A little note on the above superfoods supplements I chose to use. In every smoothie or shake I make, I add a few different superfoods outside of solid food. I call them "free foods" Usually I add all my super food supplements in each smoothie but today I only added three because I was going for a specific taste. Even though we try to eat well on most days, there are certain foods we can not eat enough of to the reap enough of their health benefits. Then there are some we would never eat that offer tons of benefits and also target specific health needs. I encourage you while you are eating well to include some superfoods of course in whole food form but also try some in supplement form to give your health the extra boost it may need. ** always check with your health care professional for any questions regarding any possible interfence with medications or specific health concerns before adding to your diet. Most are ok but but some can cause some concern**
Check out the below websites to see some of the reasons why I chose these three supplements.
