Vital Greens is vital to your good health

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.

Vital Greens was developed in Australia in the year 2000 by two Sydney based naturopaths. Vital Greens is an easily absorbed carefully balanced blend of essential nutrients, extracted from natural dense greens, vegetables and fruits.
With 76 ingredients in every serve, Vital Greens is an all-in-one comprehensive daily multi-nutrient. Two heaped teaspoons are loaded with vitamins and minerals, high levels of antioxidants, pre and probiotics, essential fatty acids, fibre and our uniquely alkaline pea protein – all of this to help provide your daily nutritional requirements.
Vital Greens is vegan, and is free from gluten, dairy, wheat and artificial flavours and sweeteners.
Vital Greens is available in 120g, 300g, 600g & 1kg tubs, and a 30 x 10g sachet box.Vitamin supplements should not replace a healthy diet. Do not take whilst on warfarin therapy without medical advice.
We recommend consulting with a health care professional whilst pregnant or lactating.

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!

Vers Mindenkinek

Petõfi Sándor:  

SZEPTEMBER VÉGÉN

Még nyílnak a völgyben a kerti virágok,
Még zöldel a nyárfa az ablak előtt,
De látod amottan a téli világot?
Már hó takará el a bérci tetőt.
Még ifju szivemben a lángsugarú nyár
S még benne virít az egész kikelet,
De íme sötét hajam őszbe vegyűl már,
A tél dere már megüté fejemet.

Elhull a virág, eliramlik az élet...
Űlj, hitvesem, űlj az ölembe ide!
Ki most fejedet kebelemre tevéd le,
Holnap nem omolsz-e sirom fölibe?
Oh mondd: ha előbb halok el, tetemimre
Könnyezve borítasz-e szemfödelet?
S rábírhat-e majdan egy ifju szerelme,
Hogy elhagyod érte az én nevemet?

Ha eldobod egykor az özvegyi fátyolt,
Fejfámra sötét lobogóul akaszd,
Én feljövök érte a síri világból
Az éj közepén, s oda leviszem azt,
Letörleni véle könyűimet érted,
Ki könnyeden elfeledéd hivedet,
S e szív sebeit bekötözni, ki téged
Még akkor is, ott is, örökre szeret!

(Koltó, 1847. szeptember.)
