Have you ever wondered how much body mechanics affect body chemistry and what it really means to your health?

Therefore, we should stop thinking that body mechanics and our daily movement are distinct from body chemistry.

As an almost 40-year-old woman, diet matters to me tremendously as I know how much it impacts my energy levels. 

That’s why quality always comes first with energy-promoting nutrients. 

Who does not want energy, right?  

We all need it for different purposes. And you definitely do not need to be an endurance athlete to desire keeping up with your daily tasks, and never having to worry about your energy levels declining as the day goes on.  

I always look for whole foods - natural food ergogenic aids - to support my daily performance. I am very aware that as I joyfully age, my nitric oxide levels go down so natural foods that I consume need to lift me up with every opportunity I get.  

There is one particular veggie I’ve added to my diet in the last several years that I want to talk to you today about, red spinach. Not green, but red spinach, sometimes called Amaranth.
