Time to highlight another awesome superfood you can find in the bag....(the bag of Shakeology that is!)
Maca is another root that is native to the high Andes of Peru and is closely related to the radish and turnip. The natural environment for maca is a higher elevation, which means that there is little need for pesticides because the climates in these areas are not suitable for weeds or pests. Furthermore, farmers have actually found that the root itself is known to repel insects.
Maca is mainly grown for the nutritional and health value of the root. It is usually dried and then crushed into a flour that can be used for baking purposes.
Benefits of the root include:
- It helps balance hormones in the body (which can be a great benefit to those who have hyperthyroidsm).
- It increases energy and endurance
- It enhances fertility, reduces anxiety/stress
- It reduces hormonal dysfunction during menopause.
Let me break this down simply: It is ESPECIALLY great for women because of how critical it is for our hormones to be in balance for us to lose weight efficiently. Thanks, Shakeology creators, for making sure maca is in the bag! :)
