The Mechanisms

Leafy Greens (kale, spinach, chard, dandelion)

vegetable

Dark leafy greens deliver chlorophyll, which supports cellular oxygenation and gentle detoxification, plus the highest food concentrations of vitamin K1 and folate.

Preparation: Eat raw in salads with EVOO and lemon. Lightly cooked also works — and is required for thyroid patients eating cruciferous greens.

Blueberries (wild preferred)

fruit

The deep blue anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier and support neuronal membrane integrity. Wild blueberries contain roughly double the antioxidant density of cultivated.
