Medical professionals and fitness gurus have long known that the road to wellness begins with what you eat and drink. Whether you are training for a marathon or just trying to lower your blood pressure, the journey begins with a healthy diet that contains the right combination of vitamins and nutrients.
However, busy schedules can make it difficult for many people to eat properly. Instead of consuming healthy meals, they subsist on junk food, which is often high in calories and low in nutrients. Over time, these poor eating habits can lead to weight gain and serious health problems.
Fortunately, a solution to this dilemma is only a drink away. Tasty and nutritious fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies can help provide the nutrients that most fast foods lack. Whether purchased at a juice bar or prepared at home, you can’t go wrong with a nourishing juice drink.
One of Hendersonville’s most popular health food and drink destinations is I Love Juice Bar. It offers a variety of delicious juice, smoothie and food options that are rich in vitamins and superfoods.
I Love Juice Bar’s most popular smoothie drink is called "The Doc.” The Doc is aptly named as it blends a full day’s worth of fruit and vegetable servings into one tasty drink.
“The Doc, also known as the 'Drink of Champions,' is a powerhouse of health,” says I Love Juice Bar owner, Heather Harned. “It is the perfect balance between sweet and spicy, serving as a treat or even a meal replacement.”
