Same with Camu Camu I'm guessing :-)
So, I looked here and here to see what awesomeness Camu Camu brings to the Shakeology party, and it turns out that it's a fantastic source of antioxidants, potassium, amino acids, and Vitamin C. In fact, the Camu Camu fruit has 50 times more Vitamin C than oranges. Whaddup!? Crazy. Because of all the goodies in this superfood, it has been shown to balance brain chemistry, decrease mood swings, is great as an anti-inflammatory supplement, and has anti-viral properties as well (all you old farts like me who had chicken pox growing up are gonna want somma this.) The anti-viral properties in Camu Camu are shown to reduce flare ups in cold sores, herpes, the common cold, and shingles--that thing all us chicken pox veterans are candidates for. Another noteworthy benefit: because it has so much Vitamin C, it helps decrease depression and anxiety as well. How many of us are stressed out about everything? I know I get that way sometimes. Well, some people who have taken camu camu supplements for an extended period of time have reported that they "require less synthetic anti-depressant medications." reference
In fact, I know an amazing woman, who told her story about dealing with depression, and how drinking Shakeology daily, and I suspect the camu camu played a part in this, helped her lower her anti-depressant medication dosages. And to be completely honest, this lady's story is what prompted me to become a Beachbody coach. I took a leap of faith, and signed up without having my own experience with Shakeology to support me. But I've been drinking it 4 months now, and I KNOW that my body is healthier. I can FEEL it. Take care of your body and fuel it right, and weight-loss will be a by-product of getting healthier. Truth. Anywho, here is her video:
And just for accountability purposes, I have been doing my workouts :-)
Nailed it.
See ya Tuesday, folks! I hope your weekend is fantastic!
