Green Energy gives you the energy while supplying your body with all the nutrients it needs to sustain that energy. We have carefully picked our ingredients to give you the healthy boost you need.
Here is a little break down of the fresh ingredients we use and why they are hella good for you.
Spinach-
One of spinach’s more
well-known health benefits is fiber. One
cup of spinach accounts for 20% of our daily dietary fiber alone which aids
digestion to prevent constipation, maintains low blood sugar levels, and can
also curb overeating. Spinach also has
anti-cancer properties called flavonoids.
This property slows the division of these cells.
Parsley-
Parsley is packed with essential vitamins C, B 12, K and A
which keeps your immune system strong, nurtures your nervous system and tones
your bones. Parsley is a key herb for supporting
healthy kidney function as it helps flush out excess fluids from the body and
can help control blood pressure with the folic acid that it contains.
Kale-
Kale is one of the greatest super foods there is. It is extremely low in calorie and has zero
fat. Much like spinach, kale is great for aiding digestions with its high fiber
content and contains more iron than beef which is very important for healthy
cell growth and proper liver function. It’s
also packed with vitamins A, C, K, calcium, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty
acids.
Celery-
Celery is a great aid in weight loss because of its filling
fiber and low calories. It also helps
flush out any excess fluid from the body with its high potassium and sodium
content. Celery is very good for your
immune system and contains lots of vitamin C.
Cucumber-
Cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamins B, B1, B6, C,
and D, folate, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and potassium. What does that mean for you? Well, with the high content in fiber,
cucumbers are used to aid in weight loss and digestion and are very effective
in ridding the body of toxins. They also
help promote joint health, relieves gout, arthritis pain, reduce cholesterol, and controls blood pressure.
Apples-
We’ve all heard the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor
away.” But why? What are in apples that keep us so
healthy? Eating apples and drinking apple juice fights against the effects
of aging on the brain which means apples can directly affect Alzheimer’s and
Parkinon’s and possibly keep it away. In
addition to your brain, apples have a direct affect on your pancreas. Eating apples can reduce your risk of
pancreatic cancer by 23% and studies have shown that women who eat at least one
apple a day are 28% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Eating apples is
heart-healthy, lowers cholesterol, controls your weight, detoxifies your liver,
boosts your immune system, and neutralizes digestion and irritable bowel
syndrome.
Lemons-
Have you ever felt the sting of lemon juice on an open
wound? The sting is actually the citrus
in the lemon trying to fight against infections in your body and around your
wounds. Eating and drinking lemons will
allow the citrus to fight any infections that are inside your body. Lemons also help lower cholesterol and
increase the levels of HDL which are the good cholesterol. Lemon juice can relieve gingivitis,
stomatitis and inflammation of the tongue.
It is also preventative for the common cold, urinary tract infections, can relieve colic pain, gastric problems, can prevent and cure
osteoarthritis.
Ginger-
Ginger is great for all sorts of remedies to preventative
treatment. Ginger is a helpful remedy
for morning sickness, motion sickness, heartburn, migraines and menstrual cramp
relief. Ginger is also used to prevent
diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage) and can also prevent the cold, flu,
ovarian and colon cancer.
