Have Chinese Restaurants Been Right All Along?

26 Jul

Have you noticed in most of your favorite Chinese dishes you can find this green limp vegetable that doesn’t have much flavor?  This is not just for bulk or presentation…this vegetable, endearingly named Bok Choy, is a special kind of nutritional delight.

Bok Choy is one of the most nutrient dense, beneficial things that you can eat or juice.

It supplies your body with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, antioxidants, Vitamin K and carotenes
This leafy greens is super high in chlorophyll content.  Chlorophyll is what makes plants grow, what gives plants life and this will cleanse are bodies, revitalize are blood, plump up your skin so you have this healthy glow.

My mom and I were discussing this morning how she has become addicted to Bok Choy.  She was previously deceived and didn’t realize just how good Bok Choy was for you because of the white bottoms.

 

Then she read the book, Eat To Live written by Doctor Fuhrman, whom oversaw Joe Cross in the documentary Fat, Sick and Almost Dead.
Dr. Fuhrman states that Bok Choy is in the top 3 nutrient dense foods.
This list gives you the top 30 nutrient dense foods that you can add to your arsenal for living an optimum healthy life.

 

The taste of Bok Choy is a cross between cabbage and celery.  If you are going to be eating raw it is great to choose Bok Choy because if you eat a lot of cabbage and celery you could experience a great deal of bloating.  But you won’t have the same effect with the Choy.
Not to mention Bok Choy is so so low in calories.  100 g of Bok Choy is only 13 calories so it is in the negative calorie category.
