Chapter 1: How Smoothies Can Transform Your health

Imagine if you could wake up every morning feeling amazing. Instead of waking up with a headache, or struggling to open your eyes because you’re still so tired; you just leap out of bed full of life and ready to go and take on the day. This energy is then enough to carry you through workouts, through your office job and through the evenings when you still have enough left in the tank to chat to play with your family. You have enough to work on projects, to keep the house clean and tidy and to make the very most of every last hour. And imagine if you had the dream physique you’ve always wanted: flat abs, ripped muscle and skin that looks glowing and healthy. Of course, there’s no quick fix that can make all of this a reality, but it is a very good aim to have. And actually, there are just a few simple things you can do that will immediately take you a lot closer to that reality. One of them is just to start drinking a smoothie every day.

Really? A smoothie? A drink hat can improve your health, your mood, your appearance and your energy levels?

Definitely – and much more as well! In this book you’ll learn how smoothies can change your life and you’ll discover easy recipes for smoothies that boost immunity, fight stress, improve athletic performance, build muscle, fight cancer and MUCH more. Let’s take a look at just how it happens…

Why We Need Nutrients

A smoothie is of course a blend of different fruits and vegetables. You simply take a bunch of fruits, drop them into a blender and hit ‘go’ so that your drink will be ready to consume. It’s a simple process but it’s enough to give you a drink that not only tastes amazing but also provides you with a ton of nutrition. And this is the key word: nutrition. What is incredibly important for all of us, is that we eat a nutrient dense diet. That is to say that it isn’t good enough that we view our diet just as a source of fuel – it also must be a source of raw materials that provide us with enhanced performance and health. The old saying that you ‘are what you eat’ is literally true. Your muscles, your bones, your hormones, your brain cells, your immune system and your digestive enzymes are all made from nutrients in your food and that’s what makes it so important. When you consume fruits, meats or vegetables, your body will proceed to break them down and then use the constituent parts to perform numerous jobs throughout your system. These help you to grow, to develop, to fight illness and to function optimally. And it’s no coincidence that we need fruits, vegetables and other ingredients to thrive. After all, these are the things we evolved eating. It’s not that our biology forced us to seek out these foods – the foods were available and so our biology adapted to survive on them. We need these ingredients to thrive then and without them, we start to literally fall apart. We start to see signs of poor health such as difficulty sleeping, brittle hair and nails, weaker bones and lack of muscle tone. Our eyes aren’t quite as white and we lose the spring in our step. Our hormones fall out of whack and we eventually start to see serious illnesses and other conditions slowly arise. And this isn’t the exception. This isn’t a rare and unfortunate scenario that only some people experience… this is the norm.

Did you know that a huge number of the diseases and illnesses that affect us in old age are actually highly avoidable degenerative diseases? Your body was built to last you your entire life. In theory, you should be able to stay healthy, active and engaged right up until you keel over. But malnutrition allows all sorts of problems to slowly creep up on us from weak bones, to heart disease, to high blood pressure, to arthritis, to dementia. Not all of these conditions are avoidable but in many cases, they are. So what’s the problem with our modern diet?

The Problem With Modern Diets

The biggest issue is that we eat far too much processed food. What is processed food? Simply put, it’s food that has been manufactured and prepared in such a way that it bears little resemblance to the original ingredients. A good example might be a sausage role. Here, you think that you are getting some meat and pastry. The pastry is made from flower and egg but at least the sausage is real meat, filled with real amino acids and minerals, right? Wrong! That meat is most likely a combination of all the cast offs from countless other meals that have been blended together and mushed into a pulp. That means you’re getting the gristle and the parts of the meat that no one would eat in any other format. From there, the sausage meat then has copious amounts of sugar, salt and fat added. This helps to preserve the sausage and make sure it still looks that appetising grey color when you come to eat it. What about the fruits and vegetables you get in your cereal and your breakfast bars? Nope, they’re just as bad! These fruits have been ‘freeze dried’. That means that they have been subjected to a vacuum and sub-zero temperatures. The low temperature will have frozen the moisture to the point that it becomes tiny icicles and the low pressure will then have forcibly removed them from the fruit. You think that won’t bring with it some of the all important nutrients along the way? Apart from anything else, when you consume something containing vitamin C, you need the moisture in order to absorb it. Vitamin C is literally a ‘water soluble vitamin’ and you can’t use it if it’s not presented correctly. And once again, lots of sugar and other additives will be added which will make your fruit look colorful and remain edible. Something like crisps or chocolate bars meanwhile barely have any nutrients in them to begin with!

How Empty Calories Are Destroying Your Health

All this means that you are consuming empty calories. An empty calorie is food like sausage roles, like unhealthy breakfast cereals and like ready meals that contain lots of calories but very little actual nutrition. You’re temporarily filling yourself up and spiking your blood sugar but you’re not providing any actual sustenance. Plus, these empty calories take the form of simple carbs. Because there’s nothing ‘real’ left in them, you’ll digest them too quickly resulting in a spike in blood sugar. This provides a short energy burst but that then runs out just as quickly, leaving you craving real food. Moreover, you’ll be malnourished and fail to get the vitamins and minerals you need. And what’s more, is that this will eventually translate to the build-up of more serious diseases and conditions. Failing to get proper food in your diet is also what causes snacking behavior and weight gain. This is partly due to the fact that your blood sugar troughs so soon after it spikes and partly due to the fact that your body will ‘crave’ the things it needs. If you’re not getting enough vitamin C, then your body will tell you it wants something sweet. It’s trying to communicate that you need an orange or an apple – but years of training mean that you’ll interpret this as needing a chocolate bar! And even before that happens, you’ll find you gain weight easily and you have to drag yourself through the day like some kind of zombie! When you view food just as fuel and forget that it is also sustenance, that is when your body starts to fail you.
