Starting My Healthy Living Journey

My healthy living journey started 2 1/2 years ago when I was introduced to a company called
'LIV International'. Their pure and healthy products and their mission to improve the lives of people have changed my health and my life for the better!

What's in Green2O? Grape Seed Extract!

This week, I am researching the Liv International product called Green2O. Most people refer to it simply as the "green drink," because it is dark green in color. It is a powder mix that you combine with water for a surprisingly refreshing drink. (I say "surprisingly" because that green color can be a little off-putting at first, although you forget all about it once you taste Green2O.) You can get a lemony or a minty version of this healthy drink, and there's no harm in drinking it all day long.

One of the major ingredients in Green2O is grape seed extract. This substance comes from (you guessed it) the seeds of grapes. Grape seeds are full of powerful antioxidants and other cancer-inhibiting nutrients. Studies have shown that grape seed extract can help treat high blood pressure and lower inflammation. If you're worried about high cholesterol, grape seed extract helps with that, too.

Grape seed extract is used medicinally throughout Europe and it is also an ingredient in many pharmaceuticals. No long-term studies have tested the safety of grape seed extract, but many short-term studies suggest that it is great for you.

Welcome! Learn about Liv International!

Hi. Welcome to this new blog! The goofy-looking person in this picture is me, Jessi, and I am obsessed with my health. I care about feeling good and having a body that works as it should. Ever since I found out that I was diabetic three years ago, I have spent a lot of time learning and researching about all things healthy. It has become a way of life for me.

I am teaming up with my Mom, Barbara, and my sister Sara, to create a blog for health-obsessed people like me. My mom and sister have introduced me to a company called Liv International that is devoted to selling health products and supplements.

I have taken it upon myself to play detective and learn all there is to know about the benefits of Liv products and the science behind what makes them good for you. In the next several weeks, I will introduce each product and explain just what makes them so healthy. You'll soon meet my sister and my mom, and they will post about their personal experiences with the products.

So check back tomorrow and just about every day after that—just to make sure that you don't miss out on any of the juicy details.
