Go Green and Feel Better

It's time we go Green with our Health as well as our planet. Going Green has never felt better, and it's never been easier. I want to pass along some fantastic info about a product I use to Go Green with my health every day. It's called True Greens, because it contains a huge amount of Super Foods all designed naturally to give your body what it needs to heal itself, removed toxins, prevent disease, and grow to be a healthier happier you. Here are the completely organic ingredients and just some of the health benefits found in True Greens. Organic Grasses and Algae: Wheat, Barley, Alfalfa, and Spirulina contribute to the immune system, cellular cleansing, and PH balancing.

Grains And Seeds: Soy, Rice, Bran, Flaxseed and Amaranth, provide fiber, essential fatty acids, and contribute to improved circulation.

Grape Seed Extract & Bilberry Extract: These provide compounds such as Oligoproanthocyanids and Anthocyanidins, which have shown strong anti-oxidant properties. Vegetable Blend: Broccoli, Spinach, Carrot, Kale, Tomato, and Shitake mushroom provide many phytonutrients that are instrumental in fighting many diseases.

Fruit Blend: Blueberry, Papaya, Pineapple, and Noni are a rich source of phytonutrients.

Others: Probiotics, FOS, enzymes, Lecithin, Tri-calcium, Phosphate, xanthan gum and Stevia. Probiotics provide beneficial intestinal flora, and enzymes are necessary for a variety of body functions.

Of these ingredients, one of my favorites is Spirulina. Spirulina has been said to be one of the most powerful super foods on the planet. One author, Mike Adams, writes in his book Super Foods for Optimum Health, those Algae's like Spirulina have Astounding health benfits that been effective in treating and even reversing conditions such as

o Cancers (all types, Spirulina contains phycocyanin, a potent anti-cancer phytochemical that also gives spirulina its characteristic blue hue.)

o Obesity

o Diabetes

o Hypoglycemia

o Arthritis

o Depression

o Severe liver damage and liver disorders

o Intestinal ulcers

o Hemorrhoids

o Asthma

o High blood pressure

o Constipation

o Bleeding gums

o Infections

o Inflammation of joints and tissues

o Body odor / breath odor

o Various degenerative diseases

o Essential fatty acid deficiencies

o Mineral deficiencies (magnesium is a common deficiency)

He continues on to say that Spirulina is particularly useful for:

o People with poor digestion and assimilation (these micro-algae are easy to digest and absorb)

o People with poor vitality and anemia

o Individuals who consumer large quantities of animal protein (the micro-algae protein, in contrast, is easier to digest and offers a far healthier balance of minerals)

o People who eat refined or processed foods

o People who take prescription drugs (spirulina protects the kidneys and liver)

o People who are overweight or obese

o People who engage in physical exercise and / or strength training

o People with low energy levels (feeling depleted, exhausted, etc.)

In fact Spirulina have been described as "the perfect food:" Many health officials and Wellness Practitioners admit the power behind the Super Food Spirulina.

"Spirulina's predigested protein is a superior source of digestible protein. Contains 12 times the protein of beef and provides building materials soon after ingestion, without the energy-draining side effects of meat protein; its mucopolysaccharides relax and strengthen connective tissue while reducing the possibility of inflammation; its simple carbohydrates yield immediate yet sustained energy; its GLA fatty acids improve hormonal balance; and its protein-bonded vitamins and minerals, as found in all whole foods, assimilate better than the synthetic variety. Spirulina can generally be considered an appropriate food for those who exercise vigorously, as evidenced by the many world-class athletes who use it." - Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford

"It is possible that the GLA found in spirulina and possibly these other products accounts for some of the positive effects that people experience when using them, including decreased appetite, weight loss, and improved energy levels, especially mental energy. I personally have used all of these products and must say I have experienced a subtle increase in mental clarity and alertness (not like a nervous, caffeine-type stimulation). These algae must subtly stimulate our nervous systems or release certain internal neurochemicals that create this 'up' feeling." - Staying Healthy With Nutrition by Elson Haas, M.D.

"The plants richest in chlorophyll-the micro-algae and cereal grasses-were cited earlier as good sources of magnesium. Green plants also have the greatest concentration of calcium of any food; because of their magnesium, chlorophyll, and other calcium cofactors, increasing the consumption of green plants often is a simple solution to calcium problems." - Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford

For those of us trying to diet and lose weight, here is a clip from Mike Adams book Super Foods for Optimum Health: "In various clinical studies, micro-algae have been shown to be remarkably effective for weight loss. There are primarily two reasons for this: the correction of nutritional deficiencies, and the addition of GLA to the diet. On the nutritional deficiencies topic, obesity is the result of not only the over-consumption of calories, but more importantly, a dysfunctional endocrine system that results in the excess secretion of insulin and, subsequently, intense cravings for refined foods. That's why people get overweight even when they don't want to: the cravings are simply too strong to ignore. By supplying the body with the nutrients it needs, however, those cravings can be dramatically reduced and the endocrine system can be brought back into a state of balance. These nutrients are best provided spirulina. That's how these superfoods help people lose weight.

Of course, true weight loss won't occur from simply consuming these superfoods: they only create the proper environment for weight loss. The person must still alter their diet by removing refined foods, hydrogenated oils, all sugars, and other weight-promoting substances. Without that step, the weight will never come off. Just as importantly, a person who doesn't take up a habit of regular physical exercise will rarely lose body fat, no matter what their diet. The second factor in micro-algae that supports weight loss is the presence of GLA in spirulina. This essential fatty acid helps regulate blood sugar and control insulin, which naturally leads to reduced carbohydrate binging. And spirulina is the richest natural source of GLA on planet Earth. There's simply no better way to get GLA into your diet than making spirulina part of your daily diet. Clearly spirulina should be supplemented as part of the nutritional approach to any weight less effort. They can greatly reduce cravings, provide much-needed nutrition to the body, and serve as outstanding sources for obesity-busting substances like GLA. But they can't get up and do your exercises for you."
