Product Description In search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. 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. Victoria developed a series of greens smoothies that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a very palatable way. |
Customers Reviews  2008-08-18 A true pearl in the Raw Movement I have to say that the reviewers comments below is not one that is Accurate or Fair. This book is in no way selling or recommending any product(s)!
I've read this book and given copies to friends and family. The book is filled with facts about green smoothies that is absolutely incredible.
Victoria has poured lots of research into presenting a great testament to the benefits of green smoothies.
While most of these smoothies are made from kale, spinach, dandelion, or chard, they are incredibly delicious. The results of drinking these smoothies, can be seen and felt. Victoria clearly does not claim to be anything other than a researcher. But to her credit she has taken her family to new health heights and offers readers the same opportunity.
Having just attended a presentation by Victoria where covers much of the material in this book, I can say that she is living proof of being Green for Life!
This book will be (and is already) a classic!
|  2008-08-15 greatly disappointing I am very happy for the Boutenko family's new found health and hope that their story is true. This book felt like a lengthy high-pressure sale and was not enlightening or even that interesting. I expected to read about the health benefits of the raw or live food lifestyle, but instead found page upon page of advertisement for the VitaMix Blender. The last quarter of the book is filled with "testimonials" from folks happily using the VitaMix Blender. If you are looking for nutrition information or live food recipes, you will not find them here. |  2008-08-04 A Great Way to Transition For years, I have had the "knowledge" in regards to eating more raw healthy foods, but cravings have gotten in the way of the type of success I've dreamed of. Victoria changed my perspective by showing we can focus our concentration on good health by drinking delicious green smoothies. The cravings are fading faster than I could have imagined. IN addition, I turned my neighbor on to this book. She came for a visit after two weeks of green smoothies, and said she was eternally grateful, let me know that out of all the things I've done for her, turning her on to this book was the greatest. Drinking the smoothies have already changed her life on every level. Get this book to see how easy improving you health can be. |  2008-08-01 Green For Life I found this book an answer to having better health habits and a good way to include my family. I especially like that the author did all the research and came up with this book. It was wonderful! I have already advised all my friends to buy,read and use the materials. My goal this year is to be more healthy than every before! |  2008-07-28 green for life This book has changed my life. It turned on the light bulb to being
a smarter eater and consumer of greens. Every morning my wife and I have a green smoothie and our health has only changed for the better. This book was not only an easy read but a great eye opener. I would definitely suggest the purchase of this book. |

The Best Way To Overcome Spring Depression Serotonin diet
Spring Depression and Overweighting
Each spring we are subjected to uncertain anxiety, apathy, force loss and bad mood. These seem to be rather normal seasonal occasions.
There is the serotonin system in the central nerve system. This is the place of serotonin generated, the very item to control our emotions, apatite, mood, cause anti-stress, anti-inflammation and anti-allergy effect, takes part in the process of sleep regulation, topes up and stimulates our immune system.
The food we consume cause impact on the level of serotonin.
Serotonin Diet
This kind of diet implies frequent meals of small portions, sea fish consumption, sea products (squids, crabs, seaweed), which contain a great variety of polyunsaturated fatty acids : Omega-3 and Omega-6.
This is very important to include products containing cellular tissue: dried apricots, asparagus, green salads, celery, colour cabbage, broccoli, oatmeal, pineapples and so on and so forth.
Preserved products, crisps, fried and smocked food, alcohol (a bit of dry red wine however is useful) are removed from the food allowance completely.
To keep your mood, mental and physical capacity at the high level, t make the process of weight loss more effective you need to get additional vitamins and micro-elements.:
1. magnesium
2. chromium
3. vitamin – E
4. vanadium
5. biotin
6. L lipoic acid
7. zinc
8. selenium
Serotonin influence on the expression of the majority person’s emotions - passion, intentions, impulses.
It’s practically impossible to struggle against disorders of the serotonin system by mere strength of will. And it’s even more difficult to manage your behaviour and inclinations.
Serotonin diet (sensible eating, vitamin-mineral complexes) will help you to loose weight, cheer up, restore your sleep and health.
Carbon diet raise the serotonin level of those who can not imagine their life without sweet. As the result they feel active, they are in a cheerful mood and sleep well. In case such a person keeps to a protein diet he begins to feel apathy, anger, and is more prone to any kind of depression.
Fats included in the food allowance serve as a kind of buffer: they stabilize the level of serotonin that contributes to sound sleep and good mood.
This fact proves the necessity of various food allowance : from the one hand there should be proteins, fats, carbons in the ration, from the other hand – a personal accent on the ration of these elements is needed, taking in account a persons’ body and digestion peculiarities.
There are also general factor which decrease the serotonin level such as smocking, alcohol, coffee, exceed consumption of proteins and fast-digested carbons. |
