Alkaline Diet Recipe: Sautéed Greens With Garlic And Parsley

Acid can do a lot of scary things to your body, like rob your bones of minerals, deprive you of much-needed rest, zap your energy, and even make you crave foods that will make you sick like sugar.

One of the best ways to fight all of that is to eat foods rich in minerals, and magnesium in particular. 90% of all Americans do not get enough magnesium in their diets, and the results speak for themselves.

Dark, leafy greens like kale, spinach, and watercress are the best food source of magnesium, plus a lot of other vitamins and minerals. And today’s recipe is perfect for those greens, or any others like collards, arugula, or whatever you happen to have on hand.

This dish cooks up in minutes, it’s versatile enough to work as a main course or a side dish, and it’s so full of flavor, even the kids will be asking for seconds.
