Multigreens vs. NingXia Greens

Liz James · September 25, 2023 ·

Are you team MultiGreens๐Ÿฅณ or team NingXia Greens๐Ÿฅณ? (PS…. NingXia Greens is free this month … among other goodies, with a qualifying purchase!)
ย 
๐Ÿค” What’s the difference you say? Let’s take a look here……. (lots of info here….. the graphic is the cliff notes version ๐Ÿ˜‰, but I know some of you are like me and love deets!)
ย 
๐Ÿค“MultiGreens & NingXia Greens at a glanceโ€ฆ
ย 
๐ŸŒฟNingxia Greens
* Think of NingXia Greens as a superfood greens powder to add to smoothies, drinks, foods, etc.
* Gut and immune health-focused fruit and vegetable powder with 2โ€“3 servings of fruits and vegetables in every scoop
* Contains a vast array of superfood fruits and vegetables, including health-supporting mushrooms
* Contains plant-based omega-3’s plus prebiotics and enzymes to aid absorption
* Each serving contains 50 fermented whole foods, five varieties of immune-supporting mushrooms, and wolfberry fruit and sprouted leaves
* Available as a powder to mix into food and drinks
* Contains the โ€˜MultiGreens’ essential oil blend: Rosemary, Lemon, Lemongrass, and Melissa
ย 
***********************************************
๐ŸŒฟMultiGreens
* Think of MultiGreens as a daily โ€˜salad in a bottle’ full of plants containing incredible health benefits.
* Focused liver and glandular health and supports energy and healthy iron levels
* Contains spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and more
* High in amino acids and chlorophyll
* Available as capsules that can be swallowed or opened and added to food and drinks
* Contains the โ€˜MultiGreens’ essential oil blend: Rosemary, Lemon, Lemongrass, and Melissa
**********************************************
But can you use both?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค“
๐Ÿ‘Yes! In the same way you’d eat multiple fruits and vegetables and a salad in a day, you can get added benefits from using MultiGreens capsules and NingXia Greens powder every day. In fact, they work well together and allow you to provide support digestion from the belly to the intestines! Support immune and gut health with NingXia Greens and energy levels, adrenal health, and liver with MultiGreens!
ย 
NINGXIA GREENS
Formulated with superfood ingredients, greens, and premium essential oils, NingXia Greens takes the guesswork out of your nutrition needs. All you have to do is scoop, stir, and enjoy!
KEY INGREDIENTS
* NingXia wolfberry fruit powder and sprouted leaves: Also known as goji berries, wolfberries come from an ancient plant, long praised in China for its powerful health benefits.
* Maitake, reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, and enokitake mushrooms: A source of soluble fiber known as beta glucans, these mushrooms help support a healthy immune system and help prevent and repair oxidative damage. These mushrooms are high in antioxidants, vitamins (including vitamin D), and minerals and have been studied for use in cardiovascular health, cancer prevention and reducing inflammation.
* Fermented Superfood Blend: A fermented superfood blend that delivers nutrients that are difficult to obtain from a typical diet, this proprietary combination also contains enzymes to support optimal digestion.
* Purslane: An edible succulent, this ingredient is one of the few vegetables that’s rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and mineralsโ€”including copper, magnesium, iron, manganese, and potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Purslane is also a uniquely rich source of 184 phytochemical compounds, including phenolic acids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
* Secale cereale flower pollen extract: A non-allergenic and sustainably sourced extract that contains full-spectrum nutrients such as amino acids, phytosterols, fatty acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, this extract is clinically shown to display antioxidant and detoxifying capacity and maintain cellular oxidative stress through significant decrease of GSSG (oxidized glutathione).

ย 
MULTIGREENS
MultiGreens capsules benefit the body much like eating a large salad: nutrients, fiber, amino acids, and more that help the liver process everything we throw at it. MultiGreens are also great for supporting glandular health – adrenal, thyroid, pancreas – and all those greens are good for energy levels.
KEY INGREDIENTS
* Bee Pollen: high in protein, vitamins, and minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins; supports the body’s response to inflammation and helps protect the liver; full of antioxidants including flavonoids, carotenoids, quercetin, kaempferol and glutathione

* Insoluble fiber: feeds the good bacteria in the gut, helping with digestion and intestinal health.
* Spirulina: a source of chlorophyll, antioxidants, and magnesium that protects against oxidative damage
* Choline: an essential micronutrient necessary for numerous bodily processes including nerve function, cholesterol processing, brain development, muscle mobility, and liver function
* Eleuthero root: an adaptogenic herb that soothes cortisol and boosts the body’s resistance to stress
* Alfalfa leaf: high in chlorophyll, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins C and K
* Pacific Kelp: contains iodine vitamins, minerals and antioxidants – all of which are vital for a healthy thyroid and hormone balance and function
* Amino acids L-arginine, L-cysteine, and L-tyrosine: help the body with proper circulation, cellular metabolism, liver function and production of dopamine and serotonin.
* Rosemary essential oil: helps balance the endocrine system and cleanse the liver

