Natural News Blog.9- “Wellnessman” Endorses Organic “Green” Smoothies
One of the best things to do for your health is to load up on as many organic vegetables with a bit of organic fruit as well. This can be difficult to do if you try to eat everything separately. That’s why “Wellnessman” offers an easy solution: buy a blender and mix in some veggies, with a little bit of fruit, and drink it instead. You want the majority of the mixture to be veggies. Some good ones to use are spinach, kale, cucumbers, celery and broccoli. Choose 2 or 3 as your foundation. “Wellnessman” always adds half a banana to “solidify” the mixture and give it more body. Then add one small portion of organic fruit such as: blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, and mango for a better flavor. Add a few ice cubes and then “blend it up”. To make this a meal substitute, “Wellnessman” adds a scoop of vegan protein powder (preferred) or organic whey protein and you now have a well-rounded meal without any white flour!
As a child, your mother probably had to force you to “eat your vegetables” before you could leave the table. One trick that “Wellnessman” has learned when eating vegetables is that by adding some extra virgin olive oil (preferably “organic”) it makes them both tastier and healthier. To go one step further, you want to have around 6-10 servings of vegetables each and every day. That is hard for most people to do, so “blending” or “juicing” (a different process of liquefying food) your veggies will make it easier to reach your daily goal. You always want the majority of the mixture to be vegetables over fruit due to their lower effect on raising your blood sugar.
The advantages of eating more vegetable and fruit are numerous due to their vitamin, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They work in conjunction with each other and have a synergistic effect within your body. This is not something that can easily be isolated in scientific testing! “Wellnessman” prefers organic over conventional produce in order to reduce your intake of pesticides and “GMO’s” (“Genetically Modified Organisms” made in a lab). So climb aboard the “Wellness Wagon” with “Wellnessman”, purchase a blender or juicer, and then start having organic “green-based” smoothies once or twice daily. Your body will thank you and the health benefits are enormous. You may even be able to get off some of your prescription medications! Walk strong… with orthotics.
