Getting Enough Fruits and Vegetables?

Who wouldn't be healthier if we ate more fruits and vegetables, particularly organic ones? The minimum requirement for daily intake is 5-6 servings of various colors of fruits and veggies. For optimum health it is recommended that we consume 8-10 servings. In my opinion, when we consider the amount of junk that we either put in our body, or gets into our body through the environment (city living, toxins on foods we take in, 2nd hand smoke) and toxins that are created in our body from stress, it is important to go for more than the minimum. We should be shooting for the higher amounts for optimum health, and preferably organically grown. If you read my stuff regularly, you know how I preach eating well, moving well, thinking well and resting well. The fruits and vegetables are a major part of eating well.

So, you say to me, how in the world can we get 8-10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables a day? Good question. On my best days, I can only get about 4-5 and they are usually not organic. Years ago, I began investigating ways to consume more. I found many supplements that either tasted horrible, or were attached to a multi-level marketing program. (OK, so that I don't get any rants, I have nothing against MLM's in general, I just don't want to carry their products in my office, to avoid the appearance of selling products for reasons other than optimum health). I checked out two different ones particularly. One was called Greens First, and the other was called NanoGreens 10. Both products were palatable, and both had a good track record, but one showed better absorption rates than the other. That was the product we've chosen to carry in our office.

NanoGreens10 won out. Since beginning to use it personally, I've been sick much less, and felt my energy levels increased drastically. Patients have enjoyed similar results in our office and many are continuing to use the NanoGreens and it's associated products (more on the other products later). Other testimonials include improved bloodwork, decreased blood pressure, better digestion and more. Their website can be viewed at www.superfoodsolution.com

This is NOT a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables, it is a SUPPLEMENT. Please don't use this to replace your intake of fruits and veggies. It is always best to go with the real thing.

In addition to the NanoGreens, there is also NanoPro (a great protein supplement), NanOmega 3 (a vegan source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids) and now NanoReds which is similar to NanoGreens but with a focus on red fruits such as pomegranate. The greens and reds drink when used daily (1 scoop in water or juice) is the equivalent 8-10 servings of ORGANIC fruits and vegetables daily, in addition to other great ingredients for your health.

The questions I want you to ponder are "Are you getting the optimum level of fruits and vegetables daily?", "Do you think you would be healthier if you did?", "How tough is it for you to consume enough?" and "Would you like to consume the equivalent of 8-10 servings daily?". If so, the NanoGreens and NanoReds products may be for you. You can add in some of the other products for a very healthy "Superfood Solution Shake" that can act as a meal replacement for you to help in healthy weight maintenance.

All of these products are very affordable. If you use one scoop of NanoGreens, it costs about $1.66 providing the equivalent of 8-10 servings of organic fruits and veggies. For a healthy shake, the combination of 3 of the products would run a approximately $4.50. Where else can you get that kind of nutrition for that kind of price?

Go to their website and read the study on High Blood Pressure, a study that was duplicated and found substantial reductions in blood pressure by just using the NanoGreens. Also on there are multiple testimonials that you can read through that are very compelling. Check out the entire site and learn about the company, it's worth the time investment.

We are excited about how this product can affect people's health and move them a HUGE step forward toward total wellness! If you have questions about these products you'd like to ask, view the website or or give us a call or email!

Until next time, BE WELL!
