Shifting the working pace to the holiday mode is quite easy, but the reverse is more than challenging, requiring a surge of willpower.

During the lengthy celebration of Spring Festival, right after the New Year's in January, is quite a plunge: Involving a comprehensive schedule of reunions with familly and friends, plus an endless itenerary of door-to-door visitations with relatives and in-laws of the extended family. At this time, all will power and health discipline caved in to the taboos of insatiable food indulgence, as well as guiltless drinking spree. Needless to say, the disastrous consequence is multiple, which includes not only bloated bellies and ugly fat layers, but also soaring blood pressure, over saturated cholesterol, and increasing blood sugar. And, returning to the regular, healthy routine would mean insurmountable hard work, involving crush diets, excruciating exercises, and torrid affair with work.

Now that spring is here, seasonal vegetables flourish in colorful abundance. Albeit blatantly aware of the given truth that veggies are good for us, we are numb to the nagging reminders of parents and teachers to "eat your greens". We seemingly neglect the facts and figures of greens being contributory to health, supplying our body with enzymes and fiber for aiding digestion; cleansing digestive tracks and flushing out toxins; maintaining cognitive functions and improving mental capacity; supplementing natural vitamins and minerals; improving and rejuvenating cells and skin tissues; aiding weight loss; so on and so forth, altogether in the most natural way.

But now that we are facing the post holiday catastrophe, perhaps it is about time to take a serious look at the idea of "Going Clean and Green in Spring", which we so dedicatedly present by way of selective, easy, and economical 'Clean and Green' recipes. After all, "Health is Wealth" which money can't buy.

从繁忙紧张的工作模式切换到悠闲舒适的假期模式往往易如反掌,反之则需要巨大的精神动力和执行毅力,才能熬过假期综合症的种种不适。

每到假期都让我们再次用实际行动证明了每逢佳节胖三斤的佳话。犒劳自己理所应当,暂时将那些减肥计划、健康准则抛诸脑后更在情理之中,加之父母的疼爱,亲友的关怀,大鱼大肉的滋养自然让人心宽体胖。随着春天接踵而至,赘肉无处藏身,是时候回归健康养生的生活轨道,重拾苗条自信的自己。

节日宴上,绿色果蔬或许最不起眼,但轻身功效却首当其冲,尽管“多吃青菜”的陈词滥调我们从小就耳熟能详,但真能达标人体每天所需绿蔬摄入量的食客确实少之又少。那么,让我们先来温习下,绿色果蔬的许多益处:补充纤维和酶类物质,有助人体消化;清理肠道,排出体内毒素;维护认知功能,提高心智容量;补充天然维生素和矿物质;由内而外改善肌肤组织;有效健康减肥等等。

于是我们特别筛选出8种美味与健康兼具的绿色果蔬,并分别搭配一道烹饪简单的菜谱,愿您挥一挥衣袖,不留下一点赘肉。
