Thumbs up

I applaud you for identifying the need for more green leafies! I feel great when I get plenty of greens. They are a great source for minerals and vitamins and help with detoxification. I like wheat grass shots or kale/apple/lime/ginger juice. If you have access to whole collard greens, they make great tortilla style wraps.

I have been eating exclusively raw vegan for over 4 months. A few weeks ago I started feeling light headed at 3PM each day. I admit I haven't been juicing wheat grass much the past couple of months, but the problem went away when I started eating more calories at lunch and bringing fruit for an afternoon snack.

Also, starting the new year I've been running every evening. I find it increases my energy and improves my mood and ability to focus throughout the day.

I think it requires some testing as you mentioned. Good luck!
