Greening your Life!

If you are like me, you watch what you eat, live a little to excess occasionally and then try and get back on track to make up for life's indulgences.

I recently became aware of the acid/alkaline make up of food and was surprised to learn how many foods we eat, that we think are good for us are in actual fact turned to acidic content within our body. For example, lemons are alkaline to our systems and yet milk is acidic! It's almost to the point where you can actually be too obsessed with what you eat for fear of doing the wrong thing by your body. The addition of so many food additives these days is another area for concern but we will leave that alone for the moment.

Browsing through a health food store, not looking for anything in particular, I came across a supplement that could be making the difference to my life. Lately I have been very well (all things considered), I haven't had a cold for well over a year, I've stopped drinking coffee which means I'm relying on my body's natural ability to 'wake up', and I'm sleeping much better.

So, what's different in my life? Called simple Alkaline Super Foods, I've been taking this fine, green powder which is made up of certified organic barley grass, wheat grass and alfalfa leaf. A power punch of nature's green eatible goodness!!!!!

The nutritional information section on the jar reads more like the credits at the end of the movie. Everything is covered!!!! It's quite amazing....vitamins, minerals, amino acids - the list is comprehensive.

Designed to boost your immune system, offer enhanced energy levels and have you feeling fabulous, this fully Australian product is definitely worth having a look at. Unlike many supplements, it's actually quite pleasant to take (I add it to juice in the morning) and reminds me of cut grass - not that I have even eaten cut grass.....

I don't have it, but you can also purchase an alkaline focused cookbook from the same company. Some great and simple recipes that look tasty and filling.