Young Living’s September Free Gifts

Liz James · September 1, 2023 ·

Kicking off September๐Ÿˆ ya’ll! Can you believe we are already well into the second half of 2023? In addition to ๐Ÿˆ football and ๐Ÿ‚falling leaves, Fall always brings an uptick of unwell days in households everywhere. Thankfully, WE HAVE TOOLS! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Since you are here…. you have access to them, and this month some of the best wellness tools are FREE with qualifying purchase.
ย 
๐ŸˆOrange Vitality: Orange๐ŸŠ is such an amazingly charming secret weapon. Sure, it smells amazing, but pretty is as pretty does. It offers digestive support and immune support (among many other things. Don’t forget to check out the scientific research๐Ÿค“ available on the Young Living website. A quick peek there on orange revealed 6 studies (there’s way more than that out there in Pubmed should you really want to dive deeply).
ย 
๐ŸˆThieves Chest Rub: I’ll just say this….. It’s silly not to take advantage of this freebie right now, because when the ๐Ÿฆ hits the airways, you want ALL the tools handy right then right now. Thieves Chest Rub (on the chest, back, and/or bottoms of feet) is a massive game changer. You’ll pat yourself on the back for getting this freebie before you actually need it. ๐Ÿ˜˜
ย 
๐ŸˆNutmeg: Now, you might be thinking…. what can I use nutmeg for besides making some killer fall recipes? ๐Ÿค” Nutmeg supports cognitive ๐Ÿง and immune function. A lesser-known fact (we should all do a challenge and try using it this way for a month)…… nutmeg may be useful for people who tend to wake up too early๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ or in ๐Ÿฅดthe middle of the night! ๐Ÿค“I’m excited to try this for a month before bedtime and see if I notice a change in my own sleep patterns!
ย 
๐ŸˆJust like Thieves Chest Rub, when the proverbial poop hits the oscillator, you need tools on hand STAT. Raven is one you need on the bench to run in and play. It plays well with its teammates. There are some great study articles on the YL website (go look!). Here’s a peek at a few titles for the nerdly inclined like me ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค“
“Suppression of inflammatory and infection responses in lung macrophages….”
“Effect of eucalyptus oil inhalation on pain and inflammatory responses after total knee replacement: a randomized clinical trial”
ย 
๐ŸˆI might just be most excited about the FREE NingXia Greens as this month’s freebie. We’ve been drinking it regularly since it was introduced last year. (My favorite power drink is NingXia Greens + YL Inner Beauty Collagen + NingXia Red + Zyng ๐Ÿคฉ ). The NingXia Greens is a daily dose of 60+ fruits, vegetables, herbs, algae, and mushrooms. I challenge you to find a better way to get all that micronutrient-dense, digestive and immune-supportive help in a single supplement. This is a supplement that has been on my order every single month since it was introduced….. but not this month since we will be getting it for free ๐Ÿ˜‰. (and that YL-branded glass is pretty cute too!)
ย 
Did you learn something new in this post about a product you thought you knew? What are you most interested in trying for the first time or using in a different way than you might have used in the past?
Happy Game Day! ๐Ÿˆ

Sitting Ourselves To Death

Liz James · January 4, 2023 ·

Physical exercise significantly lowers risk for covid 19 conplications
There’s about 1001 reasons not to be sedentary. Even if movement may be hard or foreign to you, there are still ways to move purposefully (chair yoga or exercising in water is a great starting point). COVID gave us one more reason to embrace physical activity….. keep moving friends!

