a Short introduction...

Hippocrates, a Greek physician from 2500 years ago, may not have understood the inner workings of the human body on a molecular biology level but he and other physicians of the time knew that a connection existed between the food they ate and state of well-being.

You don’t need to be a doctor, scientist, or a nutritionist to know that food is integral in how we feel, how we think, and how we act in life. When we eat too much we feel weighed down and lethargic, tired and moody. On the other hand, eat too little or not at all and we find ourselves feeling tired, irritable, distracted, and weak

Food, at the basic level, is our fuel. It’s responsible for all our bodily functions from digestion and metabolism to walking, running and carrying – food makes this happen. This fuel we consume is made up of 3 macro-nutrients: Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins. These 3 uniquely different building blocks work synergistically to keep us performing at our best, but too much of one, or too little of another, and things can start to run awry. We know this all too well in the case of type 2 diabetics, who have developed difficulty in assimilating sugars (carbohydrates) in the blood and require ongoing monitoring and in many cases insulin injections.

We live in a chaotic world of hustle-and-bustle where many are focused on building a successful career and raising a happy, healthy family. However, for many of us caught up in this pursuit, we find that our health is put on the back-burner of life while thinking to ourselves,

Newsflash! There’ll always be another thing.

Excuses are just bad habits in disguise. In my book, the Whole Life Fitness Manifesto, I dedicate entire chapters to helping people overcome the mental barriers blocking them from prioritizing health and well-being.

Funny enough people think that as a fitness trainer I must help people develop their bodies, but truthfully, 9 times out of 10, it’s the muscle between the ears that I help them exercise the most. Put it this way, if challenged to think about your life and where you want to be – more importantly how you want to live – 10, 20 or even 40 years from now will greatly affect the choices you are making today.

Ed Stanley once said,

“Those who think they have no time for exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.”

He was bang on!

And so, let me get to the point of this book.

Green smoothies.

They can certainly help make life a little more awe-inspiring! A little more ‘oomph’, a little more fun, a little more of je ne sais quoi… think about one of the fondest memories you have, bottle that feeling you have right now, and think what it would be like to feel that same way about your health. That’s what I’m talking about!

Well, maybe not the smoothies specifically, but the greens themselves. Green is so much more than a color, it’s synonymous with life. Look at the forested parks, lush gardens, and fields upon fields of farmlands, the greenery is alive! Green vegetables, like spinach, kale, romaine, chard, are jammed with antioxidants, minerals, and essential vitamins. There’s a reason why Popeye reached for spinach when he needed a super-charged-kick-in-the-pants every now and then. And so too, we can harness this ‘green power’ through the foods we eat. But, we have to choose to make them part of our everyday routine – our lifestyle.

Smoothies come in a rainbow of colors. In this simple guide, my family and I have placed the emphasis on the lively color, GREEN. Which in our opinion are the most powerful and restorative smoothies for recharging, resetting, and reigniting your health and vitality.

So we ask you, are you ready to super charge your health? Unharness the power of green and regain your vitality?

Splendid.
