Our Health Journey

Here’s a recommendation I thought I’d share with you - my favorite green food supplement, which happens to be Greens First by Doctors For Nutrition.

Many people - especially busy folks like me - realize that it can be difficult to get in the recommended five servings (each) of fruits and vegetables that we’re supposed to eat every day. What a lot of people don’t realize is that even if they are making the effort, we’re not getting the level of nutrition out of today’s varieties that our parents and grandparents did years ago. Numerous studies have shown a slow but steady depletion of soil nutrients in our farm lands over the last half-century. Which is why it’s so important to make up what we’re missing in the form of good high-quality supplements.

For the most part I take only the Shaklee brand of vitamins and mineral supplements, but I do like the easy and tasty way I can get in my extra fruits and veggies in the Greens First green food supplement too. Some time ago I did a comparison chart of Greens First versus two greens food supplements sold at GNC under their own brand. If you take a look at it you’ll see that they are all pretty similar, but the reason I like the Greens First the best is taste - it has a light, refreshing, thirst-quenching taste, and the others just taste a little “grassy”. In the near future I plan to update my comparison to include the Greens Plus brand, which I haven’t yet tried. I’ll keep you posted!
