Good Morning Beautiful!
So today I want to discuss Shakeology, and what makes it so special compared to other products on the market. But, I also want to explain to you a few things about nutrition first. This way you will see why Shakeology is such an important part of your daily nutritional arsenal, and why it is, truly something special!
Did you know that the Department of Agriculture states that:
9 out of 10 Americans are deficient in potassium
8 out of 10 are deficient in vitamin E
7 out of 10 are deficient in calcium
50% are deficient in vitamin A, C, and magnesium?
Based on these numbers the likely hood that you are deficient in at least one of these groups is extremely high!
According to the Center For Disease Control (CDC):
More than half of the population is deficient in Vitamin D, which means that there is an immense need for supplementation.
All of the above statistics point to the fact that a large majority of our population is micronutrient deficient and in need of proper supplementation.
Research has shown micronutrient deficiency to be scientifically linked to a higher risk of being overweight/ obesity and other dangerous and debilitating diseases. With more than two-thirds of the U.S. population overweight or obese, and research showing that one-third are on a diet at any given time, a need existed to determine whether current popular diet plans could protect followers from micronutrient deficiency by providing the minimum levels of 27 micronutrients, as determined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) Reference Daily Intake (RDI) guidelines.
With that said, Vitamin Deficiency has been known to cause an 80% increase in the likelihood of becoming overweight/obese and is scientifically linked to other illnesses including; resistance to infection, birth defects, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, and osteoporosis, just to name a few. Thus, meaning that you are 80% more likely to develop one of these illnesses. The truth can be scary!
So, what do we do about this?? Do we just throw up our hands and continue to say oh well? Let me ask you this, if your child was ill and your pediatrician said the only way to help heal your child is to put your child on a special diet, take them to xyz specialists for xyz treatments, would you do it?? Of course you would! Well, this is no different, and that is where Shakeology comes in to play an important role in your health as well as your families.
Let’s talk about this amazing source of dense nutrition.
So what is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a whole food and vitamins all in one, that’s right you read that right, an actual whole food and vitamins!
It is not a weight loss shake nor a protein shake. It is literally just dense nutrition.
Shakeology contains 70 healthy ingredients
It does NOT contain artificial colors, flavors, sugars, soy, high fructose corn syrup.
It covers your basic nutrition needs for the day.
It is flexible in calories to meet individual needs
Because this is 100% nutrition you can even give it to your children at 1/3 of a scoop per day.
It contains Superfoods such as Adaptogens and Phytonutrients to help build your immune system and helps you become and internal powerhouse!
Reduces inflammation, which is the number 1 cause of all disease such as, migraines, eczema, heart disease and arthritis. They all start with chronic inflammation.
Repairs your GI Track: Digestive enzymes clean out your digestive track and primes it to absorb nutrients. Did you know that the nutrients from food is absorbed through the microvilli and the villi in our small intestines?
It is also certified low on the glycemic index.
So what has Shakeology done for me??
I have Celiac Disease, and to keep it brief on the explanation of what this autoimmune disease does, the villi and microvilli I described above gets block by the gluten in foods, which then prevented my body from absorbing nutrients. So I was seriously nutrient deficient. I started drinking Shakeology close to a year ago now, and I have had some major improvements in my health since then, and these are the changes that I have had happen:
I sleep so much better
I wake up feeling rested
I have more energy
I no longer NEED caffeine
I no longer crave bad foods, as a matter of fact yesterday, for example, I was actually craving brussel sprouts. LOL
My hair, skin, and nails are looking awesome these days. My skin glows, may nails are no longer brittle, and my hair is getting thicker and growing faster!
I have lost some weight
I haven’t gotten sick; not even a mild cold
I have saved money since I am replacing a meal with a shake. Gluten Free foods are not CHEAP! EEK!
I used to get headaches in the afternoon, I haven’t had one in over 11 months.
Brain Fog (which is a symptom of Celiac Disease) has not come into annoy me in over 10 months.
Oh and I have always bruised easily, but haven’t gotten a bruise in months, and trust me I am a klutz, I am always banging into something. LOL
That is all I can remember now, but as you can see, I have definitely had some major changes in my life since drinking Shakeology every day.
Now I do have to say, I am not a doctor, and since every body is different, results are not a guarantee. Please always speak to your doctor before starting a new supplement.
