Green Cell Therapy: Detoxify, Alkalinize with Vitagreen

WHY DO WE NEED GREEN SUPERFOOD SUPPLEMENTS?



If you live on an average American/Western diet you need to consider taking additional vitamin and mineral supplements. Ideally it shouldn’t be necessary. The best way to maintain health is to eat a balanced diet consisting of organic, ripe and raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and whole grains just to mention some of the most important foods. But even then we may find that we lack vital minerals and vitamins. Firstly, we don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables. Secondly, those we eat are low in nutrients.

Green superfood adds nutrients that our food lacks.

The truth is that conventionally grown fruit and vegetables may be nutritionally deficient; The soil they are grown on are depleted and out of balance, missing important vitamins and minerals. In addition the fruit and vegetables are routinely sprayed with such a broad selection of anti fungals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides and dozens of other types of toxic chemicals that they may actually contain more harmful ingredients than good ingredients. As a result people suffer from deficient in nutrients and that again leads to disease.

Ideally we should buy organic vegetables from farmers that have been organically farming for many years.

Consider organic green superfood supplements to correct deficiencies and prevent disease.

Even if all fruit and vegetables had optimal levels of vitamins- and minerals most people don’t consume enough to satisfy their daily needs. My advice is that you include some organic raw and green superfoods in your diet to avoid and correct any deficiencies. These green powders provide your body with many of the essential vitamins, minerals and other substances that is needed for optimal health. You only need a small amount daily of a high organic quality green superfood supplement to cover all your bodies needs, if you combine it with a healthy diet.

Look for this in you green superfood supplement:

Should be made of organic ingredients.
Should be made of wild crafted ingredients.
Should have ingredients from seaweeds.
Should have as many super foods as possible, like kale, horsetail, spinach, nettles, parsley, alfalfa, wheat grass, oat grass, and barley grass to mention just a few.
Should have spirulina and chlorella added (algae).
Should contain probiotics.
Should contain enzymes.
Should contain enzymatically active sprouts.
Should be free from fillers.
Should be free from preservatives.
Should be free from sweeteners.
No GMO products.
Should be fresh freeze-dried or cold-dried.


A Green superfood supplements is also good for Mother Earth.

All the chemicals we use also have a big impact on our nature. Our goal should be to gradually shift to organic products. We find toxic chemicals in so many different products that we use and surround our self by daily, not only in fruit and vegetables. We find chemicals in cosmetics, body care products, kid’s toys and clothing’s, just to mention a few. Change to organically produced products and Mother Earth and your kids will thank you.

Green superfood powders are not a replacement for fruits and vegetables.

Organic green superfood supplements are meant as just that, a supplement, and not as a replacement for fruit and vegetables or other healthy whole foods.

Probiotics, a comparison and shopping guide



 A probiotic is an organism which contributes to the health and balance of the intestinal tract. A probiotic is also referred to as the "friendly", "beneficial", or "good" bacteria which when ingested acts to maintain a healthy intestinal tract and help fight illness and disease.

You can add probiotics to your diet through nutritional supplements or foods such as yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, and some juices and soy drinks. Read product labels carefully, looking for a statement that the product contains "live and active cultures," such as lactobacillus.

Although more research is needed, there's encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:

Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Speed treatment of certain intestinal infections
Prevent and treat eczema in children
Prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu
Some researchers believe probiotics may improve general health.

Most people can safely add probiotic foods to a healthy diet. If you're considering taking probiotic supplements, check with your doctor to make sure the supplements are right for you.Align and Culturelle are probably the two most commonly know probiotic supplements so it is important to understand the differences between them.

The most important point to remember is that each of these supplements contain a different probiotic.

Culturelle Lactobacillus GG, Inulin (prebiotic)
CFU in one capsule/tablet/dose 10 billion
