Categories: Anti-Ageing, Antioxidants, Appetite Suppressants, Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, Cleansing, Detox, Energy

Cells CRAVE Chlorella!! 

Recently on the Dr. Oz show guest Dr. Mecola gave some insight to Chlorella.  The discussion was around how Chlorella is amazing for daily detoxification, especially mercury.  This is vital due to the fact the AIR is FULL of MERCURY and concerns of fish having mercury as well.  What is Chlorella?? Chlorella are tiny, single-celled green micro algae found in “fresh-water phytoplankton that float on the water’s surface soaking up sunshine and converting it into green energy power cells!  Why take Chlorella?  These fast-growing, microscopic green energy cells are not only packed with chlorophyll; chlorella contains concentrated levels of protein (with all the essential amino acids) and essential fats, along with complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals including antioxidants, carotenoids (especially lutein for the EYES) and nucleic acids. Researchers in Japan and Korea are finding that chlorella intake has a positive effect on blood cholesterol, blood sugar and appetite control. Studies show that chlorella also has the power to remove toxins from the body which can be helpful for preventing cancer.  Dr. Oz also recommended to add cilantro, parsley and mint to your diet to aid in flushing toxins OUT!

Dr. Oz Fat Busters Green Coffee Bean Extract: Renew Life Brand Simply Trim

Categories: Antioxidants, Belly Fat, Blood Sugar, Hot products, Insulin Sensitivity, Weight Loss

Dr. Oz talked about the Green Coffee Bean extract as one of the most amazing ingredients for losing weight fast all over the body. Dr. Oz is all about Fat Busters as he is on a mission to help people lose weight. Sounds too good to be true, but with the research to back it up along with the fact it is safe Green Coffee Bean extract is something that can help millions who are in desparate need of fat loss.

Green Coffee Bean Extract Highlights:

Green Coffee Bean Extract

Green Coffee Bean Extract

  • Green coffee bean extract refers to coffee in its rawest, purest form. The unroasted seeds, or beans, of coffea fruits may slow glucose absorption and stop fat from accumulating all over your body.
  • In a new study, participants who took the supplement did not exercise nor did they change their diet, yet they lost over 10% of their body weight on average and 17 pounds in 22 weeks.

Simply Trim by Renew Life contains Green Coffee Bean Extract and it is of excellent quality with no binders or fillers.

Non-medicinal ingredients : Vegetable capsules (Hypromellose, water) Excipients: None

On the label you will see Svetol® which is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract rich in a health-promoting antioxidant called chlorogenic acid. It is one of the few weight loss products backed by scientific research.  The chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol that is important for plant metabolism which has the same effect on humans.  It speeds up the metabolism by slowing down the release of glucose into the blood.  When this happens the body uses fat cells for energy instead of sugar.

Research also shows that Svetol® will reduce the size of fat cells within our adipose tissue. This positively changes body composition and metabolism by increasing the muscle-to-fat ratio.

Study using Simply Trim

A double blind clinical study of 50 subjects showed the following: After 8 weeks of consuming either 400 mg of Svetol® or a placebo with no change to diet and exercise habits, the Svetol® group showed a reduction of body weight of 5.7% or an average weight loss of 11 lbs. This is twice as much as the placebo group. Perhaps even more exciting is that the Svetol® group showed an increase in lean to fat mass ratio of 4%. Lean body mass is what determines your basal metabolic rate, so an increase in lean muscle mass corresponds to an increase in metabolism. SIMPLY TRIM delivers 400 mg of Svetol®, the therapeutic dosage.

Today Dr. Oz 5 Fat Busters in 5 Days: Raspberry Ketones, White Kidney Bean and L-Carnitine!

Categories: Belly Fat, Blood Sugar, Hormone Balancing, Hot products, Omega 3's, Protein Shakes, Weight Loss, Womans Health

Dr Oz has been talking a lot about busting belly fat, bottom fat, thigh fat, top heavy fat and just all over fat.  This is a reminder post of where to get good quality supplements such as Raspberry Ketones, Phase 2 )White Kidney Bean Extract), L-Carnitine, CLA and Red Clover.  Often as soon as Dr. Oz talks about natural supplements people are looking for somewhere reputable get them.  Therefore, at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus we have what you are looking for all of excellent quality.

If there is not a location near you, we do mail orders.  Call us toll free at 1-866-499-9546

Let’s recap the body types and what is right for you!

ALL over Body FAT:

Dr. Oz’s number 1 miracle supplement is… Raspberry Ketones.  Raspberry Ketones literally works with the protein hormone adiponectin which tricks your body into thinking it is thin and actually will melt away your body fat.  Dr. Oz showed amazing results from people who have used it for 8 months.  The trick is using it while eating right and keeping active.  Raspberry Ketones will help you along the way as you put in the effort of eating right and exercising!  He recommended to start with 100mg or 200mg at breakfast and lunch.

