Most people today don't eat a properly balanced diet. Some due to a lack of knowledge about nutrition and diet, and others simple because of a lack of time an the availablity of good choices. Sad to say, fast foods have become the cornerstone of the American diet. Everyone suffers by making these kinds of choices. Delicious GREENS 8000® provides the necessary ingredients for a super-charged dietary supplement drink that makes it easy to get what our body really needs on a daily basis, and most of all, it is really good for you!
Delicious GREENS 8000® is an easy mixing, great tasting and energizing "phyto-nutrient" powder mix loaded with certified organic, whole foods and plant extracts. These are the "Super-Foods" that the scientific experts and doctors tell us to eat daily, but we never seem to do with regularity.
But perhaps one of the most important aspects of Delicious GREENS 8000® are the antioxidant benefits that our body receives. But what are antioxidants and why are they so important?
We asked Dr. James Balch M.D. why antioxidants are so important?

Barley : Barley seems to improve several cardiovascular risk factors. For example, in a study of male participants, researchers found increasing whole grain foods such as barley and barley grains in a healthy diet could reduce high blood pressure. Chlorella: Numerous research projects in the Spirulina: This tiny aquatic plant known as Spirulina, offers 60% all-vegetable protein, essential vitamins and phytonutrients such as the antioxidant beta carotene, the rare essential fatty acid GLA, sulfolipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides are also found in Spirulina. Alfalfa:
Ionic Trace Minerals
Carrot juice
Broccoli Juice: Eat your broccoli, mom said! Broccoli contains a chemical called sulforaphane that kills helicobacter pylori. H. Pylori is the bacteria responsible for peptic ulcers and many gastric cancers, and the risk can be greatly reduced by regular consumption of broccoli juice. Cauliflower Juice
Spinach Juice: A carotenoid found in spinach fights human prostate cancer in two different ways, according to research published in the Journal of Nutrition. The carotenoid, found in spinach its called neoxanthin, not only induces prostate cancer cells to self-destruct, but is converted in the intestines into additional compounds, called neochromes, which put prostate cancer cells into a state of stasis, thus preventing their replication. Parsley Juice: Parsley's volatile oils—particularly myristicin—have been shown to inhibit tumor formation in animal studies, and particularly, tumor formation in the lungs. Myristicin found in Parsley has also been shown to activate the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, which helps attach the molecule glutathione to oxidized molecules that would otherwise do damage in the body.

Oat Beta-Glucan: Oat Beta-Glucan is the active ingredient in oat soluble fiber, recognized by the United States FDA as an effective way to lower blood cholesterol. Taken Oak Beta-Glucan daily may lower the risk of constipation and constipation related problems. Apple Fiber Pectin
Sprouted Barley Malt
Concord Grape Powder
Acerola Cherry : Acerola has been studied and found to be a powerful antioxidant demonstrating anti-cancer potential. Acerola contains polyphenols. Milk Thistle (Silymarin): Milk Thistle (Silymarin) has antioxidant properties. Milk Thistle also contains anti-inflammatory effects, which keeps liver cells from swelling in response to injury, and it seems to encourage liver cell growth. By changing the outside layer of liver cells, it prevents certain toxins from getting into liver cells.
Red Beet Root: Red Beet Root has properties to clean the kidneys and gall bladder. Being rich in alkaline elements, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, is useful in combating acidosis. Red Beet Root is also beneficial in the treatment of anemia, digestive problems, as well as circulatory and skin disorders.
Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera contains numerous vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars and agents which may be anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. The combination and balance of the plant's ingredients are what purportedly gives it its healing properties.
Pomegranate: Preliminary evidence suggests that pomegranate may reduce cholesterol. Israeli researchers, published a small clinical study in June 2004 in Clinical Nutrition, suggested that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day for one year reduced blood pressure (particularly systolic pressure) and slowed down LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) oxidation.
Turmeric Rhizome: Turmeric purifies the blood, aids digestion of protein, promotes proper metabolism in the body, correcting both, excess and deficiencies. Turmeric is used in treatment for fever, mild stomach upset, infection, arthritis, dysentery, jaundice and other liver problems.
Atlantic Kelp: Kelp has a very high natural iodine content, which has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. Due to the vitamin and mineral contents of Atlantic Kelp it may help scalp and hair health. Poor digestion, flatulence and obstinate constipation, have been helped with Kelp supplementation.
Green Tea Extract: In 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.
Quercetin: Quercetin is a powerful anti-oxidant. It is also a natural anti-histamine, and anti-inflammatory. Research shows that quercetin may help to prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer.
Trans Resveratrol: Trans Resveratrol promotes cardiovascular health through its antioxidant action and its ability to promote healthy platelet function and maintain healthy arachidonic acid metabolism. Daily use of Trans Resveratrol has shown improvement on male and female health. Red Wine Extract: A study by the Grape seed Extract: Grape seed has been suggested for many uses, based on tradition, and scientific theories. Grape seed extract has been found to be a beneficial antioxidant for children and adults.
Blueberry Extract: Blueberries are a particularly rich source of antioxidants called anthocyanins (also contained in apples, grapes, blackberries, radishes, and red cabbage). Several studies suggest anthocyanins discourage blood clots from forming, warding off heart attacks. They also appear to improve night vision and to slow macular degeneration by strengthening tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye.
Digestive Enzymes: A shortage of enzymes in the body will influence the health of the entire body, and symptoms may include stomach gas, indigestion, bloating, heartburn and flatulence. Increase the nutrients you absorb from your diet to improve overall nutrition. Decrease or eliminate indigestion, gas, bloating and reflux. Address the underlying cause of digestive complaints rather than temporarily masking the symptoms. Enhance the body's digestive efficiency, reduce fatigue and increase your energy. Leaving energy to focus on other functions, like strengthening the immune system and regenerating cells and tissues. Ease stress on digestive organs, especially the pancreas, by reducing their workload. Improve general health and quality of life
Probiotics: Generally Probiotics help to maintain a healthy digestive system by maintaining a balance between the harmful and beneficial bacteria in the gut. They are of benefit especially when taken during and after antibiotic treatment or when traveling abroad where the body encounters different types of bacteria than it is used to. Other possible health benefits include immune system stimulation, treatment of acute diarrhea and other GI disorders and improved lactose digestion. Lecithin: Phosphatidyl choline is a brain and nerve nutrient. It acts to protect the insulating and protective sheaths that surround the brain, spine, and thousands of miles of nerves. Phosphatidyl choline helps reduce high cholesterol levels by enhancing the metabolism of cholesterol in the digestive system and aiding its transport through the circulatory system. It acts as an emulsifier to break down the fats and cholesterol into tiny particles and holds them in suspension, preventing them from sticking to blood platelets or arterial walls.
: Studies have shown SDG Lignans to be effective in a variety of health complications. Much extensive study has been done on the effects of flax lignans on certain diseases such as Prostate cancer, Skin cancer, Melanoma, Diabetes, Lupus and many more. Being Phytoestrogens, SDG lignans have also been reported to be effective in balancing hormone related problems in women.
