A lesser known reason for these issues is deficient enzyme production in the body.
Whenever you eat a meal, your body needs to break down that food into tiny pieces so it can utilize the nutrients inside. Digestive enzymes help process your food into smaller bits so your body can absorb all the nutrients.
When we get older, our bodies make less and less enzymes, so we aren’t getting all the good stuff out of the food we eat.
The good news is that you can turn things around by eating a balanced diet and supplementing enzymes to supercharge your gut health once and for all.
Three major enzymes target the main components of most typical food groups. Protease breaks down protein, amylase breaks down carbohydrate and starch, and lipase breaks down fat.
Additional enzymes such as lactase (for lactose in dairy), maltase and sucrase (for food sugars), and cellulase (for cellulose) further contribute to the breakdown of the components in our meals.
The easiest way to use digestive enzymes for gut health is to take a supplement like Digest & Debloat + Apple Cider Vinegar.
Smart Pressed Digest and Debloat is 100% vegetarian. Enzymes sourced from vegetarian sources exhibit the highest potency and efficiency in breaking down difficult to digest fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Our enzymes are extracted from whole food sources such as pineapple, papaya, apples and specific strains of fungi and probiotics.
You can take our digestive enzyme capsules before, during or even after a meal! Since our stomachs take a few hours to digest our food and capsules only take about 15 minutes to dissolve, anytime within this time frame is okay.
Many people can feel that digestive enzymes can work faster than other supplements. You might notice a difference pretty quickly after starting them. Most will feel the difference within just a few days to a couple of weeks.
Our proprietary blend contains all the enzymes your body needs to digest food faster and more effectively. The benefits? Reduced bloating, regular bowel movements, improved nutrition from food - just to name a few!
Here's what we included in our formula:
If you often struggle with bloating, constipation, or feeling too full after a meal, the solution might just be a capsule away.
Incorporating a supplement like Digest & Debloat + Apple Cider Vinegar can replenish enzyme levels and balance digestion so you can feel light on your feet again. Give your digestive system the boost it deserves and you might just feel the difference quicker than you'd think!

1 scoop Pineapple Chia Cleanse
1 scoop Organic Pressed Greens
1/2 medium grapefruit
1 banana
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
2 cups chopped collard greens
1 (one inch) piece ginger, sliced
1 cup coconut water or orange juice
]]>We created Organic Pressed Greens to help you feel thrive every day. We do this by nourishing the body with ALL it needs from plants (probiotics, phytonutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals). Incredible things happen to your body when you drink your 5 veggie servings daily.
Here's a short breakdown of what you can expect from the best tasting green juice on the market.
Our Organic Pressed Greens is designed with probiotics and digestive enzymes to help support your health from the inside out. The enzymes help you break down heavy foods like meat and carbs, while the probiotics support the growth of good gut bacteria in your digestive tract. These are essential for healthy digestion.
After a week of drinking Organic Pressed Greens, you will notice that you're way more regular and your bloating has reduced significantly!
In an ideal world, we would eat dozens of veggies every day for optimal health. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for most people. This is where our Organic Pressed Greens comes in. We used over 20 superfoods and veggies in this formula to fill the gaps in your diet. While you still need to consume whole veggies and fruit, this juice will support your health with precious vitamins and phytonutrients from the best organic sources on the planet. Feel good knowing you're hitting your 5 veggies a day with one delicious drink!
Organic Pressed Greens is nature's very own energy drink. Once you start nourishing your body with essential vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, one of the first things you notice is a massive improvement in energy levels. Natural, vibrant energy with no jitters and no negative impact on your sleep. Doesn't that sound amazing?
Recent studies have shown a strong connection between gut health and mood. In fact, about 70% of serotonin (a "feel good" neurotransmitter) is created in your gut. Once you start tending to your digestive tract, you will notice an uptick in your mood, lowered anxiety, and even better sleep. This is one of the lesser known effects of our probiotic green juice!

