Back to Basics Series Part V : Recommended Product

Basic Anti-oxidant support is something often overlooked. Due to the stresses of the modern world, we
recommend a strong anti-oxidant product that will help combat the barrage of toxins we face every day.

Nanoreds is a superfood fruit and vegetable powder with the emphasis on the fruits more than vegetables in taste, visual appeal and phytonutrient spectrum. Nanoreds is an awesome new supplement that we recommend as it tastes great, has high antioxidant value and mixes readily.

Added benefits are:
  1. It promotes proper ph levels in your body. Exercise, certain foods and stress are linked to increased acidity in your blood. The closer your blood ph is to 7.2-7.4 the better your body can fight off disease.
  2. Increasing your intake of antioxidants will increase your ability to detoxify environmental toxins. Free Radicals are being created all of the time in our bodies. If you increase your amount of antioxidants, you increase your bodies natural defense mechanisms and detoxification processes.
  3. It is 70% organic and 30 % wildly grown, which is one of the best ratios on the market.
Nanoreds is a flexible product that can be used post workout, during your workout with ice, or even to make popsicles!

Nanoreds is available through Live in Motion info@liveinmotion.ca

Super Foods

What are superfoods?
They are the most powerful, nutrient dense foods on the planet. They offer supreme health benefits through phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, healthy bacteria, vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients.
They offer a wide variety of health benefits. These are not over marketed everyday foods that large companies cram down your throat as healthy (margarine, commercial yogurt, cereal) but real foods that have real benefits. Change your routine and start adding these foods in!

SUPERFOOD #1 - Nutritional Yeast


What is it?

A non-living yeast that is grown specifically for its nutrition benefits.  It is not a living yeast similar to those used in breads.

Why is it beneficial?
• With 18 amino acids it is a high quality, complete protein, In fact, Nutritional Yeast is about 55% protein.
• A rich source of Vitamin B Complex which means you feel better overall
• Maintains ideal intestinal environment
• Improves blood production
• Improves liver health
• Helps in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels

What does it look like?
Yellow to brownish small, thin flakes or powder.

What do I do with this stuff?

Add it to food to increase flavor and nutrient value as well as increasing protein content. Most people are deficient in protein.
Here are some ideas;
• sprinkle it on popcorn
• add to soup to add a creamy flavor without dairy
• mix with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make a tasty salad dressing
• sprinkle on cooked or raw veggies
• use it to substitute unhealthy parmesan cheese

What does it taste like?
Pretty darn good. Similar to a mild parmesan or romano cheese

Our Personal Experiences?
Love it! We have used it for all of the above plus to replace protein in meals that are low in protein. At 6
grams of protein per tablespoon it can add significant
quality protein to your diet. Very good with olive oil on asparagus, broccoli etc.

Where to buy and cost?
Nutritional yeast is available from health food stores.  A small bag cost us a whopping 91 cents and lasts about 2-3 weeks. Can't go wrong!
