of an avocado
(about 100 grams) contains 14% of the daily recommended intake of
potassium, compared to the 10% found in a medium-sized banana.

AVOCADOS CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE.
Research shows that eating
avocados can significantly improve your cholesterol profile, thereby reducing your risk of heart disease.

Ingredients

8 egg whites or 1½ cups liquid egg white substitute
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Ground cayenne pepper, to taste
1.tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup seeded and diced tomatoes
8.slices whole-grain bread, toasted
1.medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Method 

1 .In a medium bowl, add egg whites and use a fork or whisk to
    beat together. Stir in the salt, pepper, and cayenne.

2.Add the olive oil to a small nonstick skillet and warm over
   medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon each of bell peppers,
   scallions, and tomatoes. Stirring constantly, sauté for 1 minute;
   mix in ¼ of the egg whites. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low,
   and cook until eggs have set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula
   to fold eggs over themselves (in half) and then fold in half
   again. Remove eggs from pan and reserve. Repeat process 3 more
   times until all the egg whites and vegetables have been used.
3. Lay eggs onto 4 pieces of toasted bread and layer avocado
    slices on top. Close with top half of bread, cut each sandwich in
    half, and serve.