]]>Today, she's here to share her expertise on how we can all enjoy the holiday festivities, savor the delicious spreads, and still keep our nutrition on point.
Our gut houses a complex and diverse community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, collectively known as the gut microbiota.
These tiny inhabitants play a critical role in our overall health, from aiding in digestion to regulating our immune system.
However, recent studies are hinting at an even more intriguing connection – our gut bacteria might be influencing what we eat by orchestrating our cravings.
So, how does this work? Bacteria, like all living organisms, need certain nutrients to survive. Some types of bacteria thrive on sugars, while others might prefer fiber or fats.
When these bacteria want more of their preferred food source, they might release signaling molecules that interact with our nervous system, subtly nudging us towards foods that contain those nutrients.
Moreover, these microbes can influence our mood by producing or influencing the production of neurotransmitters. For instance, certain bacteria can produce compounds that get converted into serotonin – a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of happiness and well-being.
If our gut bacteria benefit from a particular type of food, they might make us feel better when we eat it, reinforcing that dietary choice.
The conclusion? While "good" bacteria can support healthy food choices, "bad" bacteria might cause you to crave sugars, fats, and other unhealthy foods.
It's not just a one-way street. The food we eat can also shape the composition of our gut microbiota.
For instance, a diet rich in fiber can promote the growth of bacteria that break down plant fibers, whereas a sugar-rich diet might support bacteria that thrive on simple carbohydrates.
Over time, as these specific bacterial populations grow or diminish, they can further influence our dietary preferences in their favor.
Understanding this complex interplay between gut bacteria and cravings can potentially revolutionize the way we approach diets and weight management.
If certain bacterial strains push us towards unhealthy foods, then manipulating our gut microbiota could be a novel way to combat obesity and other diet-related diseases.
Certain types of fiber, known as prebiotics, serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria. These microbes ferment the fiber, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate, which have numerous health benefits.
This is exactly what our gut-friendly formula, Pineapple Chia Cleanse, was designed to do: support your gut microbiota by feeding the "good" bacteria.
Over time, this can result in reduced unhealthy cravings - and who knows, maybe one day you'll find yourself craving kale!
]]>This is where the low FODMAP diet comes in.
Initially created to help those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this diet targets hard-to-digest carbohydrates that can be the culprits behind these symptoms. If you're considering this diet or just curious about it, here's a beginner's guide to get you started.
"FODMAP" stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. In simpler terms, they are a collection of molecules found in food, that some people struggle to digest. When poorly digested, they can ferment in the large intestine, leading to the symptoms associated with IBS and other digestive sensitivities.
The Low FODMAP diet is a beacon of hope for those suffering from digestive issues. Here are some of the benefits of following this diet.
The primary reason many turn to the Low FODMAP diet is due to its effectiveness in managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, gas, and irregular bowel movements. By reducing the intake of hard-to-digest carbohydrates, many individuals experience significant relief.
It's not just IBS sufferers who can benefit. Even those who struggle with bloating and constipation can benefit from the Low FODMAP diet. The reduced fermentation in the gut means fewer unexpected and uncomfortable digestive episodes.
The phased nature of the Low FODMAP diet helps you clearly identify YOUR food triggers. This helps you understand your body better and make informed food choices. It’s empowering!
While the primary aim is to reduce fermentation, the Low FODMAP diet can also support a balanced gut microbiome. Having a balances gut bacteria is crucial for overall health.

Avoid:
Fruits: Apples, Pears, Mangoes, Watermelon, Blackberries, Apricots, Avocado, Cherries, Nectarines, Peaches, Plums, Prunes, Currants, Dates, Figs, Lychee, Raisins, Persimmon, Goji berries.
Vegetables: Onions (all types including white, red, Spanish, and brown), Garlic, Asparagus, Artichokes, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Peas, Leek bulbs, Beetroot, Brussels sprouts, Broccoli (especially the heads; stems might be lower in FODMAPs in small quantities), Cabbage, Fava beans, Soybeans, Snow peas, Radicchio lettuce, Okra, Shallots, Celery.
Dairy: Particularly cow's milk, yogurt, and soft cheeses.
Grains: Wheat (including products like bread, pasta, and cereals), Rye, Barley, Couscous, Semolina, Bulgur, Farro, Freekeh.
Legumes: Lentils, Chickpeas, Kidney beans, Black beans, Pinto beans, Navy beans, Borlotti beans, Butter beans, Split peas, Soybeans, Broad beans (fava beans), Lima beans, Mung beans, Baked beans.
Sweeteners: Honey and high fructose corn syrup
Alcohol: Especially rum and drinks with high fructose additives.
The short answer is YES.
The FODMAP potential ingredients are not in large quantities. They are also all sprouted. Sprouting enhances the antioxidants and also activates enzymes in the superfoods. These enzymes help our body better absorb the nutrition found in the grains and seeds.
When beans are sprouted there is an increase in protein, a reduction in phytic acid, and a reduction of the oligosaccharides (the main cause of gas for fodmap foods).
With that said, try starting with only 1/4 - 1/2 scoop with your dosage and double the amount of liquid you normally drink it with. That usually helps ease your system into new food and allows you time to adjust.

