I was reading tonight about Maca and how it is one of the superfoods.  Apparently, it is very easy to buy and add to shakes or drinks.  Maca is grown in the Andes mountains, and has been used by people in Peru for centuries as a main food source, and also a nutritional supplement.  I am definitely considering buying some Maca.

Maca has a wide variety of health benefits.  First and foremost, it balances hormones and improves all types of sexual problems. For example, it helps with menopause troubles, infertility, male sperm count, and low sex drives. What is interesting is it has applications for men and for women.  This is because it doesn’t effect the hormones as much as it does regulating the endocrine functioning in the body.   

I am thinking that Maca might also help with painful menstruation, and symptoms of endometriosis since it has such a great impact on related problems.  It seems that it would be a natural next step that it would help women with menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome. 

Maca also assists with endurance, strength, circulation and fighting oxidative damage to the body. It has 10% protein, a bunch of essential fatty acids, and an array of phytonutrients. I am intrigued! I just don’t know anyone who has tried it.  

If you have tried Maca, post a comment and let me know what you thought. OK?
