    Perfect body weight indicates that you are fit and healthy. Sudden weight loss and weight gain are an abnormal behavior of our body. It happens due to the failure of the immune system. When infections attack the body, the weak immune system gathers all available energy to fight off. This process reduces nutrients absorptions from food and it can result in weight loss. On the other hand, we suddenly gain weight if our body stores fat cells rather than breaking them down for energy. Your body needs balanced nutrition in both cases. Remember that our body absorbs nutrients in food better in liquid form. Smoothies have numerous benefits over solid foods. A blender breaks down fruits and vegetables into tiny pieces keeping the exact nutritional value.

  • Makes Your Bones Stronger:
    Fruit and vegetables in general have been linked to better bone health. When you make a green vegetable smoothie, you’re enjoying an excellent source of minerals such as magnesium, calcium and phosphorous - all of which build stronger bones. There's also growing belief​ that vitamin K is vital for preventing brittle bones and this is found in abundance in leafy green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Spinach is one of my favorite smoothie ingredients since its taste is very mild and easily masked by even a small quantity of fruit. If you’re just starting with green smoothies, spinach is perfect for beginner’s smoothies.
