Green Salads for Health.

We have broken well away from the root vegetables which we were glad to eat during the Winter. We have had our swedes, parsnips, turnips, and the other varieties natural to the Winter season, but now we are revelling in the generous supply of green vegetables which we see displayed by the green-grocer. Green peas, beans, lettuce, etc., seem to be grown in abundance, and the housewife, who is now quite learned in connection with the necessity for providing green vegetables for her household, finds shopping in this direction quite a simple matter. She knows that the green vegetables are rich in alkaline salts which neutralise acids. These salts perform very important functions which render them absolutely necessary for the health. Upon anyone suffering from high blood pressure, “nerves” and rheumatism, a diet of green vegetables will often achieve remarkably beneficial effects.

Green vegetables contain Vitamin A which increases our resistance to germ infections, Vitamin B, which is so valuable in maintaining the digestive and nervous systems in a healthy state, and Vitamin C, which keeps the blood in good working order.

“Green Salads for Health” is a slogan which every housewife should appreciate.