What everyone fails to mention is one massive caveat. For most people, the added fiber does more harm than good. Here’s why.
You need BOTH soluble and insoluble fiber for healthy digestion. But it’s hard to get the right amounts of each just through diet. Yes, even with all the tracking and measuring apps we have today!
Switching to a fiber-rich diet can clog digestion. It might block it instead of keeping things moving smoothly. That’s because most people don’t have the right gut chemistry to begin with.
For the vast majority of the population, with a less-than-ideal diet...the additional fiber could wreak havoc on the already weakened gut.
Luckily, science has helped us better understand the gut and its needs.
We now know that fiber needs to be combined with two other "secret ingredients" to transform the gut.
Until recently, we didn’t really understand how the gut reacts to fiber. We accepted a half-truth: fiber is key to gut health. And we kept adding it to our diet, suffering the consequences hoping it will “do its thing” (eventually).
However, some recent studies have demonstrated the exact opposite of what we thought we knew.
Supplementing fiber without the other 2 key ingredients may actually be bad for gut health.
Through years of research, we found that there are 3 pillars of gut health:
A modern lifestyle can easily destroy the delicate balance of these pillars… this means most people have a “weak” gut to begin with.
You might have noticed that fiber IS part of the healthy gut equation. Excluding it is NOT the solution. Especially if you want to slim down and enjoy long-term health.
However, it only works with good gut bacteria and digestive enzymes.
And this is exactly why we created Pineapple Chia Cleanse.
Most fiber supplements contain one single source of fiber.
This might hit the label claim for total grams, but they are missing the big picture.
When you marry a good source of fiber with probiotics and digestive enzymes, you create something powerful. And this unique combination is at the very core of Pineapple Chia Cleanse
Fiber should always come from a diverse source of plants. These act as prebiotics that heal your gut.
We want both soluble AND insoluble sources of fiber. Why? Because it's the ideal prebiotic blend. This is what your gut absolutely craves.
As your gut is beginning to change for the better, we nourish it with probiotics. These are the good bacteria in your gut that eat away the bad bugs, boost your immune system and create a healthy environment. These probiotics feed off the prebiotic fibers so they can do their magic. One cannot exist without the other!
Now we have the ideal environment. iIcluding digestive enzymes is the next step. These help you break down old, undigested food. Rotten food that has been wasting away in your gut and causing chronic bloating.
Finally, the fiber works as the perfect push broom to sweep all that waste out.
This is the perfect cycle of harmony that nature designed to keep our gut nourished.
It’s ESSENTIAL to supplement ALL of the above in order to help your gut adapt to the increased fiber intake.
By supercharging your gut with probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes, you’re creating the perfect conditions so that your body can TRULY benefit from fiber.

So, whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or you're a seasoned health enthusiast, join us as we delve into the wonderful world of complete nutrition.
In this blog, we'll explore the essential components of a balanced diet and why each one matters. Get ready to discover the power of proteins, the function of fats, the charm of carbohydrates, the vital role of vitamins and minerals, the significance of fiber, the importance of hydration, and the dynamic duo of probiotics and prebiotics.
1. Macronutrients: the nutrients that our bodies require in large amounts.
2. Micronutrients: These are the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need in smaller amounts, but are still essential:
Our Organic Pressed Greens, Revive Beets + Roots, and Immunity Wellness are very rich in vitamins and minerals. This is because we cold-pressed organic veggies, roots, and superfoods to keep the nutrients intact.
3. Fiber: dietary fiber can help maintain bowel health, control blood sugar levels, and help with weight loss. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. A great additional source is Pineapple Chia Cleanse (1 serving = 25% RDI)
4. Water: About 60% of our body is water. It's vital for every system in our body to function properly. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water daily.
5. Phytonutrients: These are chemicals produced by plants.
They're not essential for keeping us alive, but they can transform our health. They're found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. All our juices are also packed with phytonutrients!
Understanding complete nutrition is about more than just counting calories or following the latest diet trend. It's about recognizing the unique and crucial role that each nutrient plays in our overall health and wellbeing. From proteins to fats, carbohydrates to fiber, and the often-overlooked importance of hydration and gut health, each element contributes to the symphony of our body's functions.
Embracing complete nutrition means understanding these roles and making mindful choices that reflect a balanced and comprehensive approach to our meals. It's not about perfection, but about making a concerted effort to nourish our bodies with what they need most.
Remember, while this guide provides a comprehensive overview of complete nutrition, individual needs can vary greatly. Always listen to your body and consider seeking professional guidance if you're unsure about what your specific dietary needs might be.

