Smoothies for men that should be included in the diet, recipes

Green smoothies are both trendy and healthy. Women have long figured out all the beneficial properties of such drinks. But men, even being ardent supporters of healthy lifestyle, in most cases prefer a good piece of meat to a bunch of parsley. And in vain.

First, greens are the main source of chlorophyll on earth. Yes, the same chlorophyll, which we were all told about at school in botany lessons, is needed not only for plants, but also for people. After all, it has strong antioxidant and antitumor effects, and is good for the liver. It also accelerates wound healing. Scars adorn a man, of course. But, you see, if you have already received a “battle wound” in a fight with your beloved cat, it is better that the resulting scratches heal as soon as possible.

Secondly, condiments and spices that are common in the eyes of men – dill, celery, parsley, cilantro – contain trace elements that contribute to an increase in male libido. For example, in the same kinze there is androsterone – a natural analogue of the hormone testosterone. And in terms of the amount of protein, cilantro or, say, parsley can easily compete with meatballs or chicken legs.

Doubt? Look at the gorilla! These close relatives of homo sapiens reached their impressive size, eating exclusively plant foods. In addition, greens contain protein in the form of free amino acids, which the body absorbs much faster and easier than from meat.

And do not forget about fiber, which has the ability to absorb and remove toxins and toxins from the body. This, in turn, improves digestion. Fiber also contains beneficial antioxidants that can prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease. In general, sheer benefit and no magic.

Just chewing a bunch of parsley is tedious and boring. Vegetable salads? But in order to get useful trace elements in the right quantities, they need to be eaten in basins. The best option is smoothies. It turns out delicious, healthy and simply beautiful.
