There is a lot of talk about supplements. Those who like it and use it, believe in it. The medical professional seem to be divided when it comes to supplements.
Of course, there are people, who could be never convinced to take some but only believe in drugs.
Now that we get more insight into what top athletes do, we hear more about their supplementation and health regime.
I have been taking nutritional supplements for more than a decade now. I took some even before, but never felt a difference.
However, it is exactly 10 years ago now that I came across Herbalife and with that my opinion about supplements and what they can do has changed.
Since that I select very carefully what kind of supplements I take. There are better and better supplements available in the market. I know Herbalife supplements work.
Another that is innovative is Flavon Max, the Hungarian fruit and vegetable jam consistency supplements that are one of the best if not the best on the market right now. They also have been examined by the US Brunswick Laboratory to test their antioxidant power their ORAC.
The highest on the market, there is no competition right now. Flavon is like eating your grandmothers home made jam made from rare and hard to get berries and fruits and vegetables. Carefully designed to give the body the full benefit in all areas of health, there are different flavours: Flavon Max, Flavon Green, Flavon Kids, Flavon Max Plus, Flavon Protect, Flavon Active and the new one, Flavon Joy.
Another, Australian vegetable supplement that is quietly proving to be very beneficial when it comes to daily usage is Vital Greens.
This vegetable green powder supplement has quite a nice taste, it blends very well in a shake or smoothie. I am not a choosy person and don't have much problem with flavours but some green powders and supplements test me when it comes to drinking or taking them. I have a mild seafood sensitivity and I pick right away seaweed, chlorella and spirulina or other things as ingredients. I only had a mild "dislike" feeling at the first time then I lost any sensitivity or dislike drinking my morning green shake that consisted of 250ml water, a banana, a scoop of Herbalife Formula 1 (in any flavour but I find the best the Vanilla flavour as it blends well with the greens) and a scoop or two Vital Greens.
Right after the first days I noticed that my back pain reduced and some of the joint swellings went away. I noticed an energy increase right in the first days then at the end of the first day I got a little lethargic and needed more sleep and I started to sneeze. These are my usual signs of detoxing. It did not last longer than 2-3- days and since, I am a happy user of Vital Greens!
Keeping this green shake or smoothie in your mouth and swishing it around a little revitalises the health of your gums and whitens your teeth.
When you prepare a substantial, strong shake or smoothie first thing in the morning or take it last thing at night, in the long term you will be able to manage your weight, too. Your body get the necessary mix of great nutrients and starts rebuilding, revitalising, healing and rejuvenating itself. Replacing a meal with this nutrient dense drink you increase nutrition but cut back on calories. The long term benefits of using a supplement like Vital Greens long term is incredibly good. You will notice aches and pains reduce or even go away, your nails and hair grow much faster and improve in quality and your energy level will increase. When you look at all the ingredients and variety of greens you get daily, it would be extremely hard to eat such a variety vegetables in such quantities.
Of course, good diet, eating healthy, living food can not be replaced by supplements. Supplement is a supplement, as the name says. Make sure that your daily diet contains plenty of fresh fruit, a great variety of seasonal vegetables, fermented foods, quality meat if you are a meat eater, lots of good quality fish and, most importantly, drink plenty of fresh water. Take good rest and exercise. Seek quality relationships, good friends and laugh a lot. Enjoy nature and spend as much time outdoors as possible. Live a good life!
