In recent years there has been a lot of attention and information about super foods. These are foods that help to promote and maintain health and protect our immunity systems. The original MonaVie Acai blend is based on the acai (pronounced “ah-sah-ee”) berry, found on a palm tree in the Brazilian rainforest. They also just came out with a energy drink called MonaVie EMV.

This palm tree was in danger of extinction as it was being harvested for a small twelve inch section called the heart of palm, and once this was removed the tree died never to grow back. MonaVie began using the acai berry from this tree creating a new market for the locals and ensuring that the berries could be harvested without harming the tree. And it is important that every tree in rainforest should be saved, as the whole world’s environment is dependant on it to keep in balance.

MonaVie acai is a blend and it includes eighteen other beneficial fruits including blueberries and pomegranates. The acai blend also includes white and purple grapes, pear, bananas and prunes, and many other healthy fruits. The formula MonaVie came up with is a powerful source for phytonutrients which help create and maintain great overall health. Another plus is that the MonaVie is safe and beneficial for all ages.

But it is not all about business. MonaVie is also committed to protecting and preserving the world and its resources. One of the main ingredients, the acai berry, is harvested from the acai berry tree in the Amazon Rainforest. The same tree also produces heart of the palm and in the past whole trees were destroyed to get this twelve-inch section of the tree, trees that will never grow back. By creating a market for acai berries, MonaVie (through The MORE Project) has given the people an economic reason to harvest the berries while letting the palm trees live.

The company is also committed to other resource preservation. They use recycled glass in their bottles and promote recycling to its customers and distributors. MonaVie works to establish green and earth friendly policies. And by selling through local networks and distributors they are able to eliminate multiple corporate offices which use a lot of energy and material supply.

MonaVie is a health based company committed to helping people while preserving the world’s treasures. They strive to do the best, from their healthful drinks and blends to the way they harvest their ingredients. They give their customers healthy and highly nutritious products while giving their associates the opportunity to run a profitable business. They continue to develop new products and formulas to meet the growing and changing needs of their customers. MonaVie has accomplished a lot in just a few years and we wait to see what they will do next.

-Eating better.
Our diets are all out of balance. We eat too much artery clogging red meat and unhealthy fats but not enough good fats, vegetables, fruits and fiber. We never think about a healthy glass of red wine with our meal but will guzzle down cheap booze at a party every chance we get.

-Getting Some Exercise.
Remember the old days, when you had to get up to change the channel on the television or answer the telephone? Now we don’t even get that. We sit in our lounge chairs with a remote in one hand and the cell phone in the other . Get up, get out. It doesn’t have to mean going to a gym and practically killing yourself, in fact, it should NOT mean that at first, anyway. Take a walk. Rescue a pooch from the pound or borrow the neighbors pug and go around the block a time or two.

-Add heart healthy plant sterols to your diet.
The recommended amount of plant sterols is .8 grams per day. While you can get this from a number of food sources, you may find it easier to get with MonaVie Pulse which contain .4 grams per 4 ounce serving. Two servings of the juice or two packets of the gel is equal to the heart healthy plant sterols that you need to help reduce your blood cholesterol levels.

Pulse also contains reservatrol, which is found in high concentrations in muscadine grapes (part of the benefit of a glass of red wine). This nutrient strengthens blood vessels, making them more elastic and less prone to damage. If you cannot or will not drink wine, this is an excellent substitute resource for you.

Lower your intake of fat and cholesterol, increase your exercise and drink Pulse.

You can overdo anything- even healthy foods, supplements and exercise can be harmful if you overdo it. Think about this for a second: once upon a time iron was the media star. Every where you looked, iron was being discussed. American women did not get enough iron in their diet, the risk of anemia was on the rise. So, manufacturers started adding iron to everything- cereal, breads, you name it, it had added iron. We took vitamins with added iron. But then, women were getting ill- turns out that we were overloading the iron from food and outside sources and that was toxic to our bodies. Iron, while necessary must be in the amount that is balanced for our health.

We overdo exercise and end up with stiff sore bodies and whine around for a few days afterward. The next time we exercise, hopefully we take the time to warm up, to stretch and to play within our capacities. At the end of this session, we are tired, maybe a little achy but not laid up for several days. We have learned to balance the need to exercise with the need to stay healthy and strong for the next day.

We may want to work and make money for our families, but if we are spending all of our time working and none of it having fun, what good is that money doing us? When we wake up one day to an empty house with no one there but our money, are we going to be happy at all? Of course not. We need to balance the need for money with a need for family time as well.

MonaVie can be part of your healthy life, allowing you to get vitamins from 19 fruits and vegetables including the acai berry in a simple, delicious juice. Four ounces a day is all that you need for a quick energy boost, better mental clarity and focus and the benefits of powerful antioxidants. The choice is yours, you can live your life miserable and unbalanced, or you can find the balance and be happy and healthy.
