  • The top three foods that you should eat every day are leafy greens, clean and lean proteins

  • and water.

  • So why you should eat greens every day is they're the food most missing from our modern

  • diet. Leafy green vegetables like broccoli, kale, bok choy, collards. They provide an

  • incredible amount of nutrition and the smallest amount of calories.

  • And they're going to offer you things that you're not getting from your other foods.

  • They're going to offer chlorophyll which helps to cleanse and build your blood. They're also

  • going to offer minerals that we're sorely missing like iron and calcium. And also vitamins

  • like vitamin K and vitamin C that you need to help protect your body and help it keep

  • growing in a vitalized way.

  • Now for proteins you want to focus on clean and lean proteins. So if you do eat animal

  • products you definitely want to be sure to choose organic as often as possible so that

  • you're avoiding any toxic ingredients like chemicals or growth hormones.

  • And you need protein every day because your body goes through a system of repair every

  • night when you're asleep. You need to keep continually repairing your tissues and building

  • your body every single day with good quality protein.

  • And you also need water every day. You got to stay hydrated. Your brain needs to be hydrated

  • to think well. Your digestive system needs to be hydrated to eliminate properly. And

  • your digestive system is the seat of your health

  • So if you're properly hydrated you're going to eliminate properly and you're going to

  • get all the nutrition out of your food as well as you can.
