Low on "Bugs"?

Are You "Moving Things Along" Daily?

Granted your digestive tract is not something you usually talk about at a cocktail party. However, we probably should be having more conversations about it, as colon cancer is right up there with the top 3 cancers in this country!

As we get "older" & our bodies are subjected to abuse from meds, poor diets & running in the "fast lane. We get "sluggish" or constipated. And some folks are "proud" if they are "moving things along" once a week! Yikes!! We should be "moving" stuff out of our bodies daily, in fact multiple times a day! 

So if you're sick several times a year, have taken a ton of antibiotics in the past or have a fast lifestyle with a subpar diet - you may be low on "bugs". 

Bugs you WANT IN YOU:

There's a lot of science out there about the benefits of probiotics now. In fact from infancy, breast milk introduces prebiotics to a newborn, among other significant nutrients that are beneficial in building the immune system. 

Did you know that your digestive tract is home to over 400 different types of microbes / aka "bugs"? These microbes include healthy bacteria called probiotics, and potentially unhealthy bacteria. With all those different types of bacteria, finding the best way to maintain optimal digestive health can be daunting.

Probiotics Supplements -Not All Are Created Equally!

When choosing a probiotic supplement, it’s important to select a product that provides your body with numerous strains of probiotics. While many products on the market deliver a high total probiotic count, they are only coming from one or two strains. NutriClean® Probiotics  was developed to deliver comprehensive support by providing the body with 10 different strains of probiotics with patented LiveBac® and Bio-tract® technologies. Each strain has a unique purpose and work together to support everything from immune health to digestive regularity.

Rather than listing each probiotic individually and bogging you down with hard-to-pronounce names like Lactobacillus plantarum, let’s talk about how these hand-picked probiotic strains benefit you. Probiotics are probably best known for promoting good digestive health and bowel regularity. NutriClean® contains several strains that have been shown to do all that plus promote overall digestive comfort. And let’s be honest: there’s nothing worse than being an on-the-go, busy person who suffers from the discomfort resulting from an occasional irregular digestive tract.

In addition to promoting good digestive health, NutriClean® includes probiotic strains that play a major role in supporting your metabolism and immune system, while at the same time reducing potentially unhealthy bacteria that are naturally present in the body. Your body is a bacteria battlefield; NutriClean® can give you the support you need to stay healthy and win the fight for digestive health!

FYI I had a friend that recently went to Europe for vacation, and took a couple of bottles of NutriClean with her. She was so pleased that the product helped her stay "regular" & not "bloated" while traveling. And a bonus was they don't have to be refrigerated, due to the patent that makes them shelf stable! 

If you need to get things moving along, what do you do??

Whey Better!

Why Whey?

It is widely accepted by athletes, body builders and even doctors that protein is the single most important supplement for building, growing, and repairing muscle. Whether you’re looking to shed fat, get ripped, or bulk up, protein is a major component of any good exercise regimen. Men and women alike can benefit from protein supplements, especially whey and casein varieties.

Whey protein is a natural byproduct of cheese production and is also the highest quality protein available. This is because whey has the ideal amount of branched chain amino acids (BCAA), which are essential for building, repairing and growing muscle tissue. Aside from physical benefits, whey also helps stabilize mood and blood sugar levels, increase concentration and attention, and promote a healthy immune system. The stabilization of blood sugar levels reduces food cravings and increases energy levels, both of which aid in weight loss.

Building muscle isn't just for "meat heads"; it also aids in burning fat. Since muscle weighs more than fat, many dieters may weigh themselves and perceive an increase in weight as an increase in fat. In fact, the opposite may be true. An estimated 500 calories is burned for every 10 pounds of muscle. With this in mind, an individual that gains a pound of muscle can consume 50 more calories per day without gaining weight. Thus, muscle building aids in weight loss by increasing the amount of calories burned.

If you bend down to tie shoes, lift groceries, stretch to the back seat of your car, walk through the mall or breathe, your will thank you for the right whey protein for all your "heavy lifting" in life.

But not all whey products are the same - TLS Whey is Whey Better! 

• 21 grams of Whey Protein
• rBGH free
• Sourced from grass fed cows
• Promotes optimal body composition and muscle growth

Does Your Multi Make You Feel Different?

