Louise's favorite

Louise has become a legend at La Boite à GrainsAnd with good reason: she's been a naturopath with our company since 1997! In nearly thirty years, she has been able to follow the evolution of our health supermarket and industry, and above all, advise and guide countless customers towards greater well-being. "The contact with the public is what I enjoy most. It goes so much further than giving product advice. People need to be encouraged, to be listened to, and we're here to help them achieve a better quality of life."

Today, Louise presents her favorite, the Greens+ Extra Energy from Genuine Health.

Interview with Louise

Why Greens+ Extra Energy from Genuine Health?

It's a product I take regularly, especially in autumn and winter, or at times when I'm more tired. Greens+ is ultra-complete, and it's also the first superfood formula launched in Canada, over 30 years ago.

Each scoop provides 6 servings of organic fruit and vegetables, and all the benefits of Greens+ are supported by nine studies. It's a highly effective supplement for energy, vitality, concentration, alertness and endurance. All this thanks to the presence of 11 superfoods, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, as well as algae to help detoxify the body and green foods, a source of chlorophyll.

Greens+ Extra Energy also contains extracts of seven plants with energizing properties, and 100 mg of caffeine from kola nut seeds.

A real advantage, too, is that there's no collapse in energy, with support throughout the day.

Do you have any advice on the dosage of Greens+ Extra Energy?

Quite honestly, everyone would benefit from taking it. It's an excellent dietary supplement, containing only natural, organic foods, and is very well assimilated. Even if you don't take the full dose, just half or a third of a scoop, it will make a significant difference.

In fact, this is what is recommended when starting to take Greens+: start with a third of a dose, then gradually adjust the dosage.

What's your routine with Greens+ Extra Energy?

I mix it with carrot and celery juice that I prepare in advance, and I also add some Breuss vegetable juice. It makes a great start to my day.

Let's talk about healthy eating. What does it mean to you?

The more I eat, the more organic I become. I eat exclusively unprocessed food, and I always include raw foods in my meals (fruit, vegetables, salads). All in all, I'd say I follow the Mediterranean diet. The most important thing is to eat a varied and colorful diet, with good nutritional value.

Do you cook a lot at home?

Yes, all the time! I have four children and seven grandchildren, and I have the whole gang over every fortnight... And once you're used to the taste of home-made food, it's hard to do without.

In summertime, it's more about grilled meats and braised dishes... I also love fish, soups and salads.

Do you have any other healthy habits to share?

Walking, at least an hour a day. I live on the edge of Gatineau Park, which makes it easy to go hiking. Three times a week, I exercise, which includes yoga, stretching and cardio. In winter, I cross-country ski, and in summer, I bike and swim.

Reading and listening to music are also among my favorite activities, and contribute to my well-being.

Thank you Louise for sharing your crush with us!
