The Benefits of Superfood Drinks

Our essential fluid requirements vary from day to day, depending on our climate, the stressful situations we have to deal with, our daily energy expenditure, and let's not forget, we're made of between 60 and 70% water.

It always strikes me, when I'm standing on the banks of a stream, river, lake or ocean, that 70% to 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. So it's easy to understand how important water is to our basic needs. The water that travels this long circuit through our bodies to our organs is essential for regulating all our vital functions.

To this essential water, we add energizing superfood blends and superfood-rich drinks: Beets Me, Boost Me and Soothe Me from the Whole Earth & Sea range.

The role of superfoods

Superfoods are nutrient-rich foods. These foods add extra nutrients to our everyday diet. More vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, essential fatty acids, fiber, etc. These nutritious foods have a protective function against potential deficiencies in our diet, such as vitamin losses during cooking.

Superfoods also play an important role in protecting us from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that seek to bind to other atoms, damaging our cell membranes. A reaction known as oxidation.

An example of oxidation you've probably experienced: cutting or biting into an apple exposes it to oxygen-containing air, triggering an oxidation reaction that results in browning. Citric acid or lemon are excellent antioxidants for preventing this reaction and thus its degradation.

The oxidation of our cells can cause disease and accelerate aging.

Every day, we face stresses that produce free radicals: chronic stress, chronic inflammation, excessive training, the presence of environmental pollutants, viruses, bacteria, yeasts, etc..^1,2
