Green Drinks Guide
There are many green drinks on the market each offering the nutritional benefits of the green plants and vegetables that are often lacking in our diets. Green drinks contain many different alkalising ingredients, and the regular consumption of green drinks plays a massive part in creating and maintaining an alkaline environment in our bodies.
So What is a Green Drink?
A green drink is the outcome of mixing a grass-based powdered supplement with water. It is cunningly titled, as mixing it together makes the water turn green. I think Dr Young was the first person to coin this phrase, and genius it was.
Green drink supplements are, as stated, a mixture of different grasses that have been dried in any number of ways (flash, freeze, dehydrated, slow etc). They can be just one grass, but you are best off aiming for a mixture. While some brands aim to squeeze as many ingredients in as possible, others try to focus on just a core selection of four or five you should try to make sure that at least some of the following are included:
- Wheatgrass
- Barley Grass
- Kamut Grass
- Sprouted Alfalfa
- Sprouted Soy
- Watercress
A core mix of wheatgrass, barley grass and kamut grass would definitely still be effective.
Benefits of Green Drinks
The key reasons why I use greens include:
- The greens are full of nutrients, vitamins, chlorophyll, amino acids and minerals.
- They are revitalising and energy-giving
- The greens are also highly alkalizing/alkalising
- Drinking the greens encourages you to stay fully hydrated as you should consume approx 3-4 litres daily.
The benefits of green drinks goes well beyond this, but the above are my own personal reasons and benefits. I did not have a great deal of health complaints to begin with so I cannot sit here and write about it curing something or other - but it the benefits I have experienced are great. I do not get tired in the afternoons any more, I need less sleep, my complexion is clear and I haven’t been ill for ages.
