5 Reasons You Should Use A Greens Powder
5 Reasons You Should Use A Greens Powder
Let's face it, most vegetables aren't as palatable as we'd like. We can fancy them up, add seasonings, and mix them in our food to try and disguise them— but most of us still don't like them. That's okay, we're not here to make you feel bad about the foods you like and the foods you don't.
Regardless of whether or not you're a fan of eating vegetables, their benefits can't be denied. That's why greens powders like Greens Factor are gaining popularity.
Here's 5 reasons you should be using a greens powder:
1. Improved Digestion
A bloated stomach isn't normal, neither is constipation. These things affect our daily lives more than we would like to admit.
A healthy greens powder will help to reduce bloat, and eliminate constipation.
This is done through a combination of high quality greens, digestive enzymes, and probiotics.
2. Missing Nutrients
If you're not super hungry or dieting, chances are pretty good that you're not eating enough vegetables.
Most of us don't, and that's okay. A high quality greens supplement will help to fill in those missing nutrient gaps in our diets.
3. Superfoods
Superfoods are foods that are packed with nutritional value, but in a small caloric package. In a way, all of the ingredients in a greens product can be a superfood because they offer so many nutrients in such a small, low calorie powder.
Superfoods are generally foods you're not going to eat in your normal diet, beyond regular vegetables. Things like:
Dark leafy greens
Grasses
Algae
-
Seaweed
All of these superfoods are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, as well as phytonutrients— nutrients made by plants that have a positive effect on your health. Out of all of these, Spirulina may be the most important and nutrient-packed (which is why it's our #1 ingredient in Greens Factor).
4. Skin, Hair & Nails
What we eat and how we look are directly correlated. If you're going to eat low quality, highly processed food then you're going to see that reflected in your skin, hair, and nails.
The opposite is also true, if you feed your body the right nutrients you're going to see the difference in your skin, hair, and nails.
Greens provide the nutrients for us to look our best and feel our best, including:
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Folate
Beta Carotene
Chlorophyll
-
Lutein
5. Immune Boosting Power
There's a lot that goes into your immune system, but one important key is making sure you have all the right nutrients. Without the right vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, your immune system has to work much harder to stay healthy. A strong immune system is invaluable and highly beneficial— more than we might realize.
A strong immune system doesn't just keep us from getting sick. A strong immune system helps us take care of others that are sick. It helps us to keep working when the bills are piling up. A strong immune system helps us deal with the stress of life without succumbing to illness and further delays.
What to look for in a high quality greens product:
Full Disclosure Label
If there's a proprietary blend on your greens product, take it as a warning. A proprietary blend hides the formula behind a 'blend' so you're unsure of how much of each ingredient is included in your formula.
Companies that do this must not be proud of the amounts of ingredients they're putting in. Most likely, they're more interested in making their label look good rather than showing exactly how much of each ingredient is in their greens product.
Don't fall for the proprietary blended greens products. You want to know what is in your product, and exactly what you're getting.
High Quality Sources of Greens
Not all greens sources are created equal. Some, like superfoods, are much more nutrient dense than others.
The goal is to have a combination of multiple sources of high quality greens— like Spirulina, Kale, Broccoli, and Chlorella.
Probiotics & Enzymes for Improved Digestion
Greens do a fantastic job at improving our health and providing the nutrients we need, but only if we're able to properly digest and utilize them.
That's why a high quality greens product should have both extra enzymes and probiotics.
The combination of greens, probiotics, and enzymes is fantastic and works incredibly well together to enhance digestion.