Hormones can influence your emotional state, hunger pangs, sleep patterns, sexual functioning, and even how you metabolize food - the last one being crucial for weight management.
This is why balancing hormones is SO important. If there's too much or too little of a certain hormone, you may experience issues with mood, weight, blood sugar regulation, and fat storage.
And now for the million dollar question:
Which hormones should we really be looking at when it comes to that stubborn abdominal fat?
Let's put some of the key hormones involved in weight and fat loss under the microscope.
Insulin is produced by the pancreas, and it helps our body use blood sugar for energy. Blood sugar (glucose) is your fuel.
Consuming a diet loaded with sugar, simple carbs, and processed foods leads to a rapid rise in glucose. This triggers our body to produce more insulin to balance it.
Regular intake of these types of food can cause persistent blood sugar and insulin spikes. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance. At this point, cells start ignoring insulin signals, which leads to too much glucose in the blood.
When you don't regulate blood sugar properly, you may struggle with excess belly fat. You may also experience elevated inflammation, and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
What can be done?
* Increase your physical activity. Strive for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity aerobic activity weekly.
* Up your fiber intake. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar. If boosting fiber feels tough, we've got your back! Our tasty Pineapple Chia Cleanse is loaded with the fiber you need to manage cravings and blood sugar.
In this era of perpetual rush, stress is a constant companion. The adrenal glands produce cortisol aka the "stress hormone" to help us cope with daily stress.
When we deal with chronic stress, however, we may experience an unhealthy surge in blood sugar and a buildup of belly fat.
Stress can also deplete magnesium levels. This negatively affects mood, cognitive function, eating habits, and sleep quality.
Increased stress may also lead to cravings for unhealthy, sugar-rich, and carb-heavy foods.
What can be done?
* Try relaxation techniques. Experiment with breathing exercises, meditation, listening to nature sounds, practicing Qigong, or simply taking a walk outdoors.
* Incorporate foods rich in magnesium. Examples include flax, chia, and sacha inchi seeds. Our Vegan Vanilla Proteini provides these superfoods, plenty of magnesium, and ample protein to help regulate blood sugar.
* Get plenty of sleep! Aim for 7-8 hours a night. Lack of sleep can increase sugar and carb cravings by messing with your appetite-controlling hormones.
The thyroid gland is instrumental in controlling metabolism. Low thyroid hormone levels can result in sluggish metabolism and weight gain. Hypothyroidism is more common in women than men and is a prevalent issue in the U.S.
What can be done?
* Try our delicious Organic Pressed Greens, which contains researched-based ingredients such as ashwagandha and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, spinach and kale) to support optimal thyroid health.
* Increase intake of nuts. Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, and hazelnuts are excellent sources of selenium, which can helps support healthy thyroid function.
* If you are iodine-deficient, consider adding iodized table salt to your meals or eating foods higher in iodine such as seaweed or fish.
* Consider taking a dietary supplement that contains selenium, zinc and L-tyrosine. These ingredients have been found to play a critical role in thyroid health, and are found to be lower in those with hypothyroidism .
* Talk to your doctor about thyroid hormone replacement if you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
Although estrogen is produced in both women and men, it is higher in women. A decrease in estrogen levels, as seen in women after menopause, can cause an increase in fatty deposits, especially in the abdominal area.
Mainly produced by the ovaries, when estrogen levels diminish, this forces the body to produce it from other sources such as fat cells (resulting in cravings for fatty or sugary foods). Other imbalances in estrogen can be caused by oral contraceptive use and being obese (or overweight).
What can be done?
*If postmenopausal, talk to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy.
* If you are using oral contraceptives, talk to your doctor about some alternative means of birth control.
* Eat less red meat.
*Consider a detoxification for your body, as xenoestrogens (chemicals that come from our environment that resemble estrogen) can result in an imbalance in estrogen levels. Our Organic Pressed Greens contains chlorella, wheatgrass, and dandelion to provide you with a whole body detoxification.
In addition to the diet and lifestyle suggestions listed above, it is a great idea to work with your doctor so he or she can provide you with preventative screenings and annual physical exams.
Apart from your usual routine annual blood work, notify your doctor if you have any other concerns mentioned above (insulin resistance, thyroid, cortisol, or women’s health) so they can order the appropriate blood test markers to further investigate them.
A great way to cover all your bases is to incorporate the EVERYTHING BUNDLE into your diet, which provides each of the superfoods we mentioned to help support optimal hormones for weight loss.

