Did you know that the average American adult gains about 1 to 2 pounds every year? If you add this up over a couple of years you’ve gained 5 to 10 pounds. Yikes! There are several ways to avoid gaining this extra weight. First, drink plenty of water. A quick way to figure out how much water a person should drink is to divide their body weight in pounds by 2. This is the number of ounces of water a person should consume each day. Also, try to minimize the amount of sodas, juices, and alcohol you consume. These beverages are full of empty calories and can be dehydrating. Maintaining an active lifestyle will also help prevent weight gain. Moderate cardiovascular activity such as walking or jogging for at least thirty minutes several days a week is beneficial for most adults. Another helpful tip is to eat foods rich in protein such as fish, chicken, eggs, and nuts. This will help you feel full for a longer amount of time. This is because it takes the body longer to digest protein than to digest other energy sources such as carbohydrates. Maintaining a healthy diet is key. Finally, incorporation of a dietary supplement such as Annie’s Protein Plus into your health routine is also a simple way to prevent frustrating weight gain.

Annie’s Protein Plus is a powdered drink mix, that can be used as a meal substitute because it is rich in protein along with a host of other ingredients including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Annie’s Protein Plus is free of wheat, gluten, artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives, soy, animal and dairy products, which makes it suitable for vegans as well as those with food allergies

What distinguishes Annie’s Protein Plus from other protein shakes is its unique formulation designed to provide gastrointestinal, hepatic, and anti-inflammatory support. Ingredients such as ginger root and glutamine are included to aid in healthy digestion. Ginger root assists in the release of bile from the gallbladder as well as supports the gastrointestinal tract’s response to inflammation. The amino acid glutamine helps with the production of healthy intestinal cells, tissue healing, and immune function. Glutamine also plays an important role in the maintenance of healthy liver tissue and function. Several components contained in Annie’s Protein Plus such as N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), ellagic acid, watercress, and choline help the liver metabolize and eliminate toxins from the body. Annie’s Protein Plus also contains bioflavanoids, rutin, and curcumin to modulate a healthy response to inflammation.
