Health Topic - Drink your Greens!

I’ve always heard the ads on radio – “drink your greens” - it really helps. At first pish- pished it but as I’ve gotten older and the body has gotten “achier” I’ve been willing to try different, homeopathicish kinda’ stuff. I used bromelain which I love but that another post. I also take the stuff for the joints whichI get from Costco. Back to greens.

Honestly, I don’t get enough greens so I thought I’d try a “Drink your greens” product. There’s a TON out there. Which one to get? Now, I get some items from ROOT Brands, Clean Slate, Sculpt, Restore, so I thought I’d try them. Their greens are “ReLive Greens.” OMG it tasted awful. I tried to take them – I gave it 2 days. I couldn’t get past the taste.

Then I heard an ad for Brickhouse Nutrition and the “Wildberry” flavor. Okay – flavored greens. I think I can do that. I ordered it. I think it was $65.00 after a discount. And this time I bought Propel water – the berry one. I mixed up 8 oz of Propel and a scoop of Wildberry and went for it. The taste was definitely better. It’s still kinda’ ick but not so much. I can drink it.

And since my body has extra aches and aging pains I thought I’d drink one 8 oz in the morning and one 8 oz at night. Let me tell you. I can definitely feel a difference. There’s a lot less aches and pains and I feel like I have more mobility in the joints.

Now Brickhouse claims that greens boost the immune system, aid with detoxing (and after my massage that I got on the cruise, I was told I need all the detoxing I can get) increase energy level, and support a healthy metabolism. It’s vegan and organic. The only down side is I think it’s a tad pricy but since I feel overall better, I’m not complaining. I’ll take it.

I’d say the claims are spot on. I do feel an increased energy level. I’m going to keep drinking my greens. Let’s see where it goes. I started in April. I stopped on the cruise, but I’m back now. I’ll give you guys an update in a few. Anyone else drink their greens?