]]>Your metabolism can be affected by many factors, including the climate. Read on to discover what happens to your metabolism in summer and how you can support it to feel and look your best every sunny day!
One primary thing that happens in summer is an increase in our body's metabolic rate. Why? Because maintaining body temperature in hot weather makes the body work harder. This is also why you sweat more in summer.
It's like your internal engine gets a bit more revved up as the mercury climbs. So if you've ever felt like you're burning through those meals faster than usual, you're not entirely wrong.
Higher temperatures can mean a higher risk of dehydration. This is a real buzzkill for your metabolic rate. When it's hot, we sweat more. If we don't replace that lost water, our bodies struggle. Not drinking enough water can slow down metabolism, so keep your water bottle nearby!
Hydration also helps control your appetite. When we're dehydrated, we often mistake thirst for hunger, leading us to snack more. So next time you're feeling peckish, try reaching for a glass of water before diving into the chip bag.
Sleep can be affected by high temperatures at night. We tend to sleep better in cool, dark environments. So if you're tossing and turning trying to cool down, this might be a problem for your general wellbeing AND your metabolism.
Disrupted sleep can lead to changes in hormones like ghrelin and leptin. These control your appetite - when you don't sleep enough, you might notice your cravings intensity.
To ensure better sleep (and metabolism) during summertime, make sure your bedroom is cool. If you can't use AC, invest in natural bedsheets made from bamboo. They help keep your body temperature steady at night.
Research suggests that our bodies tend to crave lighter, water-rich foods in the summer. Now is the time to load up on fruits and veggies (which can support a healthy metabolism). Don't shy away from that watermelon or those juicy berries - your metabolism will thank you!
What if there was a way to boost metabolism, hydrate, AND get ALL the nutrients you need from plants and veggies... all in one? Well, there is!
With the complete plant protocol we created, you can...
This summer, a healthy body is the REAL beach body. So do yourself a favor and start your journey with America's best cold pressed juices!

]]>While some ingredients can make the discomfort worse, the REAL cause is gut motility. Read on to find out more about this issue (and what you can do about it!).
Gut motility is the movement of food through your gut.
The gut is made up of muscles that relax and contract. This is how we break down food, absorb nutrients, and expel waste.
When gut motility is slow, we often deal with digestive symptoms. Heartburn is one of them. Three things happen that can lead to acid reflux in this situation:
The good news is you can improve your gut motility with lifestyle changes. Being active, hydrating, and reducing stress - all of these help the gut function well.
However, the biggest player in gut motility is - SURPRISE - fiber. Here's why:
To increase fiber intake, make sure you consume lots of whole foods.
Foods high in soluble fiber include oatmeal, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, and some fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, and carrots.
Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole grains, wheat bran, vegetables like cauliflower and green beans, and the skins of fruits and root vegetables.
And, finally, our favorite way to increase fiber intake: Pineapple Chia Cleanse.
One serving of this delicious fiber drink contains 5g of fiber - aka 25% of your recommended daily intake.
Pineapple Chia Cleanse is the perfect way to reduce gut motility. It will help you defeat bloating and constipation - and feel light, clean and happy every day!

Whether you've been eating too much corned beef and cabbage or drinking too many pints of green beer, it's easy to feel a little off-track.
When we overindulge, we put enormous stress upon our digestive system, immune system and more. Festive foods and drinks cause plenty of digestive upsets, which can result in heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, irritable bowel syndrome, and other familiar discomforts.
But fear not, there are ways to get back on track if you've "slipped". Read on to discover the top 3 ways to reset your body after this (and any) holiday!
Drinking alcohol can dehydrate your body, so it's important to drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and rehydrate your cells. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day, and try adding some lemon or cucumber slices for flavor.
If you want to stimulate your digestion to clean out the junk faster, consider using Pineapple Chia Cleanse. The superfood fiber, probiotics, and digestive enzymes will help clear you out and restore your gut balance.
After indulging in rich, heavy foods, it's important to eat clean and focus on fresh, whole foods. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and lean protein like chicken or fish to help nourish your body and give it the nutrients it needs.