Why can’t you just eat Raspberries?  Because in order to get the extract of Raspberry Ketones you would have to eat 90lbs of raspberries and this wold actually be counter productive as there is just too much sugar.

BIG Bottom:

For those ladies who have a big bottom you are not alone, nearly two thirds of women have a big bottom. This may be the safer type of fat as it is not linked to cancers but it is one of the first places women gain weight and it is one of the hardest places to lose weight. Many women lose weight all over except the bum! It can be very discouraging but there are things you can do.  Dr. Oz recommends that for 5 days you can replace one of your meals with a pasta primavera with lots of veges, some chicken breast and edamane helping shift the hormones in the right direction.  Then very important, you must consume 2 cups of Red Clover Tea containing isoflavones which help regulate estrogens. Too much estrogens is what the bum fat thrives on. Remember complex carbs, low fat and high protein diet is your friend.

Dreaded Belly FAT:

50% of women suffer from unwanted belly fat!  The problem is this type of fat is quite dangerous to our health as it is toxic and has been directly linked to cancer and cardiovascular problems. The good news is this is the easiest place to lose fat on the body. For this group it is all about eating the right fats such as olive oil because these fats help to reduce excess inflammation!  The meal you are supposed to replace for 5 days is your CLA BreakfastCLA is conjugated linoleic acid which is an omega 6 fatty acid that turns fat stores into energy.  Therefore CLA is helping your body burn fat stores.  The key is having a high protein meal at breakfast with some eggs and cheese, because dairy products have some CLA in it (however keep the dairy products in moderation!)  Remember to consume good healthy fats that are found in olive oil, coconut oil and avacados.  Dr. Oz also recommended to eat some tomatoes as they are low in calories and they are a natural diuretic.

Upper body FAT:

This is all the people with that annoying back fat, chest fat or arm fat.  This category is often referred to the android body type.  One lady on Dr. Oz said if she loses anymore fat in her legs and bottom she is going to fall over.  The key here is to use L-Carnitine_with vitamin C.  Your meal that you need to replace for 5 days, is your lunch with a Tex Mex salad.  This will include spinach, some sour cream, corn, beans, avocado and supplements with L-Caritine and Vitamin C as it helps to stimulate the growth hormone  which helps you feel vibrant and young and  L-Carnitine helps to stimulate your metabolism helping you rid your body fat.   Take 500mg of L-Carnitine at lunch.

Thigh FAT:

Last but certaintly not least we have the uncomfortable thigh fat.  This one is trouble some as it stops you from wearing your favourite jeans. Many women complain of doing all the hard work of losing weight in their belly but they still feel lousy as there thighs are still huge not allowing them to be able to wear nice clothes or feel sexy.  This is such a disappointing feeling. Well not to worry Phase 2 (White Kidney Bean Extract is to your rescue.  This is a carb blocker.  The key to your success is to take Phase 2 before carb meals and to replace your lunch with a protein shake.  They taste wonderful.  An excellent choice would be Prairie Naturals Proteins.  They have something for everyone whether you are Vegan, or only eat organic they are the right choice for you!  They have, Rice, Hemp, Whey, Soy… many options as you can see.  To beat thigh fat you are looking at a low fat high protein diet.

As always, we hope that you will come and visit us at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus. Do not sit in silence; there are so many things you can do to better your health! Get excited and take charge of your health. Let’s work together, to ensure you are doing all you can to lead a happy and healthy life.

Dr. Oz Talks About Alpha Lipoic Acid Helps to Prevent Diabetes on Monday March 26th

Categories: Anti-Ageing, Antioxidants, Blood Sugar, Diabetes

Do  you suffer from nasty sugar cravings? Do you often crash after you eat your lunch or feel like you are dragging yourself through the afternoon?  Many of us are struggling just to get through the day all because of the vicious cycle of sugar! At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus, we have been recommending the potent antioxidant Alpha Lipoic Acid for healthy skin, fighting free radicals and other health benefits.  Today Dr. Oz has talked about Alpha Lipoic Acid again and is recommending it to  help balance blood sugar.  Alpha Lipoic Acid is often deemed to be the near perfect antioxidant as it is both fat soluble and water soluble thus able to pass through any cell protecting us from free radicals.

One of the most important ways of beating diabetes is to know your numbers.  Dr. Oz wants North Americans to take charge of their health and being informed is the first step.

Once you know your numbers of course diet and exercise are always key to all health goals, but then there are additional things you can do to improve your blood sugar such as taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon Extract or PGXDr. Oz discussed today that Alpha Lipoic Acid helps lower your blood sugar; he recommends to take 300mg per day and then increase to 500mg.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of the fatty acids that is produced in our cells.  It is also found in some foods such as spinach.  We are always in shortage of this wonderful antioxidant and therefore it is important to supplement with it.

