As an online health food store owner, I am always searching for the finest whole foods and health drinks. During one of the slowest shopping seasons of the year I decided it was safe to venture to the mall. Finding a parking space was easy, right in front of the most gargantuan health food store I had ever seen. Not to mention any names, but let's suffice it to say that many of the "health drinks” and supplements they advertise are not very "high" in real serious nutrition. While my wife shopped for clothes, I took the opportunity to contrast ingredient labels with those at our online health food store to investigate what was really in all those muscle blasters and questionable health drinks. Perhaps this little journey to the massive health food chain will help you dodge some of the ingredients that are anything but healthy in many of their products. Then, you'll begin to see how an online health food store can be a smarter way to acquire the best whole foods and health drinks. As opposed to naturally healthy drinks at an online health food store, this giant health food store promotes those candy-colored, enhanced vitamin waters. The intensely colored bottles were everywhere, attracting consumers to the bright colors, the low, low prices, and the hope of a health drink they might really like. It is unfortunate that these drinks are not much better than other convenience store products. For starters, the crystalline fructose (concentrated sugar) content in this particular vitamin water immediately created an unpleasant taste and an unhealthy feeling. By the way, if your body could really use the isolated, man-made vitamins in this water, it might be worth the $1.50.. Unfortunately, though, isolated vitamins that are not connected to whole foods often break down before the body can use them for fuel. During my adventure to this health food store I could clearly see there were no whole foods in those candy-colored bottles of enhanced vitamin water. These are some other ingredients I discovered on the labels that I choose to avoid when choosing whole foods and health drinks for our online health food store: excess sugars, artificial sweetener, high fructose corn syrup, and modified corn starch. I also choose to avoid "isolated" protein drinks. The body cannot easily process most protein drinks because they are usually made from "isolated" protein, which clogs the lymphatic system. Many authorities on fitness agree it is a myth that the normal person needs the extreme levels of protein in some of the biggest selling muscle building health drinks. Honestly, many fitness fanatics are now experiencing kidney and liver problems from too much protein intake. These are just a few of the ingredients I avoid in my constant search for whole foods and health drinks that are truly beneficial. Check the ingredients in your supplements. I hope you'll have as much fun reading labels as I did at the big health food store. In the meantime, look for whole foods and health drinks at an online health food store.
