Superfoods for a Super You
How can something as simple as implementing specific foods supercharge our lives for lower stress, better sleep, and more energy?
As Hippocrates famously said “Let thy food by thy medicine.”
By putting in the highest quality inputs, we will see the highest possible outputs.
These are what we have named “Superfoods”.
Superfoods are simply highly nutrient dense foods that nourish our body at a high level. Nutrient dense meaning the amount of vitamins & minerals per unit is jam packed with beneficial nutrients.
There are numerous levels to our optimal health beyond nutrition, but if you think of your food as equivalent to gas for your car, your body cannot run without food. If we are eating at least 3 times per day, this is likely an area that can make or break us, yes?
The link between health and food is clear. If we put two twins in front of you where one eats McDonald’s every day and then the other who eats organic superfoods every day, I think anyone can immediately see the difference. One will likely be overweight, with poor skin, may have foul odor, and simply look run down. The other will likely look fit, clear skin, with a “glow” to them.
One of the most simple ways we can make the shift to better health to begin implementing these superfoods into our daily lives. Most of us do not meet the MINIMUM requirements recommended for vegetables, vitamins, and minerals.
This is where an Organic Greens Superfood drink can be a complete game changer. What if you choose to begin flooding the body with a highly nutritious, enzyme-rich drink rather than a fast-food breakfast every morning? What impact would that make on your day? How would you feel after a week? A month? A year? 10 years? If we look at making one small change a compounding effect, our body and mind will begin to reflect this new input with an equivalent output.
Let’s say you have had a bagel every morning for breakfast every day for a year. That is 365 bagels. Bagels, which typically have little to no nutritional value, likely contain glyphosate (a carcinogenic chemical used in non-organic agriculture on wheat crops), and cause inflammation in the body (non-organic gluten, dairy, sugar).
What if that was now replaced with an organic green drink every morning for one year? Now you’ve had 365 organic green drinks and 365 less bagels in one year. How different will your body react to that huge swing of nutrition? Every body is different, but I would guess more energy in the morning at the very least.
It becomes easy to see that every decision we make around food makes an impact that adds up quite significantly over time. We have the choice to make better choices everyday without breaking the convenience of the foods we enjoy.
If you are going to make one change to your diet that will make the most radical difference, try adding an organic green juice daily. You can do so without a juicer or any fancy equipment and without the need to spend $15 and drive to a juice bar everyday. You can get freeze-dried organic green juice in your home.
