Everything, it seems, is coming up green. Or at least in the supplement world.
As a registered dietitian, I’ve heard more and more of my clients asking about greens supplements powdered mixes of green fruits and vegetables ready to be stirred into shakes and smoothies to improve health.
If you regularly take greens powders, does that mean you no longer have to chew your way through another stem of kale? Do these powders
really offer the same heart-helping, disease-fighting, diabetes-busting benefits of dark green leafy vegetables? Can these supplements help with that oh-so-tricky-to-consume-enough-of nutrient, fiber? And what about immunity? Greens powders are good for immunity, right?
AS MOST fathers know, dads do unexpected and unfamiliar things for their children.
I am a father of two girls, ages nine and 11. I am also a longtime consumer of meat. So when my daughters came to me late last year and told my wife and I that they had decided they wanted to stop eating meat, though would still eat fish, I was initially skeptical.
It’s not that we didn’t
ever eat fish we actually ate a fair amount but when you’re eating more fish, well, you have to explore uncharted waters.
This would mean that my wife and I would have to change up our meal planning, adjust our shopping lists, and also get more familiar with cooking fish.
