So as some of you know, I've been reading the book The 4 Hour Body. One of the things he talks about over and over in a few of the chapters is a supplement called Athletic Greens. Essentially, its a good serving of veggies in a small scoop of powder. I immediately went to Amazon to search for it. They didn't have any.
What I did find on Amazon was a product called Green Vibrance. It's got a bunch of the same stuff and is loaded with veggies and probiotics. I ordered that instead. I've been on it now for about a week. I'll be honest that I really haven't noticed too much of a difference. Until yesterday.
I love me some spicy food. Thai hot? Yes please. Three mile island wings from hooters? I'll take 12. Spicy ind... You get the idea. The problem is that as I've gotten older, I've been able to handle the stuff less and less. This gives me sad. Sometimes I say screw it, eat the stuff, and pay the price later. Thursday was one of those days. I went to Taco Bus. For those that are not Tampons, it's delicious, authentic Mexican food. They have this homemade green sauce that is amazing. It's mostly ground up jalapenos and is an intestinal tract destroyer for me. I loaded up my lengua burrito with a bunch of it. Out of this world. Fast forward now to Friday morning. This is usually when things get ugly. Except they didn't. Friday night I ate some spicy Indian food. Today, I'm fine.
I'm attributing this turn around to this Green Vibrance stuff. Specifically, I'm guessing that its related to the probiotics in it. You don't need this stuff to get probiotics though. However, there are so many ingredients and trace elements in this stuff, who knows what may have fixed it. All I know is that it seems that I can eat spicy food again like a normal person. This is highly exciting to me.
By the way, the stuff by itself does not taste very good. What I've been doing is adding a scoop of it to a protein shake along with a scoop of natural peanut butter (the real stuff: nuts, maybe some salt, nothing else) from Publix. There is the slightest hint of veggie aftertaste. But I know its good, because April is now taking it too and she is picky as fuck. We're crossing our fingers that maybe something in this shit will help correct her egg allergy. I'll report back on that later.
