10 green superfoods that will help you look better naked

With the kale and green juice trend in full-swing, the wellness community is certainly convinced that drinking cold-pressed, raw, organic juice daily is one of the best ways to give your body the nutrition it needs to heal.
Health advocates have even discovered that, just like juicing, blended soups and smoothies break down the fiber of greens, making digestion and absorption of nutrients easier for your body.

We get it – more greens equals a healthier, sexier you. But what if you could do even more? With the high-stress demands of today’s world and the constant bombardment of environmental toxins on our bodies, we need more greens than ever to keep our bodies balanced.

Matcha can also aid in weight loss, as it increases energy expenditure and fat oxidation during exercise.
