The Thing About Green Juice Smoothies
Hey, folks! Kawaya here with some insight on smoothies.
With flavors to make your tastebuds dance, a Green Juice Smoothie is typically filled with lots of essential micronutrients that improve your health with every sip! The ingredients for the Fusion Care GoGreen recipe include spinach, kale, green apple, lemon, and honey. Now I know you’re probably wondering how exactly these ingredients impact your health.
To start your day off strong, spinach is a great source of folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin E, C, K1, and magnesium. I hope all my pregnant mommies out there have a notepad ready! These vitamins/minerals are super beneficial to your immune system and provide the intestine-cleaning fiber that your body craves. Oh, but the list doesn’t stop there! Spinach may seem boringly green but under its leafy layer lies other health benefits such as oxidative stress prevention, eye protection, cancer prevention, and blood pressure regulation.
To sustain your day, kale can keep you pumping with Vitamin A, K, C, B6, and magnesium. Not only that but it also serves as a good source of Manganese and Potassium. I know, I know….some of these micronutrients sound like a drone name from Star Wars but they carry such important roles in the composition of the body. Including kale within your weekly diet will put you in a better position to prevent heart disease and/or fight cancer.
Now for our lovely fruits, they do a lot more than just taste good! According to WebMD, “Eating as few as a couple of green apples each week may reduce your chances of developing type 2 diabetes, according to one study, though more research needs to be done..” Moreover, green apples contain Pectin, which is a compound that helps the healthy bacteria grow in your gut. If you suffer from indigestion or just want to improve your digestive system, our Go Green juice can help you get one step closer to your health goals.
As for lemon and honey, they’re pretty great separate but even better together. I mean helloooo…lemon and honey water! Seriously though, lemons are LOADED with vitamin c, fiber, and various beneficial plant compounds. They can help to control weight, prevent kidney stones, protect against anemia, reduce cancer risk, and improve digestive health. Honey on the other hand, is a good source of antioxidants and vitamins/minerals. But GET THIS, according to HealthLine, “the polyphenols in honey may be able to counter inflammation in the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in memory”. If you’re like me and sometimes forget things, this ingredient will definitely be a saving grace.
When thinking about these health facts sometimes it can feel like a distant concept and that is why I’m here! Let me tell you something that someone wise once told me, “your health is your wealth”. If you want to increase the chances of you living a long, abundant life, it starts with how you take care of your mind, body and soul. Remember, it’s never too late to begin the journey towards better health. So go ahead and place an order of our Go Green juice! Who knew healthy could taste so good.
