Green For Life

In the book Green for Life, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. These animals possess an extremely strong natural immunity to AIDS, Hepatitis C, cancer and other human illnesses.

Chimpanzees share an estimated 99, 4 % of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees consume significantly more green leaves than humans.

We can all learn to love dark leafy greens and support our homeostatic balance in the most optional way. We all have the ability to heal our bodies by remembering that food is medicine and by eating food that heal rather than destroy our bodies, we don’t need any other medicine at all.
