Introduction
The vegetables are the most underused and underrated among the meat eaters today. Consumption of very little vegetable in the daily diet over long term can lead to the unwanted results- increased risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, anaemia, accelerated aging and poor immune system.  Vegetables especially the dark greens are REAL and UNPROCESSED food, which are produced by sunlight as the single most important element. 

Summary of Chlorophyll, Magnesium, Calcium
The presence of chlorophyll photosynthesize by using the energy of sunlight  to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is the nutrition for the plants.  The darker the green, the more content of chlorophyll it has.  The chlorophyll's core structure is similar to human's red blood cell except that the porphyrin ring of chlorophyll is built around magnesium whereas the porphyrin ring of red blood cell is built around iron. When we consume dark green vegetables that are chockfull of  chlorophyll,  our body receive the extremely valuable nutrient, magnesium. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in every cells in our body, which include detoxification (slow down skin aging), energy production and ATP, bone health and proper synthesis & repair of the RNA and DNA. Unfortunately magnesium is one of the most common world-wide deficiency, which lead to serious host of diseases today. It is interesting to note that green is the colour of 4th chakra- heart, the central powerhouse of human energy system. Green is the colour of growth, life & balance and if the heart chakra is harnessed properly over time, you will be able to sense the interconnectedness of all of life. 

Beside magnesium, the green leafy vegetable also provide valuable nutrients such as good ratio of calcium to magnesium (2:1 for bone health compared to the dairy milk, 10:1), iron (red blood cell production), folate ( red blood cell production and nervous system health) and many other nutrients. Many studies have shown that daily regular consumption of dark green leafy vegetables at least 2-3 times (preferably raw or juiced as cooking destroy valuable nutrients due to high temperature) can improve the skin health (more natural glow and less winkles). So all the more, one should embrace the green diet in order age gracefully and beautifully.
