Eating Green For St. Patrick’s Day
Start Eating Green For Your Health This St. Patrick’s Day
In addition to the regular festivities surrounding St. Patrick’s Day this month, consider adding a new tradition more green foods to your diet.”Green foods across the board are healthy in terms of their vitamin, mineral, water and antioxidant content, and St Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to think about how you can incorporate more of them into your diet,” says Erica Wald, RD, a wellness coordinator with the MFit Health Promotion Division at the University of Michigan Health System.
The key, she says, is variety.
“You want to incorporate lots of different intensities of green all the various colors of green,” she says. “The more varied the colors, the more varied your vitamin and mineral intake.”
A novel idea - and it’s got to be better than the green beer.
