Autoimmunity is a broad word that includes many conditions with various symptoms. With my own
autoimmune/thyroid symptoms I became dedicated to healing my body with more clean foods and
herbal remedies. Prescription medication never agreed with me so I took it upon myself to find simple
and effective ways to improve my thyroid health.
I’ve searched long and hard for simple delicious smoothies that not only taste great but improve
digestion, mood, energy and skin. As a young adult I had countless health issues, such as digestive
problems and hormonal imbalances. I was very confused about where to go for help.
Your autoimmune health matters most, since your body shouldn't be attacking itself. I encourage you to
take the first step today to empowering yourself to by creating a healthier life. Making simple and
affordable smoothies daily can change your life dramatically!
Smoothies are definitely a good way to stave off daily sugar cravings. Though it may seem that making
a daily smoothie might sound too simple to actually make a health difference, just try it and watch how
the drastic changes make you feel! I challenge you to make a smoothie a day for fourteen days!
Once you start your challenge it will be hard to give it up. Your sleep will improve, easy weight loss will
occur and your energy fluctuations will lessen.
Why enjoy a smoothie a day? Well, here’s why.
They’re easy to digest and assimilate in the body,
They're great for stabilizing your blood sugar
They remove harmful toxins from the body
They're loaded with vitamins and minerals
They're a great way to easily add fiber to your diet
They're a smart way to get the fruits and vegetables you need to maintain great health