* Note: When just getting started with a fiber, we recommend starting off with just 1/3 of the scoop once a day with plenty of water. After a few days of good results, you can increase to 2/3 scoop for another week, then work your way up to a full scoop. You will want to take it easy to start- increase fluids and physical activity to help move things along. It is also important to remember that large amounts of fiber can affect the absorption of medications, so take your medications one to two hours before taking a fiber supplement.
In health,

]]>But have you ever considered doing some spring cleaning for your gut? After all, it does all the "dirty" work for us, so we can be happy and healthy, so it deserves a good "reset" every now and again!
Clean eating is the best way to give your digestive system a much-needed refresh, without going on restrictive starvation diets.
Read on to find out how clean eating can help you spring clean your gut for better health!
Clean eating is not a fad diet. It's a lifestyle. It essentially means consuming whole, minimally processed foods and avoiding processed and packaged foods that are high in additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. It's all about getting back to basics and giving your body the nutrients it needs to function properly.
A healthy gut is essential for overall health and well-being. Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad. When the balance of bacteria in your gut is off, it can lead to digestive issues, inflammation, and even mental health problems.
Clean eating can help promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria by providing your body with the nutrients it needs to support the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, are particularly beneficial for gut health.
In addition to promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria, clean eating can also help reduce inflammation in the gut.
Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can damage your gut lining and lead to a variety of health problems.
By consuming anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish, you can help reduce inflammation in your gut and improve your overall health.
Another benefit of clean eating for your gut is that it can help reduce bloating and other digestive issues.
Processed and packaged foods are often high in salt, sugar, and other additives that can irritate your gut and lead to bloating and discomfort.
By cutting these foods out of your diet and focusing on whole, minimally processed foods, you can help soothe your gut and reduce these unpleasant symptoms.
Start by focusing on whole, minimally processed foods and avoiding processed and packaged foods as much as possible. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds into your diet. And don't forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
If you need some extra help in developing clean eating habits, make sure you join the 21-Day Clean Eating Challenge. This is a new challenge we created to help you spring clean your gut and transform you health in 2023 and beyond.
Enrollment is free for a limited time only, so make sure you join today!
Probiotics are live bacteria or yeasts that are beneficial for the gut. Prebiotics are a type of fiber that serve as food for probiotics. When probiotics consume prebiotics, they produce bioactive metabolites called postbiotics.
Examples of postbiotics include short-chain fatty acids, enzymes, organic acids, and antimicrobial peptides. Depending on the foods in your diet, your gut bacteria will produce both beneficial postbiotics (like short-chain fatty acids) and harmful ones (like bile).
Good postbiotics - like those resulting from a plant-based diet - can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, improve immunity, and reduce inflammation. Some studies suggest that these can also reduce the risk of colon cancer, but more research is needed in this area.
“Bad” postbiotics, like bile, are the result of eating unhealthy foods and can be harmful to your health when produced in excess.
For example, when bile is produced in excess due to the consumption of fatty foods, it can cause a range of digestive problems such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Excess bile can also cause damage to the lining of the digestive tract and increase the risk of developing conditions such as gallstones and colorectal cancer.
The key here is to have a balanced diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds.The “magic” ingredient is - you’ve guessed it - FIBER!
To help your body produce the optimal amount of good postbiotics, you need to consume 25g of fiber per day as a woman, and 35g as a man.
Besides maintaining a healthy balanced diet, many doctors recommend supplementing your fiber intake. This will ensure your gut bacteria is nourished enough to break down vast amounts of nutrients in your gut and product healthy postbiotics.
The best source of fiber on the market is by far Pineapple Chia Cleanse. Why? Because it was designed with prebiotics, probiotics, AND digestive enzymes to enhance your digestion and sweep your colon clean of all the junk.
You’ll also want to increase your water intake along with your fiber intake. This will ensure a smooth intestinal transit as your body adjusts to the fiber.
At the end of the day, a healthy gut is all about variety, so make sure you include a wide range of veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, and whole grains in your diet.

Intuitive eating is about building a healthy relationship with food. It teaches you how to listen, understand and interpret your internal cues, rather than go against them.
It’s also linked to creating and sustaining a positive body image by encouraging you to define what “healthy” means to YOU.
As you can probably already tell, intuitive eating is pretty much the opposite of every restrictive diet out there. It’s a completely different approach to health, weight management, and wellness. And we’re here for it.
The first thing you need to know about intuitive eating is that it’s not about weight loss. This is an anti-diet created to help us live healthier and happier without micromanaging our eating patterns.
Intuitive eating has been shown to have a number of benefits for physical and mental health. Here are a few of the biggest benefits, based on studies:
Intuitive eating helps you reconnect with your body. You learn to identify your hunger and fullness cues. You also learn to cut through the confusion of diet culture and discover the best way to nourish your body.
Intuitive eating is NOT about eating cake and cookies all day. It’s about listening to your body’s inner wisdom. Once you do, you will simply make healthier choices for yourself intuitively, without punishing yourself with starvation diets.
If you’ve been harmed by the toxic messaging promoted by society around diet, weight loss, body image, and health… then yes, intuitive eating might feel like a breath of fresh air for you.
Maybe you want to take care of yourself, but you don’t want to feel like you’re punishing yourself any longer with restrictive diets and starvation.
Maybe you’re tired of micromanaging your food, counting calories, and feeling guilty when you taste something you enjoy.
If you can relate to any this, perhaps it’s time to let go of diet fads and embrace intuitive eating as a lifestyle.
Our juices can be a part of an intuitive eating framework as long as they are not used to restrict food or replace meals.
So if you’d like to try intuitive eating, we would recommend using them daily as a supplement, rather than undergoing a juice cleanse. If you choose to consume them regularly, the nutrients will help sustain or even improve your health as part of a balanced diet!

