The Power of Raw Vegetables

Recently my nutritionist – a health freak if ever there was one – suggested I eat raw vegetables like cabbage, kale, asparagus, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli, all of the cruciferous family, all packed with vital antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fibre, (relieving weekly straining bouts of constipation.) As for results he assured me with an assured smile I’d be stronger and feel years younger, though vouched cautiously I could expect a few typical but minor side-effects, but easily adjusted to, notably when spring sets in and my ears grow like spires and to everyone’s amazement I start hopping about, my libido supercharged after years of living celibate! – And as he sees me out with an aside and wink he says: You'd do well to forewarn the wife.
