The Green Season
Green is appropriate in March not just for the luck of the Irish but also because it brings the first sprouts of new life. Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation—so refresh yourself with some energizing green foods.
Eating a colorful diet helps to ensure a balanced intake of a wide variety of nutrients. When it comes to nutrition, the color green is a powerhouse! Chlorophyll is the energizing green pigment in plants responsible for harnessing the energy of the sun—what’s more rejuvenating than that? St. Patrick’s Day brings out the green in all of us!
