Whole Food Concentrates
vs.
Supplements
It is
exactly what it says it is; a whole food that has either been juiced or dried
and then ground into a powder. This powder can then be taken in water or incorporated
into a smoothie. Many of these powders are placed in capsules or made into
tablets that you can then swallow with water.
Supplements
and vitamins are mostly individual components or isolated elements that have
been taken and placed into a capsule or manufactured into tablets. These are
concentrates of individual components made into a highly potent or concentrated
pill. This can place unnecessary strain on the body. Synthetic chemicals can
then also be added, and can make it more difficult for the body to absorb. It does
however help to extend the shelf life of the product as well as acting as a
binder or filler.
Whole food
concentrates are only the fruit/vegetables/grass/leaves/nuts/seeds/herbs that
have been dried, juiced or ground into a fine powder and made into a
concentrate. This process enables the body to digest and absorb it better. It
can be taken on its own or added to a liquid or included in your food
preparation to increase your nutritional intake. Supplements and vitamins on the
other hand must be taken with food most of the time to help with better absorption,
to prevent nausea and stomach aches.
Whole food
powders or juice concentrates will give your body the basic building blocks to
help sustain normal function, provide healthy growth and tissue repair, improve
immune function and energy.

RediBeets and Cocoa LeafGreens are all whole food concentrates that you can
easily and conveniently mix into your water. Barley Life is also available in

In ending
off, please remember to read your product labels. Avoid those hidden sugars,
fillers, binders and strange chemical compositions that can affect the body
negatively in the long run.
Holidays are
coming up, try not to push your whole food powders and juice concentrates to
the side. Holidays are to rest, refresh and rejuvenate. It is the ideal time
for your body to utelise these wonderful products and give your body the lift
that it deserves.
Happy
holidays!