Young Living November Gifts

Liz James · November 1, 2022 ·

Charlie and I woke up early this morning (a normal thing! ๐Ÿ˜‰) and one of the first things we talked about was how fast November arrived this year. Soooooo fast! This year is scooting by!
The first of every month is a little like Christmas…. getting to see what Young Living is offering us for free (with qualifying purchase)!
ย 
Loyalty rewards are like getting a gift card with your 100PV purchase. 10 points spend just like ๐Ÿ’ฐin the Young Living store on an order in the future. If you are not yet using Loyalty rewards as part of your thrifty shopping, you are missing out on savings! 10-25% back on your purchases? YES PLEASE!
ย 
YL Vitality Drops ($10….but free this month!). Did you know that the vast majority of people living in the USA have a fairly significant electrolyte imbalance and don’t even know it? Gatorade and other sugary (or fake sugar) drinks designed to boost electrolytes are helpful, but they create an even bigger problem by causing inflammation in the body (both sugar and fake sugar does this). Get your electrolytes with a healthier alternative that tastes delicious too! YL Vitality drops is an electrolyte blend that also contains more than 70 naturally occurring trace minerals ….. something else we tend to be deficient in. (The Grapefruit Bergamot flavor is my favorite!). What does a mild electrolyte imbalance look like or feel like? Glad you asked! ……. dizziness, irregular heartbeat, brain fog, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, headaches. (When you have the opportunity to try a product for free….. take advantage of it! You never know what you might be able to accomplish with it! I’ve had several ah-ha moments in my walk with YL that have been health game changers for me personally!)
ย 
Thieves Hand Sanitizer (the big one… 7.6oz member value $36.75ish I don’t think the large size is even available to buy right now ) ….. it seems like we live with year round germ season. Thieves doesn’t just help reduce infectious germ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคง spreading, it also has a little bit of extra ooomph. It also helps support a healthy immune system. You won’t find that in your standard hand sani’s.
ย 
I know so many people whose “gateway” oil was/is DiGize (member value $37.75…. but free this month!). Why is that? Well, it’s because our guts are assaulted in 1001 different ways, and if you experience any ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ’ฉ(or lack of ๐Ÿ’ฉ!) occasionally, DiGize just might become your new bestie. Apply directly to the belly button (don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!) for some quick relief. (Side note…. if you have any really stinky gym clothes, I add a few drops of DiGize to my laundry detergent and it does a fantastic job of giving my clothes a fresh scent. If you’ve ever struggled with gym clothes laundry funk, you can thank me now for this tip! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
ย 
Thieves Chest Rub (member value$30….but free here!). We have all gone thru a couple of years of really nasty hacky cold and flu seasons, and this is one staple you do NOT want to not have on hand when you have a house full of hackers๐Ÿคง. Not only does Thieves Chest Rub help loosen up and relieve the hacking, remember….. it’s also got Thieves in it. And what does Thieves do?….. it helps support a healthy immune system. News flash…. if you’re hacking ๐Ÿคง, your immune system needed some support like yesterday!
ย 
Digest and Cleanse ( member value $31.75…. but free this month!) had been unavailable for forever and a day, and I know some people are doing the happy dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บthat it’s back in action. Tis the season for eating and over eating. These capsules are loaded with ingredients that stimulate digestion. For those of you who don’t like the smell of DiGize topically, this is a fantastic “on the go” (pun intended!) capsule for a sluggish or overtaxed digestive system.
ย 
And finally….. my friend Frank! Most people think of baby Jesus when they hear the word Frankincense (member value $84.75….but free this month!). And while anything that was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me, there’s more to Frankincense than simply a good smelling gift given by a very wise man. Even back in the day, Frankincense was known for its amazing health and wellness properties. Today…. if you were to simply search the word frankincense in pubmed.gov, you’d find over NINTY SEVEN PAGES of studies on the effects of frankincense on the body. I urge you to let your fingers do the walking and just spend a few minutes learning about this powerhouse of an oil. I use it daily in my DIY face serum (because of the effects it has on the skin), and in doing so….. I experience other beneficial results throughout my body and mind. It truly has been an amazing (and dare I say, miraculous!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™Œ) addition to my healthy and wellness world for me personally.
ย 
Which freebie(s) are you most excited about this month? ๐Ÿ˜

You Are Worth It! Move It!

Liz James · October 17, 2022 ·

Sitting for more than 6 hours a day raises your mortality risk no matter how hard (or how much) you exercise before or afterwards.
ย 
Chronic sitting has also found to be more deadly than obesity alone (so imagine what that might look like if those two are paired together ๐Ÿ˜ฅ).
ย 
God gave us our bodies so that we would use them in all the gifts we have been given.
ย 
If you have a desk job, please …… for the health of it, consider these alternatives:
๐Ÿ‘if affordable, use a stand up desk.
๐Ÿ‘get up frequently and take a quick walk (grab the mail, take the dog for a walk, take the stairs instead of the elevator)
๐Ÿ‘use part of your lunch break to take a power walk
๐Ÿ‘park farther away from your destination purposefully
๐Ÿ‘learn some basic chair yoga poses you can incorporate into your day.
๐Ÿ‘walk whenever you have a choice of walking instead of driving.
ย 
The short term benefits of incorporating movement into your day improve mood, energy levels, and sleeping at night (not to mention the grounding benefits of getting outdoors if that is feasible in the situation you’re in).
ย 
Consider adding purposeful movement to your “to do” list for the day. NingXia Red, Zyng, and NingXia Nitro are all great Young Living pairings. (So is the essential oil blend ‘Motivation‘, if purposeful movement is low on your list of priorities๐Ÿ˜‰) You won’t regret it!
