GREEN LIVING STARTS HERE

In recent years greens products have gained popularity as a means to incorporate high amounts of antioxidants, and by virtue of their constituents, add a considerable increase to the number of daily servings of fruits and vegetables.  In regard to their health contributions, green drinks have been accredited to having alkalinizing effect on the body.  The typical American (Western) diet is highly acidic in nature, predominantly due to commercial processing, along with the fact that a high proportion of the diet consists of meat, dairy, and sugars.  As a consequence the internal pH is chronically acidic, and thus not within the optimal range.  Being alkalizing in nature, greens products serve as an ideal balance to the typical American diet. An increased intake of various phytonutrients derived from fruit and vegetable juice concentrates has shown to result in a stimulatory effect on the immune system, as evidenced by an increase in the circulating population of T cells (gammadelta type).  This effect was accompanied by a 40% reduction in lymphocyte DNA damage.  Additionally, an increased phytonutrient intake has been associated with a significant increase in accompanying nutrients, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein, all of which were correlated to a notable increase in antioxidant capacity.  Start Here - Nitrogreens #1111
