WHY GREEN & RED?
Red Berries – Immunity Boost
Red berries such as blackcurrants and boysenberries are antioxidantrich and anti-inflammatory. They help increase blood flow to the brain and increase athletic performance and recovery. For over 10 years New Zealand Plant & Food Research has been studying the effects of taking New Zealand blackcurrants and the results are impressive. Packed with vitamin C, blackcurrants are great immunity boosters.
Leafy Greens – Detoxify
One of the reasons we are sicker now than ever before is that our commercial vegetables and fruit have been bred for easy growing and sweet taste at the expense of the bitter alkaloids that keep us healthy. We need to eat green foods that are still rich in nutrients, especially ‘baby plants’ picked fresh or dried. Sprouts and grasses of cereal grains contain all the nutrients of the single plant in small volume. Wheat and barley grass bind toxins whilst the sulforaphane found in broccoli sprouts activates enzymes that help the body metabolise environmental chemicals.
