So what I try to get that person to do and I don't see many teens anymore other than NBA players , what I try to get them to do is to have a smoothie , very hard to get them to have a smoothie every day . But if I could get them to have a smoothie three times a week and to throw some of these vegetables in , that makes a huge difference . I mean , we know that makes a difference in terms of microbiome change .
