HoneyColony Equilibrium Energy Superfood | Review

After my normal chronic illnesses and my chronic back and leg pain I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle.That means no more skipping meals, exercising lightly in a way my body can actually deal with, and taking plenty of supplements No, seriously, the amount of supplements that my doctor tells me what i should take on a regular basis i am shocked, When my doctor told me that i should be taking these supplements each day for my health i didn't know what it was or how to take it on a normal process as i was kinda new to the whole thing.When I given the opportunity to try and  review Honey Colony Equilibrium Energy through Chronic Illness Bloggers Network, I was excited to see how I could see if this new energy supplement would keep me in good shape and also to get me active on exercise,Creating healthy habits is a process. It supposedly takes 30 days to form a new habit— or at least my doctor told me to convince me to keep a eye on my weight and a eye on it, . My advice is start off slow. Pick just one new habit at a time and work only on that until it’s part of your routine. After that, try adding in a new habit!Stuck on what to try? Here are some of my healthy ideas!

1. Exercise for 30 minutes a day! It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. You don’t need special equipment, a gym membership, or even a plan. Try walking around your neighborhood or, if you’ve got better knees than me, try taking the stairs. Keep  healthier snacks and food chart to keep a record of what you are eating on a regular basis.
2. Drink more water! Swap out a soda or coffee for a glass of water. Carry a water bottle with you while you run errands. If you don’t like plain water, try adding lemon or lime.
3. Get an extra serving of fruit or veggies. Try your hand at making veggie noodles, or have a meatless meal once a week. If you can’t do fiber, consider treating yourself to a juice instead.
4. Don’t skip meals! Keep some easy food on hand for days you feel like phoning it in on the dinner front.

Call a friend. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Cultivating your personal relationships can help keep you from feeling isolatedHoney Colony Equilibrium Energy is a raw honey based superfood. It contains prebiotics (yes , you read that right!), phytoplankton, blue algae, medicinal mushrooms, adaptogenic herbs, ORMUS, ginger, organic turmeric, bee pollen, bee propolis, and royal jelly, all mixed into a base of raw honey. These superfoods supposedly boost your mental and physical energy, boost electrolytes, boost anti-oxidants,  and more. It is free of gluten, soy, wheat, pesticides, nuts, herbicides, and added sugar. All the bee products come from family-owned farms in California, which is a huge bonus to me. I love supporting small or local farmers whenever possible.Honey Colony suggests taking one spoonful plain each morning on an empty stomach. The taste can be off-putting, however, so it’s okay to mix it into a smoothie or protein shake. Another blogger suggested mixing it in with tea.I decided to take it like the directions suggested. The taste and texture was really weird to me, so after the first day, I decided to take another route. I’ve been starting my mornings with a smoothie or protein shake with Equilibrium Energy mixed into it, which has turned out to be a much nicer way of ingestion. Since I try to have a healthy breakfast each morning, knowing that I’m adding a ton of superfoods into my smoothie makes me feel good. It reminds me of an article I read about what celebrities eat for breakfast— several of them had smoothies with similar ingredients

1. Once I got past the taste and texture of Honey Colony Equilibrium Energy, I enjoyed the product. Turmeric is proven to help reduce inflammation, which is great for people like me who have a chronic illness. Ginger is also a potent herb, and probably the one that’s easiest to taste in Equilibrium Energy. I had never heard of prebiotics before trying Equilibrium Energy by Honey Colony, but since researching them, I feel good about taking something that has them in it every morning.
2. If you’re unsure about prebiotics, like I was, here’s a quick breakdown: they’re food products you can’t digest that promote the growth of pre-existing (beneficial) gut bacteria. Unlike probiotics, which introduce new “good” bacteria into your intestines, prebiotics work with what’s already there. I’m not sure that I had a lot to work with, since part of Celiac Disease is the destruction of your gut biome, but whatever’s left in there could definitely use help.
3. Did it help: This is the most pressing question of any product review. Did it really work? Like most supplements, benefits are gradual and can take time to notice. I did feel a bit more energetic after taking it for several weeks, but I’m sure I would see the most dramatic effects if I stopped taking it. Just like with many medications, a lot of times you don’t notice the effects until they’re not there anymore!

if you’re looking to introduce more superfoods into your diet, Honey Colony Equilibrium Energy is a great way to do that. It has a wide variety of superfoods that claim many different effects. At $98.50 for 12 ounces, it is a little on the pricey side, but it’s much cheaper than buying all of the superfoods separately! (I actually priced it for you: buying enough supplements of all the ingredients to last the same amount of time as 12 ounces of Equilibrium Energy will run you roughly $210.)Have you ever tried a superfood supplement?
