WHY GREENS?
“Greens can be very alkaline which helps to
balance dietary acids, however if you find you
are consuming at least 10 servings of fruits and
vegetables per day than supplementing with a
Greens supplement wouldn’t be necessary” (1).
Statistically, since most of us are not consuming
10 servings of fruits or veggies every single day
which is why taking this supplement can be very
beneficial to the person who is always on the go
or doesn’t have enough time to eat the required
servings.
As a strength training athlete or
someone who just regularly
goes to the gym to stay
physically fit, taking this
supplement helps decrease the
acid that is built up from doing
constant sets and reps in the
gym. We all know that protein
products are one of the main
sources of recovery
supplements that the majority
of us take, but without proper
fruits (Antioxidants) and
vegetables (Phytonutrients) this
can increase acid production
which hinders recovery.
Therefore, alkalizing your body
by eating 10 servings of fruits or
vegetables a day or taking 1
scoop of high concentrated
Greens Superfoods will help
with recovery, natural energy
production, reduces
inflammation, helps intestinal
health, helps mood elevation,
helps reduce appetite, and lastly
helps with detoxification within
the body.
