Maca Root is an ancient superfood known for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body adapt to stress and promote overall well-being. . It grows exclusively in the Central Andes of Peru. I read in multiple articles that it is AKA "Peruvian Ginseng." It's part of the turnip family.

It is one of my daily essentials that I've recently incorporated. The reason why I began supplementing maca was to help balance my hormones and manage my stress.

Have you ever heard of "adrenal cocktails?" It helps people replenish their adrenals. So if you have adrenal fatigue, this mocktail has potassium, vitamin C, and sodium, which helps with creating essential hormones. I recently learned it from my sister Candice last summer. I began drinking this magic elixir in November and I truly do feel like it has been very beneficial for me. It reminds me of an Orange creamsicle, but a super healthy version that's nutritious for you! There are 3 ingredients and so many recipes out there. But honestly... I love my version of it so much! I have to share to you exactly how I make mine! Recipe coming soon!

Other ideas that I've consumed Maca:

• Smoothies

• Avocado toast

• Orange juice shots

We all know that there are tons of information on Google about the health benefits of Maca. I created this blog post as a reminder to myself to view the key notes that resonated with me the most.
