Superfoods in Shakeology


SUPERFOODS IN SHAKEOLOGY



I want to go over some of the ingredients that are in each serving of SHAKEOLOGY.  This is only some of the powerful superfoods in Shakeology. Before I go into that I want to go over what SHAKEOLOGY can do for you. SHAKEOLOGY can help you lose weight, reduce cravings, increase energy and stamina, promote health digestion and regularity. By replacing SHAKEOLOGY with one meal along with regular exercising and eating 5-6 small meals a day it can help lower cholesterol by 30% to 70% and help reduce bad cholesterol by an average 38%. The shakes can reduce cardiovascular risk by 24% on average, lowers oxidant damage caused by free radicals on the average of 45%, which can also help decrease the risk for developing heart disease, dementia, and arthritis.



Since we now have a better understanding of what SHAKEOLOGY can do for your health and body, let’s dig deeper and find out what the ingredients in SHAKEOLOGY are exactly and why they can help you live a longer and fuller life. All of these products were researched and found by a scientist named Darin Olien. Darin is on a mission to find the most nutritional foods and he will travel the world for the richest and healthiest ingredient!
