Exploring the Benefits of Plant-Based Supplements

Posted By Enerhealth on Health

https://enerhealthbotanicals.com - What are Plant-based Supplements?
Plant based supplements are dietary supplements derived from natural sources like herbs, fruits, stems, seeds and other botanical ingredients. These natural supplements offer a holistic approach to health and wellness, providing various benefits as an alternative to synthetic and chemical-based supplements.  
Incorporating plant-based supplements into one's daily routine can offer numerous advantages, as they work in harmony with the body's natural processes.
What are the Benefits of Plant-based Supplements? 
1. Optimal Absorption: Plant-based supplements have a greater bioavailability and are more easily absorbed by the body, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption and utilization.
2. Increased Nutrient Intake: Plant-based supplements can provide essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals that may be missing in your diet.
3. Decreased Toxicity Rates: In some cases, too many supplements can buildup toxicity in the body. Ingesting too many synthetic supplements has a higher risk of causing toxicity than ingesting too many natural supplements. 
4. Completely Natural: Plant-based supplements are guaranteed to be natural and free of preservatives, synthetic fillers and artificial dyes. 
5. Support Immune System: Plant-based supplements contain compounds that support the immune system and help fight off infection. 
6. Improve Digestion: Plant-based supplements may help to improve digestion and reduce inflammation.
7. Promote Mental Clarity: Plant-based supplements support your body in dealing with stress and anxiety as well as may help to improve memory and focus.

5 Surprising Benefits of Lion's Mane Mushrooms

Posted By Enerhealth on Health

https://enerhealthbotanicals.com - Lion's Mane mushrooms, also known as Hericium Erinaceus, have been traditionally used for medicinal purposes in China, Japan, and Korea. Here are some of the potential benefits of Lion's Mane mushrooms, supported by scientific research:


Improved brain function: Lion's Mane mushrooms contain compounds called erinacines and hericenones, which have been shown to stimulate the growth of brain cells and improve cognitive function. They may also have neuroprotective effects and help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative issues.
Reduced inflammation: Lion's Mane mushrooms contain antioxidants and other compounds that may help reduce inflamed tissues and prevent other health issues from occurring.
Improved digestive health: Lion's Mane mushrooms contain polysaccharides that may help improve gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and reducing inflamed tissue in the gut.
Boosted immune system: Lion's Mane mushrooms contain beta-glucans, which have been shown to stimulate the immune system and improve the body's ability to fight off illness.
Reduced mental agitation and sadness: Lion's Mane mushrooms may have mood-boosting effects and help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, possibly by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.


Here at Enerhealth our Spagyric Lion's Mane extract is a dual extraction using organic ethanol and water using both fruiting bodies and mycelium. These extracts and super bio-available due to the presence of the spagyric process where we extract the mineral salts present in the fruiting bodies and re-introduce them into the extraction. Salt is one of the elements that your body craves and is almost immediately incorporated into your cells, taking the active and important compounds with them!
Overall, Lion's Mane mushrooms are a nutrient-rich food that may provide a range of health benefits. However, more research is needed to fully understand their effects on human health. It's important to note that while lion's mane mushrooms are generally safe to consume, people with allergies to mushrooms should avoid them, and it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement or food to your diet.

Veganism: What You Need to Know

Posted By Enerhealth on Health

https://enerhealthbotanicals.com - Are you curious about the vegan lifestyle? Eating vegan, or plant based diets, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more people embracing this plant-based way of living. But what exactly does it mean to eat vegan? Let's explore this topic and discover the ins and outs of veganism.
What does it mean to be vegan?
Veganism is a dietary and lifestyle choice that excludes the consumption of any animal products. This means avoiding meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and even honey. Vegans also steer clear of products that are derived from animals, such as leather, fur, and cosmetics tested on animals.

Why do people choose to eat vegan?
There are various reasons why individuals choose to adopt a vegan lifestyle. Some do it for ethical reasons, as they believe in the rights and welfare of animals. Others are motivated by environmental concerns, as animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. Additionally, many people opt for a vegan diet for health reasons, as it has been linked to lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer.
What are the benefits of eating vegan?
Eating vegan can have numerous benefits for both individuals and the planet. Plant-based diets tend to be rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals while being lower in saturated fats and cholesterol. This can lead to improved digestion, weight management, and reduced risk of chronic diseases. Veganism also promotes sustainability by reducing the demand for animal agriculture, which is known for its significant environmental impact.
How can someone start eating vegan?
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle may seem daunting at first, but it can be done gradually. Start by incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Experiment with new recipes and explore the wide variety of vegan alternatives available, such as plant-based milks, cheeses, and meat substitutes. It's also important to educate yourself about proper nutrition to ensure you're meeting your body's needs for essential nutrients like protein, iron, and vitamin B12.
There are many vegan nutritional brands that make transitioning and sustaining a healthy vegan lifestyle achievable. At Enerhealth Botanicals we create nutritional vegan powders that can be quickly added into any diet to help supplement nutrients and improve overall health. For example, our Enerfood Organic Green Superfood Powder can be added into any smoothie to provide natural energy and 20 synergistic nutrient dense ingredients. Some of our other products include Coconut Milk Powder and Cocoa Mojo Powder, together these powders create a delicious vegan hot cocoa. Finding ways to create classic treats in a vegan friendly way is a great way to stick to your new vegan lifestyle. 
Is eating vegan for everyone?
Eating vegan is a personal choice, and it may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals may have specific dietary requirements or medical conditions that necessitate the inclusion of animal products. It's essential to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making any significant dietary changes.
In conclusion, eating vegan involves adopting a plant-based diet and lifestyle that excludes the consumption of animal products. It has gained popularity due to its ethical, environmental, and health-related benefits. By understanding what it means to be vegan and gradually incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet, you can embark on a journey towards a more compassionate and sustainable way of living.

Gluten Fact vs Fiction: Do you Really Need to Avoid it?

Posted By Enerhealth on Health

https://enerhealthbotanicals.com - Is gluten really harmful?
Gluten has become a hot topic in recent years, with many people believing that it is harmful to their health. But is this really true? Let's separate fact from fiction.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives dough its elasticity and helps it rise. Gluten is not inherently harmful and is safe for the majority of people to consume.
Gluten intolerance vs celiac disease
Some individuals may have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, which are two different conditions. Gluten intolerance can cause digestive discomfort, while celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small intestine. If you suspect you have either condition, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
The gluten-free trend
In recent years, the gluten-free trend has gained popularity. Many people believe that avoiding gluten will lead to weight loss or improved overall health. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims for the general population. In fact, a gluten-free diet can be lacking in essential nutrients.
Who should avoid gluten?
While the majority of people can safely consume gluten, there are some who should avoid it. This includes individuals with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or wheat allergies. For these individuals, a gluten-free diet is necessary to maintain their health.
Gluten-free alternatives
If you need to avoid gluten, there are plenty of gluten-free alternatives available. Rice, quinoa, corn, and oats (labeled gluten-free) are all safe options. Additionally, there are many gluten-free products on the market, including bread, pasta, cocoa powder, and snacks. At Enerhealth Botanicals, we carry a delicious line of gluten free and vegan superfood powders including Coconut Milk Powder, Cocoa Mojo Powder, and Enerfood Organic Green Superfood Powder. 
The bottom line
For the majority of people, gluten is not harmful and can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. However, if you have celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or a wheat allergy, it is important to avoid gluten to maintain your health. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
