We’ve already gone over some basic facts about green foods, but there are still so many simple things you can discover. Looking at how greens oxygenate the blood is so amazing, especially when you consider what I’m about to tell you.
We know that greens are important for nutrition, vitamin and mineral content, but their role in keeping our blood fresh – and us alive is astounding.
How Green Foods Oxygenate Your Blood
It’s always surprising to find how few people realize just how vital green food is in providing oxygen enrichment to your blood. Just as plants are needed to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere, a similar process happens within our own bodies – but in reverse.
We absorb oxygen and exhale and release carbon dioxide. So each process is opposite but complimentary of the other – in perfect balance. It’s fascinating how simple and clever it all works.
A fair and equal trade wouldn’t you say? Nature is so simple in it’s genius that sometimes we over look it because of it being so obvious.
By eating good, fresh and organic green vegetables, you enrich your blood with oxygen that travels to every cell in body. This is important to stimulate breathing, nerve function and in cleaning out toxins that can build up and put pressure on your immune system.
How Greens Transform In Our Bodies
Not only do greens oxygenate your blood, very few people are aware that magnesium found in green foods actually transmutes into iron within our bodies and in the bodies of other animals as well. In fact, chlorophyll is essential in forming haemoglobin.
It just gets better and more amazing, doesn’t it?
Chlorophyll molecules are almost identical to human blood molecules – excepting that chlorophyll has a nucleus of magnesium and human blood has a nucleus containing iron. This benefit is especially true with dark green foods and broad leafy greens.
This transformation illustrates just how important the connection and interaction between us and plants is for life to exist. It is certainly essential to human health. All elements constantly form and reform via transmutation. It is an essence of life and energy that is in constant change.
How many times have you heard someone tell you to “eat your greens” if you want to grow up to be big and strong? Did anyone ever explain why? If not, then now you know. And don’t forget that calcium intake is also far easier to obtain from greens than from milk. After all, that’s where cows get it from in the first place!
So there you have it, some food for thought the next time you sit down to a meal.
While we can go for extended periods without healthy foods and vegetables, we never really enjoy the freedom of well being without them. Many people don’t eat well at all but never quite connect their lack of health with their poor eating habits.
So eat your greens to:
- enrich yourself with nutrients
- fill your cells and organs with oxygen and
- clean out excess toxins that build up in your system
Use this understanding of green foods to keep you alive and strong – utilize it. Whether you can grasp all or any of this or not, you would have to agree that green foods are essential in maintaining a healthy body.

Next time we will look at greens from beneath the ocean waves. What!! Sea weed?
Yes - sea vegetables are not only rich in nutrients – they are vital to human health … in more ways than one!
