About Green Drinks

 

Health through good nutrition and protection

Healthy green drinks, such as EnvyGreens, are taken to accomplish several goals including weight loss, suppress cravings, nutritional intake of complete vitamins and minerals, slow the aging process and formation of diseases and health issues.  Greens and especially sea sourced greens have the highest content of minerals to feed and boost metabolism.  These minerals are also important to the look and integrity of our bone, muscle, skin, hair and nails. Some green drinks such as EnvyGreens are an excellent source of nutrition, antioxidants and detoxification. Since many people who consume green drinks also take other supplements such as probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes are included in Envygreens green drink.

Detoxification

You can find many articles on the web about detoxification and detoxifying foods.  However, you will find very little detail however on the specifics of how they work.  You will though see that most detoxifying diets include a large dose of greens.  Mother nature gave us a body with a great ability to handle toxins.  The chief organs involved in this are the liver and lymphatic system.  A quality green drink will support detoxification and inflammations by helping to strengthen your system without adding new toxins.  EnvyGreens may help by providing nutrients such as milk thistle, maca, tumeric and green tea catachins (polyphenols) to gently strengthen the detoxification systems of the body therefore helping protect it.

Acid and Alkaline...Typically because we are short on time we typically eat a diet that is too high in proteins, sugary carbonated drinks, fast foods, and fats and few vegetables. Acidity is known to be produced by stress, heavy meat consumption, processed foods, sodas, chemicals, smoking and sugars. Also acid production can result from beneficial functions such as lactic acid created during strenuous exercise.

Greens are known for being especially effective at alkalizing and reducing acidity aiding the body toward a healthy pH. If we consume a predominately alkalizing diet we prevent our body from having to draw  upon alkalizing minerals from the bones to help maintain this proper body pH. Quality green drinks should also include a wide variety of different plants to help benefit from the various nutrients and antioxidants available in a diverse mixture. Is your green drink affective at alkalizing?  To find out, during a period where you are not taking your green drink measure your urine pH with litmus paper (available at your health food store) and note your morning pH.  Go back to using your green drink and again measure your pH.  If your green drink is affective it should move you toward an alkaline pH.  For a blood pH of 7.4 your urine pH should be approximately 6.0 to 6.5.

Greens from EnvyGreens drink, like barley grass, contain components such as chlorophyll. The part of a plant that most resembles blood in humans. Greens such as barley grass, spirulina and watercress have an abundance of chlorophyll helping enrich blood hemoglobin with oxygen. Also, the high content of magnesium found in greens has been reported to enhance sex hormones. As a society we tend to be depleted of important minerals.

Chlorophyll is also a known neutralizer of chemical toxins (detoxification) to the liver and has beneficial anti-biotic effects. Blood sugar is also more regulated when chlorophyll is consumed, helping those with hypoglycemia and those trying to reduce body fat. EnvyGreens contains important chlorophyll rich greens enhancing the oxygen to the bloodstream.  Metabolism and effective weight loss is also directly related to the utilization of oxygen.  Basil metabolic rate (BMR) is determined by the amount of oxygen used by the body. Including oxygen rich whole food nutrients, as in Envygreens, helps to better balance and regulate metabolism for weight loss success.

 Antioxidants and weight loss

Green tea catachins (polyphenols) is the known leader of antioxidant super foods for weight loss. Blueberries, acai berries, broccoli, spinach and apple hit the top ten list. EnvyGreens contains each of these high antioxidant-rich Superfoods. Greens from land and sea sources are rich in minerals, trace minerals and antioxidants to stimulate the metabolism, create balance within the body and help reduce unnessessary cravings.

To further increase the antioxidant value of green drinks, other "Superfoods" with very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity) values are added.  Unstable molecules known as free radicals float around with an uneven number of electrons.  Free radicals search and try to bond with other molecules to become stable or balanced.  In this search and bonding they have the ability to bond with dangerous "junk" molecules bringing about disease and alter DNA.  Antioxidants in superfoods have the ability to donate the missing molecule to the free radical eliminating an unhealthy molecule.

Balance pH

 A healthy human body is slightly alkaline. The optimum blood pH range is 7.35 to 7.45. Deviation from this range can cause health issues, and if taken to extremes can cause death. The human body has many critical chemical processes taking place which keep us healthy and alive. If the pH range drifts away from the normal range it will react as discussed above to bring it back into the normal range and maintain normal function.

We have all heard about other cultures that do not consume dairy (a high source of calcium) but do consume a predominately large diet of vegetables. Why are they not as afflicted with diseases such as osteoporosis (deterioration of the bone)? Maybe they are not putting their body in such an acidic state in the first place and their bones and teeth are not compromised.

Green drinks are known for their alkalizing effect on the body. Why is this important? The typical diet, along with stress, smoking, alcohol, pollution, etc., brings an abundance of acid to our system. Our unique body will always try to maintain a certain blood PH. If the body is bombarded with too much acidity the body will draw from alkaline sources such as the calcium and other minerals from our bones and teeth to help maintain the proper pH. This helps the body in the short term, but over time it can lead to osteoporosis, weight gain, circulatory disease and other problems. Little by little our bones and body are compromised becoming brittle and weak. Excess acids are also stored as solids in the form of fats, cholesterol being one of them. Being too acidic will also cause the pancreas to work overtime providing more of its pancreatic fluid to alkalize our food. The pancreas is responsible for our insulin levels and therefore can have a direct relationship to hypoglycemia and even diabetes.  Also, being dehydrated or not drinking enough water will cause an increase in acidity and over tax the kidneys. This result can affect our blood pressure and certain inflammations.  One helpful solution to this would be to drink your green drink (more alkaline forming) chased by 8 to 10 cups of water daily.
