why i prefer fresh over powdered Greens

There is no denying that a greens powder is convenient and does the job. However, there is something about a fresh cold juice that puts fresh over powdered in first place for me. When is comes to health benefits, here’s the breakdown:

Fresh vs Powdered greens

Powdered Benefits

·       Dietary supplement

·       Easy way to reach daily intake needed

·       nutrient combination in greens powder is formulated to support your body's immune system and energy levels 

·       Convenient

Powdered Disadvantages

·       Brands that use artificial colors and flavors, artificial sweeteners, thickeners, and GMO ingredients.

·       Essential to measure your fiber intake because a high fiber intake could increase your chances of bloating.

·      Possible side effects of greens powder: diarrhea, blood medication interference, allergic reactions, and overconsumption

Fresh Benefits

·      Help Boost the Metabolism of Energy (thanks to vitamin C)

·      Support Your Immune System (thanks to vitamins A & C)

·      Contribute to the Health of the Skin (thanks to vitamin A)

·      Reduces Inflammation

·      Improved Digestion

·      Aids in Weight Loss

·       Keeps most of whole benefits

Fresh Disadvantages

·       Juicing machine leaves nutrient-rich and fiber-rich skin and pulp behind

·       Without the fruit fiber, your body absorbs the fructose sugar more easily, which can upset blood sugar levels.
