15/21-day Challenge: The One Thing You Can Do To Balance Your Hormones

My answer is to drink a green smoothie every day until your hormones are back on track, which usually takes 21 to 30 days, or longer depending on severity. Since you’re reading this article, I will assume your hormones are off balance, and I want to challenge you to replace one meal  or just include a nutrient-dense green smoothie as a snack for the next one month. Believe me, it is going to help your mood, mindset, blood sugar, and weight loss restore to healthy levels. Your green shake promises to double your energy. It will definitely make you feel lighter and less burdened, especially if you substitute your problem meal with a green shake.

Why must I substitute a meal with a green shake?

Green smoothies contain vegetables that are packed full of vitamins, minerals and omega 3’s, making them dense with nutrients – thereby increasing energy, promoting healthy digestion, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing antigenic load. When you provide your body with a clean source of nutrients, it can curb junk food cravings and hence trigger weight loss.

How does a nutrient-filled meal help curb junk cravings?

Eating nutrient-filled breakfast can play a massive role in terms of hunger and food choices for the rest of the day. Such a breakfast satisfies your hunger after a night of good slumber and keeps you feeling full for the whole morning. What’s better? It helps in boosting your metabolism and helps in stabilizing your blood sugar levels too. It sets the tone for the rest of your day in making healthier choices in food and activities for the rest of the day.

Will a green-smoothie help regulate my activities for the rest of the day?

Yes. Because a green smoothie is loaded with nutrients and should you choose to add plant protein powder or healthy fats like seeds and nuts, it will help regulate your blood sugar levels, keep them stable, and hence you should feel active for longer. If you choose to skip breakfast or eat sugary or fattening foods, it can cause your blood sugar levels to unwantedly spike and then drop, thereby causing your activity and energy levels behaving erratic.

Here are the key nutrients that make your green smoothie packed with nutrients:

● Vitamin C is one of the most important aids that promotes effective weight loss. Research suggests that people deficient in vitamin C are more resistant to losing fat. 

● Adds fibre to your diet: – Fibre helps in removing toxins, thereby keeping things moving, by giving you a sense of fullness and protecting your gut from disease and injury. Weight loss triggers faster once your fibre intake increases. This is definitely because fibre satiates you faster, as it takes longer to digest than other foods and absorbs water as it moves through your gut. Additionally, fresh fruits and vegetables are foods that are high in fibre, and are typically low in calories too though we do not count calories at Truhealing.

● Healthy fats: Like those found in nuts, fish and vegetables, these are essential for overall health, and help in your weight loss journey. When you eat healthy fats in moderation, they fulfil your dietary requirements without spiking your risk of chronic diseases. Seeds and nuts are supremely rich in fibre, protein and healthy fats, which can make you feel full quicker than carbs or unhealthy fats.

Is a smoothie drink greater in nutrient absorption as compared to food that is chewed?

It is found that smoothies do allow for greater nutrient absorption as blending the fruit and vegetables helps to release more nutrients than just chewing them. If you don’t like eating/chewing greens (spinach, mint, celery etc.), adding them to smoothies is a great way of incorporating them into your diet.

On the other hand, chewing the food has the advantage of taking longer to eat while you chew, which gives your brain greater time frame to receive the message that you feel ful