Do you feel differently when you take your multivitamin? Or do you notice if you "missed" taking your multi? 

What is a "Good" Multivitamin?

Even the AMA (American Medical Association) says it's a good idea to take a daily multivitamin. There are myriads of choices, where do you start? Not all multivitamins are created equal!
.

The fact is there's a lot of "junk science" out there! Pills & tablets that contain binders & fillers, block absorption. Some absorption can be blocked by up to 90% -  100%. Some are even coated with "plastic"! YIKES!

A multivitamin in isotonic form has no binders or fillers! A fine powder that you mix "fresh" every day with an exact amount of water & drink on an empty stomach. The isotonic solution gets into your bloodstream within 5 minutes!!! Unheard of with pills, tablets or even liquids! Isotonix are the closest thing to an IV there is, without the needles. Feel the difference!

How do you feel about your health today?

Drugged....

Drugged:

Photo from Bottom Line Secrets

Years ago I read a book by John Abramson, MD, who is a lecturer in health-care policy at Harvard Medical School in Boston and author of Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (Harper). It changed my mindset about pharmaceuticals. Don't get me wrong, there's a time and a place for "drugs". However, the last 20+ years or so, folks have started taking pharmaceuticals like they were "candy". 

It's All About Marketing:

And it's no wonder! With all the "slick ad" campaigns you'd think that all the drugs are going to solve your every problem. Even though they always put in the "disclaimer", while soothing music is being played and healthy looking people are going about their lives, a calm, low voice says something like: 'could cause diarrhea, headaches, stomach upset or death. Ask your doctor about it today!'

I came across this article in Bottom Line with an interview with Dr. Abramson, MD. (click here to read entire article) Dr Abramson stated: "What we all need to keep in mind is that the fundamental purpose of drug advertising is to get people to buy newer and more expensive drugs, not to provide public health education.” 

It’s also worth noting that the FDA does not approve drug ads before they are published or aired. Instead, it only warns companies afterward—sometimes months later—if violations are spotted. YIKES!!

To make matters worse, doctors are "wooed" by pharma-sponsored trips, perks, free samples and other incentives designed to convince doctors to prescribe the same drugs that their patients see advertised on TV or in print.

So we, the "consumers" have to be aware of "tricks of the trade" which the article enumerated on.
Here's their list:

• Misleading language
• Glossed-over side effects
• Medicalization of normal conditions 
• Skewed clinical study data
• Patient programs designed to get you hooked

Remember EVERY drug has side-effects!! So "pick your poison", so to speak. The "illness" or side-effects & drugs that are routinely prescribed to "counter the side-effects", which also have, you guessed it, more side-effects! Causing a cascade of prescription medicines to be taken. 

Did you know that most prescription drugs delete or destroy vital vitamins and nutrients from the body? So if you are taking medications you likely need to be supplementing to offset what the drugs are zapping from your body!

There may very well be things you can do naturally, alongside drug therapy or avoiding drugs altogether.  Do your research, there's a lot of science & evidence based info regarding the benefits of Functional or Complementary Alternative Medicine.(CAM)

This is why I am so passionate about Wellness!

Because: Health is NOT an "alternative".

How Old is "Old"?

"Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age".

 Victor Hugo

Aging is relative to how old you are! With each decade of life we gain a new definition and perspective of what "old" is.

Study Finds Spice Effective for Depression

Study finds curcumin effective for depression:

Explore Supplements.com highlighted the following: According to a new study in the journal Psychotherapy Research, the ingredient curcumin shows promise in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, or MDD.
Researchers provided subjects with 500mg of curcumin daily and continued to monitor their progress utilizing the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), developed in the 1960s and used to rate the severity of depression in adults by probing mood, feelings of guilt, suicide ideation, insomnia, agitation or retardation, anxiety, weight loss, and somatic symptoms.

Not only did researchers find that the use of curcumin improved subject’s ratings on the HAM-D compared to placebos, but that curcumin performed surprisingly as well as prescription antidepressants:

The response rate of … curcumin (62.5%) on Hamilton depression scale observed in our study is within the known range of studies with currently prescribed antidepressants (31.6%–70.4%) and was higher than the maximum response rate expected with placebo (12.5%–51.8%).

Researchers also found a lower risk of side effects in patients using curcumin.
