How Green Can You Be?

What do you enjoy most about St. Patrick's Day? Irish music? Green beer? The ability to wear something that says "Kiss Me..." without getting funny looks? On this day when green is everywhere, use the occasion to think green when it comes to your diet.

How do we love thee, dark green leafy vegetables? Let us count the ways...

1. for the disease-fighting vitamin C contained in cabbage and bok choy.
2. for the muscle-boosting iron in broccoli and spinach.
3. for the vision-promoting vitamin A in arugula and romaine.
4. for the bone-building vitamin K in mustard greens and kale.
5. for the fact that they won't make us look like Popeye, but help us to feel as strong.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Dress yourself in green - on the outside and inside.
