Born This Morn

           Most people understand how important fruits and vegetables are to a healthy diet.  However, that knowledge doesn’t always equate to action.  Gaia’s Green Nectar makes it easy to insert live healthy fruits and leafy greens into our diet.   More importantly, the blending process for Gaia’s Green Nectar prepares the food for your body to use efficiently and effectively.  As you probably know,  the walls that protect plant cells (cellulose) are extremely tough.  That is one reason why primates in the wild spend 6-8 hours a day chewing their fruits and greens in order to get them into a paste that can actually be digested by the body.  Without a similar process (such as high-speed blending) that jump-starts digestion, a lot of the nutrients in these wonderful live foods are not released and simply pass through the body without yielding up their Green Goodness!  The blended live foods in Gaia’s Green Nectar provides that jump-start and releases the nutrients so that they find their way into YOUR CELLS.  Of course, you could also spend 6-8 hours letting your teeth and jaws do the process ;-).  We at Born This Morn do not recommend it.

  We believe that blending is the missing link in the Raw Food solution.  Clearly, raw foods are full of enzymes and vitamins that are weakened or even lost during our cooking processes.  However, our teeth, jaws, lifestyles, and digestive tracks simply are no longer suited for processing the raw vegetables, leafy greens, and fruits that should make up the vast majority of our diets.   Blending fresh lives foods and then consuming them the day the blend is born is the answer!  Gaia’s Green Nectar is a great way to make this truth part of your daily life.
