Enhance Your Diet With Antioxidants!
Recently a client of mine came to me very excited about a new product she tried – being an extreme fitness enthusiast and having allergies to things like soy, wheat, gluten and dairy she has to be very careful of the food choices she makes. Earths Promise is a supplement powder that contains vitamins and minerals and is super high in antioxidants and fiber. Working out is great for you but a lot of people don’t know that while you are excercising your body is realeasing extra Free Radicals. Free Radicals are basically unbalanced oxygen molucules inside your cells that have split and don’t have the right balance of electrons. In order to find that balance these free radicals will latch on to healthy cells and try to steal those electrons to bring itself back to balnce – thus doing damage to your healthy cells. Antioxidants carry with them extra electrons and fix the free radicals by bringing them back into balance without harming your healthy cells! Now don’t get me wrong if you already eat a great balanced diet – your body actually produces its own anti-oxidants, however if you are working out regularly and are finding it hard to get in all those fruits and veges – some extra antioxidants could be just what you need to fill in the gaps.
Being the skeptic that I am – I made her bring me some to sample! Wow Bernadette THANKS!!!! This stuff is awesome – I tried the purple packet wich contains your whole daily allotment of vitamins and nutrients from 5 of the fruits and veggies that are purple. I mixed it in with my Vanilla High Five Protien Shake and not only does it taste great but it really provides a huge increase in my energy! Their line also has other colors like green, red and orange. For all of you out there who don’t care for veggies – this is the product I would highly reccomend. You can make popsicles with it, add it into pancake mix for the family, muffins…. the possibilities are endless! You can purchase it online through the link above or pick it up locally here in Lodi at Healthy Ways on Kettleman Lane.
