The Construction Workers Guide to Health and Nutrition (the MonaVie way)
Any part of the construction work industry is fraught with danger. Nowhere else, (except perhaps on the sports field) do we need to be so alert at all times, and in good physical shape.
Free radicals deplete our bodies and minds every day, causing aging, loss of brain acuity, inflammation and lack of energy. The only way to deal with these free radicals is by putting plenty of antioxidants into our bodies.
Free radicals come from everywhere, and construction sites are particularly good places to pick them up. Cigarette smoke, pollutants, toxic chemicals and radiation are all carry free radicals as do other factors. Free radicals will also occur in our system after any injury. Most of us don’t even think about it. But if you want to stay alert and healthy you need to.
Free radicals are little misfits that need to go around your body finding missing parts (electrons). Once they take one, the molecule they stole from has to go find a part too, and so before you know it all these molecules are racing round looking for spare parts. The result is something called oxidative stress (much like rust on a car). Oxidative stress is responsible for over 95% of diseases, including cardiovascular, joints, degenerative diseases and even aging. The solution is antioxidants. These little guys run around looking for free radicals and give them what they are missing. Because they are made differently they can spare that extra electron without losing balance themselves.
Basically when you feel tired, are losing mental acuity, are hurting anywhere it is more often than not due to those free radicals and oxidative stress. Putting antioxidants into the system halts and reverses the process. Antioxidants are found in foods. Yes, you guessed it fruit and vegetables. To get the level, and range, of antioxidants you need to stay healthy takes at least 5-9 servings a day of a variety of fruit and veggies.
An apple a day is a start, but its just not going to do it. Not enough antioxidants and not enough variety. If you want to turn into a health freak you could run around finding 9 or so different fruits every couple of days and there is little doubt you would enjoy the taste. MonaVie has made it easier for you though.
MonaVie has taken 18 of the most healthy and antioxidant rich fruits from all around the world (all organically grown) and blended them into a nutritional drink. 2 small servings a day will give you all the antioxidants you need (13 fruit and vegetable servings worth) to stay alert and stay healthy. If you have heard of the acai superfood, with its huge amount of antioxidants, this is what is at the base of the MonaVie blend, but MonaVie gives the variety that many products don’t.
For construction workers, sports people, or anyone with an active lifestyle MonaVie Active is the recommended product. It has added glucosamine and esterified fatty acids to aid joint mobility. This is what athletes such as Lyle Overbay, Al Harris and Tony Gonzlas (among others) are taking.
Quick, easy, painless good health and increased energy is what MonaVie offers. Stay awake, and stay healthy with MonaVie.
