Do I Need Happy Greens?
The benefits of a concentrated greens formula are worth looking into when it comes to boosting your overall health.
They’re known for packing a nutrient-rich punch as well as having the ability to . support our body's natural cleansing and alkalizing processes.
Most powdered greens contain a mixture of superfoods such as green vegetables, minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll, plant fibers, chlorella, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley, grass, alfalfa, and green tea extract. They may also come with other concentrated ingredients in herb forms such as Dandelion or Milk Thistle.
Happy Greens is unique because it does more than just alkalize and provide concentrated nutrients. It’s fermented and contains something called I3C which means a healthy gut and healthy oestrogen levels, too.
It can balance your hormones
If we don't break down and excrete unwanted hormones in the body, they get reabsorbed into our bloodstream via the digestive tract. This can create a two and three-fold effect on your hormones - since hormones are messengers.
Thankfully, Happy Greens contains both probiotics and a compound called Indole-3-carbinol, or I3C, which supports healthy hormone metabolism and oestrogen clearance through our liver and bowels.
I3C is produced from the breakdown of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale.
Added benefits to your health
Incorporating more green vegetables into our diet has been promoted as advantageous for conditions ranging from inflammation (arthritis) to anemia (iron deficiency).
Other health benefits associated with a green juice or greens supplement include:
- blood purification
- improved digestion
- enhanced immunity
- increased energy
- prevention of inflammatory conditions
- support of a healthy pH in the body
Why pH is so important
If your diet is acidic, it's easier for inflammatory diseases to manifest – heart disease, cancer, arthritis, Endometriosis and respiratory problems, just to name a few. It can also be harder to lose weight when your body is working so hard to maintain a healthy pH.
Many foods that we eat regularly are highly acidic, like meats and milk products. Offsetting the impact of these foods with more alkaline foods like leafy greens, grapefruit, berries nuts and a greens formulas will help you ward off inflammatory disease.
MORE reasons we love Happy Greens
-
Greens on the go. Greens powders offer an easier alternative to juicing. They’re quickly added to your juice or smoothie and are a convenient way to ensure proper nutrition while travelling or if you lead a busy lifestyle.
-
Highly-concentrated. On the average, one scoop of a greens powder is equivalent to five servings of vegetables.
-
More variety. Green powders provide a wider variety of vegetables than your daily diet, as they contain superfoods such as broccoli sprouts, chlorella and alfalfa.
-
Power-packed amount of antioxidants. The green pigments visible in green vegetables provide phytochemicals to improve cell function and protection. Antioxidants do this by neutralizing the free radicals which can bring about detrimental cellular changes. Daily intake of greens through your diet or in a greens powder help to reduce the oxidative strain on the body and minimize the risk of cell growth alterations that may lead to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature ageing.
-
More protein. Some of the ingredients in greens powders such as spirulina and wheatgrass are vegetable proteins that are beneficial for individuals who require more protein in their diets. Protein helps build muscle, provide energy and stamina, burn fat, enhance healing and support healthy liver function while being a precursor for the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.
- Improved blood oxygen levels. The green component of vegetables (chlorophyll) acts as a potent alkalizing agent and blood cleanser, helping to carry more oxygen through the red blood cells.
You can benefit from as little as 15ml of Happy Greens daily. Stir it into your daily juice or smoothie, or use up to 60ml daily for more severe oestrogen dominant hormonal conditions.
Happy Greens is the greens supplement that should become a staple in your diet. You can find more information on our Happy Greens page.
