Why are antioxidants important

Have you been hearing the word antioxidants being thrown around here and there? This may especially be true if you have began looking for natural ways to help support your body when it comes to things like energy, skin, sleep and just overall body wellness head to toe. You may have heard of things like - blueberries are full of antioxidants or make sure you are getting enough greens in your diet. These superfoods are great for you and we love adding them to our diet for wellness purposes, but eating enough antioxidants can be a struggle at times.

Curious about which foods are full of antioxidants to add to your diet? Here is a
 list from WebMD and here is another list  from St Johns health

Or are you like- "But Brittany, what in the world are antioxidants and what do they do?" Let's back track a bit. To put this as simple as possible.... Antioxidants are the fountain of youth. But no, REALLY, Antioxidants and antioxidant rich foods help keep the body young, healthy, vibrant and strong. Antioxidants can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. They help keep our body systems functioning smoothly. They help prevent the onset of degenerative diseases, premature aging, cardiovascular disease and mental decline. This is why we need them! 

As a busy mama I personally know I am not eating enough superfoods to provide me with the amount of antioxidants I need. This is where my 2oz a day drink of Ningxia Red comes in! Some times I just take a shot of 2oz of Ningxia twice a day and sometimes I pour it over ice & add water to it to savor the tastiness. 

Here is a list of why we drink Ningxia Red in our house...
  • supports a healthy immune system
  • helps us be proactive against all germs coming our way
  • energy support
    HUGE source of antioxidants 
  • supports brain and joint health
  • supports healthy hormone levels
  • can help crave sugar cravings
There have been a handful of times where we ran out of our Ningxia Red or I got out of habit of drinking it for a week or so, and man... Y'all I could totally tell the difference. When I go long periods without drinking Ningxia Red I notice I get sick more often, I feel less energized, as well as less focused and motivated. If you haven't tried Ningxia Red before I would suggest just give it a try. What do you have to lose?! You can start with a 2 pack of the bottles (like here) or the 30 packets of Ningxia red (like here). I started with the 2 bottles of Ningxia since that was more cost effective for me and the bottles lasted me longer (2 months). If you tried Ningxia Red before I would love to hear what you thought about it?

Meet Brittany Weidlich

 
I'm a Mississippi momma to our three girls and wife to my Canadian hubby. I am a retired kindergarten teacher turned play enthusiast.  After spending a few years in Canada we decided to return back to my roots in southern Mississippi where we enjoy the warm weather and views of the Gulf Coast.

Teaching is something I've always had a passion for and something I knew I was called to do. I love teaching but then I became a momma. I still remember that gut wrenching feeling of having to return to work following maternity leave after having our first daughter. I would pick her up from daycare just in time to cook dinner, feed her and put her to bed. This was our every day.

While pregnant with our second daughter I discovered I had high grade cells on my cervix which had the potential to turn into cancer if not removed. I had no clue that it mattered what products or chemicals I was putting on my body, more importantly what I was putting on our children's bodies. It was during this moment that a kindergarten parent introduced me to something that would help us in all the areas that I didn't yet know we needed. I know I cannot protect our children from everything, but at least by using these natural products she introduced us to, I am no longer being tricked by false marketing and am doing my best as a mother. I now feel assured that I am using safe, toxin free products on my family and in our home. I am even more excited about the fact that I get to help teach and empower other families about toxin free products.

How can I not feel excited about the chance to teach others by sharing what we are passionate about and what works for our family. This means I get to be a momma first, enjoying all the small and big moments with our three daughters as we empower other families to take a closer look at what's in their cabinets one step at a time.