Whoa!
That’s a HUGE statement. Don’t worry, that statement is a myth and definitely not a statement we agree with. Starving your body is NEVER okay!
Let’s back up a bit- there are hundreds of different juice cleanses on the market, some of which are truly there to help your body get rid of toxins while others are simply fruit flavored juices falsely advertised as “healthy” juices.
To help you on your juice cleansing journey we will debunk all of your favorite juice cleanse myths. Whether you believe them or not, truth is- there are a TON of rumors about juice cleanses, so we’re going to break it down and explain how these popular myths are simply myths and not true!
Myth #1: You’re going to feel SO hungry while on a juice cleanse.
FALSE.
Okay, so this statement is the reason why juice cleanses have a bad rep. Here’s the thing though, you don’t have to starve when you go on a cleanse. The reason why many people claim to be starving while on a cleanse is because of the caloric deficit. Juices are a lot less filling than food, because- well it’s just juice. We don’t want any of our juicers to starve so that’s why we provide healthy recipes that you can mix your juices in to help you get through your cleanse without collapsing from a caloric deficit- we get it. Another reason why people tend to be hungry while cleansing is because most juice cleanses fail to provide a protein shake. What does protein have to do with anything? Protein provides sustainable energy and helps keep you fuller longer, so yeah- it’s pretty important.
Myth #2: You will lose muscle while on a juice cleanse.
FALSE.
Majority of the time, yes you will probably lose muscle while cleansing BUT it’s because the juice cleanse you’re on doesn’t contain a protein drink (yup, protein is essential when cleansing). You see, regular juices only contain sugar and carbs- how filling do you think that is? You’ll probably just end up having a sugar crash along with a headache because the juice fails to provide the proper nutrients and instead you get stuffed with sugar because the company just wants their juice to taste good instead. This is exactly why we’ve purposely added protein into our juice cleanses because we know how important protein is for you! Not only is protein good to help feed your muscles and maintain them, but it’s also a very important step when it comes to cleansing your body. Protein helps activate your liver which then prepares your body for cleansing. Without liver activation your body won't get rid of all the toxins as it should.
Myth #3: You can’t eat food while cleansing.
FALSE.
This is the top myth that really pushes our buttons. Why? Well food is essential, just like water is for the body. It’s not about eliminating food from your day in order to cleanse, it’s about eating the proper foods to help your body detox in a natural way with assistance from whole food plant-based juices. When you pair a whole food plant-based diet along with natural superfood juices, your body will cleanse and your skin will start glowing. How? Plants are filled with many vitamins, minerals and nutrients- phytonutrients to be exact. We truly believe that plants can heal your body, which is why we recommend eating plant-based meals while cleansing. Fiber is essential to cleansing (which we’ll explore more of in the myth below). Fiber can be found in plant foods like chia seeds, flax seeds, and lots of dark leafy greens. So if you’re missing out on fiber while cleansing, are you really even cleansing?
Myth #4: Going on a juice cleanse will help regulate your bowel movements.
FALSE.
In order for your bowel movements to be healthy and regular, your diet should consist of fiber-rich foods. However, believe it or not there are hundreds of juice cleanses on the market that fail to contain FIBER. How is that possible? Well, when you juice fruits and veggies the fiber is extracted from the process, leaving you with a fiber-less juice. But, if you add plant fibers like chia seeds or flax seeds into your juice then you are getting fiber which will then assist your body’s GI tract to help push out all the gunk that needs to get out to truly eliminate the toxins from your body. Think about it, have you ever done a juice cleanse and failed to use the restroom? It’s because the juice you were drinking probably contained little to no fiber at all (shocking isn’t it?). So in the end were you even detoxing? Most likely not. It’s unfortunate, but it happens. Don’t worry, that’s why SMART Pressed Juice’s cleanse comes with Pineapple Chia Cleanse, it’s the perfect balance of plant fibers (it’ll help eliminate waste regularly) and it even helps curb cravings, so it’s a win-win!
Myth #5: You will lose so much weight if you do a juice cleanse.
FALSE.
Okay okay, so we don’t mean to be harsh but the truth is you will lose weight when cleansing, just not an extreme amount. Why? Well, in order to lose a substantial amount of weight, you must eat clean and exercise on a regular basis. Remember, consistency is ALWAYS key. You see, the purpose of a juice cleanse is to help eliminate toxins from the body. Think about it this way, it’s like spring cleaning your gut. The weight loss that comes from doing a juice cleanse is the cherry on top, but the purpose of a cleanse is to help eliminate toxins from your body. Some people use it as a means to maintain a healthy gut, others use it to help get them back on track, and some use it to help them lose weight. Whatever your reason is, just know that after you complete a cleanse there are ways to help keep your results. Cleansing everyday in order to lose weight long term is not sustainable, but keeping up with a maintenance plan after a cleanse is the perfect way to help you stay on track long-term.
So yes, all of these statements are false, but ONLY if you cleanse from a company that knows the proper and healthy way to detox a body. As always, we ask that you please consult with your physician before doing any juice cleanse because every-body is different.

