Everyone knows they need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but consuming even the minimum FDA-recommended five servings a day can be challenging. In Green for Life, raw foods pioneer Victoria Boutenko presents an overlooked powerhouse of nutrition in this equation: greens. For their bounty of minerals and nutrients, greens exceed other vegetables in value. Green for Life details the immense health benefits of greens and suggests an easy way to consume them in sufficient quantities: the green smoothie. This quick, simple drink benefits everyone, regardless of lifestyle, diet, or environment. Green smoothies eliminate toxins, correct nutritional deficiencies, and are delicious as well.Green for Life includes the latest information on the abundance of protein in greens, the benefits of fiber, the role of greens in homeostasis, the significance of stomach acid, how greens make the body more alkaline, the healing power of chlorophyll, and more. Also included are the results of a pilot study demonstrating the effectiveness of adding just one quart of green smoothies a day to ones diet, without changing anything else in dietary intake. Green smoothie testimonials and recipes give readers confidence and motivation in exploring green smoothies for themselves. This updated edition offers important new research on the role that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play in metabolic health and includes nutritional data on select green smoothies and updated findings on organic versus conventional produce. Offering more in-depth nutritional and experiential information than Boutenkos recently released Green Smoothie Revolution, Green for Life makes an ideal companion piece to its recipe-rich successor.

CONTENTS
FOREWORD

In more than thirty-five years of practice as a psychiatrist affiliated with the Harvard Medical School, I have learned one thing well: human behavior is very hard to change.

N OW Victoria Boutenko is persuading me otherwise, because this remarkable woman has developed a strategy for helping ordinary Americans (the ones who love ice cream and steak and French fries and pizza) introduce green living foods into their life in a delicious and habit-forming way. Nothing she says in this book about our bodys ability to restore itself to good health if given the right nutrients to work with is exactly new in itself. And yet Green for Life is a groundbreaking achievement because Ms. Boutenko has understood that the way to encourage her readers to trigger their natural mechanisms for cleaning cholesterol, fat, and toxins from their bodiesand thereby to improve first their physical lives and then their mental and spiritual livesis not to lecture about the need to consume more living plant life but to make it easy and pleasant for them to do it.

The green smoothieor, to be more specific, the quart of green smoothie that Ms. Boutenko recommends we all start our day withis in and of itself a tremendous injection of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants into the typical American diet. A quart of green smoothie a day also discourages consumption of denatured and greasy foods. For one thing, its hard to stuff yourself with refined starches and sugars when youre full of one of Ms. Boutenkos tasty and energizing concoctions. (Check out one of the tempting recipes for Sweet Green Smoothies on .) And if another seductive green smoothie is waiting for you in the refrigerator when you get home from work, the dinner you prepare and consume after sipping it will almost certainly be smaller, and possibly healthier, too.

Thirty days of green smoothies will also change how you feel and how you feel about yourself. Thats no small achievement for one small book.

I salute Ms. Boutenko. I recommend that you take Green for Life very seriously. I believe it can help you change your life.

INTRODUCTION TO THE UPDATED EDITION

Dear Reader,

I am flattered that Green for Life has become so popular and am honored to present you with this updated version of my book. Since it was first published, some major discoveries in the field of nutrition have occurred that I wanted to share with you. Of particular importance are several groundbreaking studies recently published about the proper balance of essential fatty acids. This new edition of Green for Life contains a whole new chapter about omega-3 oils; I believe these findings to be nearly as valuable as the entire concept of green smoothies themselves.

I am amazed at the speed with which the pool of nutritional information is growing. Many new discoveries about greens, fruits, and vegetables have recently appeared in scientific publications and throughout the Internet. When I was gathering information for my book back in 2004, there was almost no data available about greens. The only green that had nutritional analysis was cooked spinach. I had to search for pieces of information all over the world. Now the USDA provides comprehensive nutritional data on the majority of foods, including uncommon items such as stinging nettles, dandelions, and other weeds. In this updated edition I am pleased to include valuable new information on the nutritional content of some of my green smoothies and about several greens, fruits, and vegetables.

Another big chunk of important research came from thirty-seven new studies comparing the nutritional content of organic versus conventional foods; thus I felt the need to update the chapter about organic soil.

Finally, the latest research about the vital importance of antioxidant flavonoids in the human diet inspired me to create several new recipes, such as Minti-Dandelion and Super Cilantro, with more colorful ingredients rich in antioxidants.

Several powerful new testimonials about the healing potential of green smoothies further enhance this new edition.

I would like to thank my readers all over the world for their ongoing interest in natural health. All I did was write the book. You are the ones who change your healthand I celebrate with you!

In Health,

Victoria
