Freshness Test
Collard Greens are usually as a bunch of leaves. Choose the leaves that are slightly smaller. Try to avoid buying Collard Greens which are yellow looking or withered.
Important
Due to the fact that Collard Greens are a green juice, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice.
Collard greens are high in oxalic acid and should be avoided by those who suffer from or are at risk for kidney stones, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and those whose stomach is easily irritated. Read my notes on oxalic acid for more information.
General
Greens are very nutritious foods. Greens are generally speaking harder to digest when you eat them raw due to cellulose walls. When you juice the greens, you extract the nutrients thus bypassing the cellulose walls.
Collard greens are a really good source of calcium while being low in phosphorus. Take a look at the nutritional analysis to see how much calcium is in collard greens.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.
Unlike flow yoga
, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.
Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.
If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
