Balanced Diet

We are not suggesting that you give up all your treats, but if you choose to have them why not temper what you eat with something that will support your health and wellbeing.  Equally, if you find it difficult to consume 5 - 7 portions of fruit and vegetables on a regular daily basis there are easy ways to help top up.  Even if you do seem to eat well it's worth considering how long your ‘fresh' food may have been stored and what sort of conditions it may have been grown in.

Supplements can help, particularly those based on whole foods, where they are more likely to be accepted by the body than artificial synthesised products.

At Life Changes Now we have access to a range of high quality whole food based nutritional supplements such as barley grass juice, an excellent fruit drink that combines a wide range of highly nutritious elements, and supplements targeted towards the different nutritional needs of men and women.

Barley Grass

Barley Grass Juice

This comes as a powder which is simply mixed with water to create what initially seems a rather strange looking green drink.  It can take some getting used to, but after a while just becomes part of the daily routine.  This particular brand is processed at low temperatures to help preserve the enzymes and vitamins.  Barley grass juice helps support the body's nutritional needs, correct food imbalances, and offset the effects of a poor diet.  It also contains antioxidants and helps regulate the body's acid/alkaline balance.

Fruit Drink

Aloe Vera

Pomegranate

Two of the main ingredients are pomegranate and aloe vera.  Pomegranate has recently received considerable attention and been given the accolade of ‘super food'.  Some research indicates that it may help with prostate cancer.  The properties of aloe vera and its huge range of beneficial nutrients are widely recognised. 

Just a small dose of 30ml a day is recommended, which can be drunk ‘neat' or mixed with water, fruit juice or yoghurts (or even poured over icecream!)
