Shouldn’t I Just Eat “Real” Food?

Now, before I get comments and messages saying that supplements are worthless, you should only eat real food, let me clarify something. I believe that you should eat as much food as possible, as often as possible. BUT, there are very specific times when supplements come in handy and can be very useful. Post workout supplements are a great example. They are very effective at getting your body the proper nutrients in time to take advantage of the critical 30-minute recovery window by replacing your glycogen (blood sugar) and giving your muscles a boost for muscle re-synthesis.

Where’d All The Nutrients Go?

Another good example of a “necessary” supplement is a health product like Shakeology. After doing a TON of research, I can say with a good deal of confidence, that the food that we eat everyday is not NEARLY as nutritious as it needs to be to give our bodies the proper amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to give us enough energy and fight off disease. Adding a supplement like Shakeology to your daily regimen is the absolute best way to give your body what it needs to keep you healthy without resorting to bottles and bottles of pills.

So here’s a quick look into the daily supplements that I use everyday. I’m not saying that all of these supplements are right for everyone but this is what works for me.

Coffee has been shown to decrease the risk of an individual acquiring Alzheimer’s. It also can increase a person’s short term memory and help with headaches. Coffee is also an extremely effective antioxidant. If a person can limit their coffee consumption to 2 cups per day these are some of the benefits that people can see from coffee.

Unfortunately, most people can’t limit themselves to 2 cups per day. With the consumption of more than 2 cups per day some of the benefits of coffee quickly get outweighed by the negative side effects.

One positive that quickly turns to a negative is the fact that coffee is a diuretic. While diuretics can help flush the body the can also cause people to become dehydrated and a lack of fluid in an individual’s body can cause constipation. Drinking coffee over a period of time can also stain a person’s teeth. Coffee has similar affects on teeth as nicotine. Drinking coffee can lead to a person developing yellow teeth and cavities, especially if large amounts of sugar are added to the drink.

The most obvious negative side effect of coffee is that it contains caffeine. Caffeine causes a number of health problems including sleep or anxiety disorders, elevated risks of Parkinson’s disease, breathing problems in infants, and caffeine dependency syndrome. Caffeine addiction is a vicious cycle that causes people who try to wean themselves off to experience headaches and other negative experiences.

So how can someone wean themselves off without crashing, getting massive headaches and having a lack of energy? Simple. Give your body the nutrition that it so badly craves.

A properly nourished body does not need a “pick-me-up”. Your body will have the vitamins and minerals needed to properly function in the fast-paced world that we live in. But, if your like me, you either don’t like to eat vegetables or don’t have the time, budget or stomach to eat everything necessary to get the amount of nutrients that your body needs.

So how can someone get the amount of vitamins and minerals needed to function properly without consuming pots of coffee? Again, simple. It’s called Shakeology and it’s nutrition simplified.

Shakeology contains over 70 different, healthy ingredients chosen from around the world that includes everything from protein and amino acids to digestive enzymes and anti-oxidants to vitamins and minerals. It is the healthiest meal of the day and an easy way to get your fruits and vegetables in one shake.

This video explains exactly what you would need to eat in a day to get the same nutritional value as 1 shake of Shakeology.

Here’s a great video comparing Juice and Coffee against Shakeology. As you will see, there is no comparison.
