In
search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard
American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. Chimpanzees share an
estimated 99.4% of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically
different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees
consume significantly more green leaves than humans. Based on these
observations, Victoria has developed a series of green smoothie recipes
that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a palatable
way.
Victoria
introduces the idea of blending, rather than juicing, as being the superior
way to ingest greens, for the very necessary insoluble fiber, which
is essential for healing and maintenance of our elimination systems.
Also documented is a study in which a group of regular people drink
a one quart green smoothie every day for a month, in addition to their
regular diet.
One
pound of certain greens can give you your RDA of all nine essential
amino acids, not to mention an abundance of vitamins and minerals.
"Victoria
Boutenko's clear, simple, masterful concept is so valuable, so powerful—we
can expect to see and feel the world of health rocked to its foundations
within the decade."
—Thomas
Chavez, homeopath, author of Body Electronics
"In
Green for Life Victoria gives us a unique, yet simple and delicious
strategy for boosting our nutritional levels. Green smoothies are nothing
short of revolutionary! I would recommend this book to just about anyone.
It meets the needs of those who are seeking to move from a standard American
diet into a healthier lifestyle, as well as those who have been 'raw'
for years."
—Phyllis
Linn, raw food enthusiast
