The more I research Shakeology and the more I learn about the amazing ingredients and health benefits, the more blown away I am! The ingredients selected to make these delicious meal replacement shakes, are pretty impressive! The health ingredients for the individual ingredients are long and cover the whole body!
Could you buy the ingredients at your local store? Possibly! Would it be costly? Quite likely! Could you eat all the ingredients in one seating? I would be so thoroughly impressed if you did! Another solution, of course, is to have ONE Shakeology for the low price of $4.30 or $3.23 if you are a coach! What? That is a steal!! Yes, it is! $4.30 (or $3.23) for 70 super-food ingredients in one scoop! $4.30 (or $3.23) for amazing health benefits! Mind blown!
Yet again, I do want to add my disclaimer that I am not a nutritionist or any type of health expert. I am, however, someone who is passionate about being as healthy as I possibly can be and sharing what I learn with others. (I'll be saying this every week just so there isn't any confusion).
I know know we can all scour the internet for information and for these upcoming posts, I will do just that for you. As with anything, you are welcome to do your own research as well.
The last three weeks, I have shared information regarding the Premium Protein and Amino Acids, Antioxidants and Super-Fruits, and Phytonutrients and Super-Greens. This week, I'll share information about the Adaptogenic Herbs and Botanicals and their health benefits.
The week we are going to talk about the Adaptogenic Herbs and Botanicals- Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Cordyceps, Maca, Maitake, Reishi, Schisandra, Chaga and their health benefits.
Firstly, what does Adaptogenic mean? "Adaptogens are natural substances that work with a person’s body and help them adapt; most notably, to stress. Adaptogens are a natural ally in dealing with persistent stress and fatigue because they work with regulating important hormones."

Ashwagandha
According to WebMD, "Ashwagandha is used for arthritis, anxiety, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, menstrual problems, hiccups, and chronic liver disease.". WOW!!
