Review: VitaForce
A super robust formula that is the most nutritionally dense and balanced green drink on the market — it truly serves as both a top notch green drink and as a multivitamin/multimineral supplement. VITAFORCE has a great balance of all the nutrients you need daily, and, unlike most green drinks, it has a complete vitamin and mineral label showing exactly the amount of nutrients you get per serving. Of particular note, it contains reliable sources of essential nutrients that are almost always lacking in other green drinks, such as Vitamin B-12, Vitamin D, zinc and selenium.

I once said that my favorite exotic cure was Aloe vera. Well, that’s still true. But my second favorite is lemongrass (cymbopogon citratus) because is found all over the world in almost any form — herbal tea, oil, extract, raw or dry and it’s a unique plant with so many benefits for health and beauty.

The benefits of oils and incenses for mind, body and spirit have been well known for ages. And of all the oils and essences from all the ages, I’d have to say that Frankincense garners the most respect. It’s the king of aroma therapy (rose oil probably being the queen) and has been used by many cultures for many purposes.
Science has been studying water for years, specifically, how water responds to different types and frequencies of energy. From magnets to rock-and-roll music, from happy thoughts to “blessings,” water has been exposed to all sorts of experiments and scientific studies.
Snail eating is not just found in French cuisine. Escargots are known by different names to the Chinese, Japanese, South American and African cultures, which also enjoy the health benefits and flavor of this delicacy. Well, I’m not going to give you a recipe for escargot. In fact, I know what you’re thinking: “I’d never eat that!” Well, don’t worry! You don’t even need to eat them to get the best of their benefits.
There is so much manipulation of the press and scientific community these days around health and wellness. Big corporate interests want you to believe what supports their corporate agenda and they’ll manipulate the facts surrounding your foods. Certain foods end up getting a bad reputation for being “bad for you” when they are really good for you if eaten in “normal” quantities. Here are three good foods that have suffered from bad press:
Magma Plus is made by the same people who make Green Magma. This formulation is their super green drink with a variety of greens and veggies. In fact, they put everything imaginable in there with a focus on barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa, and veggie powders (carrots, cabbage, beats and others). There is an acceptable amount of what they call “whole food extracts,” which is mostly a selection of healthy fillers (chicory root, wheat germ, brown rice).
There’s not doubt that the best way to get super nutrition on a regular basis is to juice your own fruits and veggies. You’ll end up with fresh, sometimes live juices from any fruit or vegetable you can get your hands on…plus all the pulp. And you can get creative with your mixtures — adding fruits and vegetables to suit your needs in the moment. If you’re feeling a cold coming on…add some extra citrus to your blender. Want a blood cleanse? Add some beats and dandelion greens. The possibilities are endless and although you’ll pay a bit up front for the machine, the cost benefits of juicing instead of buying homogenized, packaged juices pays off in the long run.
You’ve probably heard how recycling plastic water bottles is creating a huge impact on certain foreign nations who get stuck with mountains of bottles that never really get recycled. So how do you avoid the plastic bottle when just about every manufacturer uses them? 
Everyone knows that water is super important to our health…that the human body is made up of almost 80% water and that proper hydration is at the core of any good health protocol. But the story of water is just beginning and it’s getting more and more complicated! Soft drink and candy companies are buying up bottled water businesses right and left…and it’s all about profits. But bottled water is not necessarily any better for you than tap water in most modern cities (not all cities, of course). 
If you want more energy, better sexual stamina, increased circulation and immune response…plus a variety of other benefits…you should really add a quality ginseng to your diet. This ancient root has been studied for its beneficial affects on so many illnesses and maladies it’s hard to even begin…from brain health to heart health to cancer-fighting qualities and much more. And it’s one of the best natural energy boosters you’ll find anywhere.
Lecithin is a food ingredient that has been around for years and appears in all sorts of foods, from ice cream to catchup to green drinks. Its use as a food additive is largely because it’s an inexpensive way to provide bulk and smooth creaminess to foods. You’ll find it in many packaged foods that are creamy or saucy.
SuperFood Seasoning is a different take on superfood powders. Rather than a green drink mix, this product is a sprinlke-on seasoning that contains nothing but herbs and superfoods. It tastes great and goes well with any savory foods…and makes certain foods (like popcorn and ramen noodles) healthy in a very economical way. They recommend it with popcorn as a meal replacement, but you can use it on pasta, salads, toast, eggs…just about anything.