One of the most convenient ways to get the fiber your body needs every day is to drink Pineapple Chia Cleanse. It provides a fast and effective fiber dose that doesn’t require you to eat vast amounts of foods you hate.
But what exactly happens when you drink Pineapple Chia Cleanse every day? Here's a closer look at the ways it can impact your body and overall health.
One of the greatest benefits of drinking Pineapple Chia daily is its ability to promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation.
Why? When you consume enough fiber, it adds bulk to your stools and helps them move through your intestines more easily. This can help reduce the risk of digestive issues such as constipation and hemorrhoids.
But that’s not all there is to it.
Pineapple Chia also contains a proprietary blend of probiotics and digestive enzymes, which nourish good gut bacteria.
The result? Your digestion experiences both the “push” effect of fiber AND the healing effect of gut nutrients.
Note: as with any fiber supplement, your body needs to adjust to Pinepple Chia Cleanse. While it does that, you may experience increased bloating and constipation. Don’t give up! Increase the amount of water you drink and keep supplementing Pineapple Chia daily until you start seeing the results you desire. If your diet is low in fiber to begin with, start with ½ a scoop and work your way up to 1 full scoop after a few days or a week.
Fiber has been proven to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, by binding to cholesterol in the digestive tract and removing it from the body. This can lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.
In addition, fiber can regulate blood sugar levels, helping you stay away from all the foods that are bad for your heart. Which brings us to our next point!
Another benefit of Pineapple Chia Cleanse is its ability to help you feel full and satisfied after drinking it.
Because fiber takes longer to digest than other types of carbohydrates, it can help balance the digestion process without affecting metabolism. This can be helpful for weight management and also reduces the risk of overeating.
Our customers love the fact that by simply drinking 1 delicious Pineapple Chia per day, they’re able to better control their hunger and cravings.
Confession: since it’s so effective, we drink Pineapple Chia before a big night out, to resist temptation without feeling like we’re missing out!
We saved the best for last!
While Pineapple Chia Cleanse is not a magic solution to make you melt away extra weight, it’s as close as it gets.
Here are some ways in which Pineapple Chia helps you reach your weight goals:
Overall, consuming Pineapple Chia Cleanse every day has a number of positive impacts on your body and overall health.
From promoting regular bowel movements to supporting gut health and aiding in weight management, adding Pineapple Chia Cleanse to your diet is an important step towards maintaining good health!

]]>While this might sound like every dieter’s worst nightmare, it’s actually something very normal: your body is just handling its own business as usual and you have nothing to worry about.
There are several reasons why your weight might fluctuate in a very short timeframe. Here’s what you need to know about weight fluctuations.
Daily weight fluctuations of 5+ pounds are completely normal for everyone. In fact, you might notice that your weight fluctuates (or stays stagnant) even when you’re doing everything right — like working out, eating healthy, eating enough protein, and getting enough sleep.
Here are just a few common reasons why your weight might fluctuate from one day to another or even within the same day:
If you notice your weight fluctuates a lot, don’t be discouraged! Keep doing all the right things and learn when and how to weigh yourself for accurate readings.
How: For the most accurate results, weight yourself first thing in the morning, after using the toilet, before drinking or eating anything.
When: We recommend weighing yourself once a week or even fortnightly and not more often, because you won’t experience significant changes from one day to the next, BUT you might encounter weight fluctuations and be discouraged (happens to the best of us).