Dr Oz also recommends Phase 2 White Kedney Bean Extract.  He said:Take White Bean Extract: Often times, when you’re stressed out you reach for carbs that increase weight gain. The supplement white bean extract inhibits the enzyme alpha-amylase, which blocks the absorption of carbs and reduces your chance of developing excess belly fat. You can start out by taking 500mg of white bean extract each day before a big meal and then increase it up to twice daily.”

Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid:

  • Works together with other antioxidants to work more efficiently such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E
  • Anti-Ageing
  • Helps ease degenerative diseases
  • Protects cells from free radicals
  • Used in treatment of liver disease
  • Converts glucose into energy

SafSlim works by activating GOOD hormones such as adiponectin which helps mobilize dorment midsection fat.  It also helps curb appetite, kick start the metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity to inhibit belly fat accumulation.  It uses a special blend of NON GMO high linoleic safflower oil which has been shown to help reduce belly fat by up to 9.4% in only 16 weeks without diet or exercise !  This is your ticket to ridding yourself from belly fat !

Excellent article of Dr. OZ and Saflim in Womens World Magazine!

Dr Oz has talked about Acai Berry which is fantastic for stabalizing blood sugar and increasing energy.  He has talked about PGX which also helps to stabalize blood sugar as well as help create the feeling of fullness.  One of the latest is Raspberry Keytones, which is simular to SafSlim in that it also deals with belly fat.  Raspberry Ketones are also all natural and good for you!  They have been shown to actually shrink your FAT cells.

Savi Seeds by Sequel Naturals: The Sacha Inchi Seeds Packed with Nutrition!

Categories: ADHD, Antioxidants, Blood Sugar, Brain Health, Hot products, Kids Health, Pregnancy Tips

Savi Seeds by Sequel are toping the list for being the king of seeds!  Even Dr. Oz is raving about them.  They are filled with Omega’s, proteins and much much more!  They are a perfect way to get a healthy snack in, your kids will love them and there are three different flavours to choose from (coco, salted and caramel)!

While I was pregnant I carried a bag with me in my purse where ever I went.  It was a fantastic way to maintain blood sugar, eat healthy, reduce cravings for sweets and it has 13 times the omega 3 than salmon!  So I am hoping for a very smart daughter!  Remember that omega 3′s are filled with the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA.  EPA is fantastic for inflammation and healing, while DHA is the brain food.  Helps the fetus brain development and reduces chances of ADD and other concentration/mood disorders.

What Are Savi Seeds? Where do They Come From?

When we say SaviSeed, we mean premium, organic sacha inchi seedsthe super food of the ancient Inca peoples. Not just your average seed, sacha inchi seeds are native to the Amazon rainforest and have been cultivated and consumed for centuries in Peru under the name ‘Inca Peanut’. SaviSeeds are the fruit of sacha inchi plants, herbaceous vines that produce star-shaped green pods which yield edible seeds – SaviSeeds. Our premium SaviSeeds are sustainably and organically grown and proudly produced in partnership with indigenous Peruvian farmers.

Details: Nutritional Value

SaviSeeds are rich in nutrients – making them a healthy but indulgent snack. Here’s why they are called a superfood:

Omega 3

Sacha inchi seeds are the richest source of Omega 3 on the planet! At 7000mg of heart-healthy Omega 3 per one ounce serving, they offer 13 times more Omega 3 than an ounce of wild salmon – without having to deal with unpleasant fishy flavors and aftertastes!

Protein

SaviSeeds are an exceptional source of plant-based protein with 8 grams of complete protein per ounce – more than most nuts and seeds. This highly digestible protein is very useful in tissue regeneration and muscle development, and it’s easily digestible… no irritation, gas, or acidity.

Tryptophan

This ancient food source is also a particularly abundant source of tryptophan, an amino acid that can help promote a positive mood – containing about 29 mg of tryptophan per gram of protein, which is more than 8 times higher than roasted turkey.

Antioxidants

Sacha inchi seeds have a high concentration of powerful natural antioxidants like Vitamin E, which helps to ward off cardiovascular disease and cancer by protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Gluten-free

All those with gluten intolerances and allergies can also enjoy this nutritious and yummy snack! SaviSeeds are tested and approved to meet international guidelines for gluten free status.

Fiber

A mere one ounce serving of SaviSeed will easily provide you with 5 grams of dietary fiber, which is 20% of recommended daily intake.

Certified Organic

SaviSeeds are organically certified by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), meaning that no chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides or herbicides are used during production. Precautions are taken even during transportation and storage to avoid cross contamination between organic sacha inchi and any crops that may not be organic.

Flavours

So next time you are in the mood for a healthy alternative, pop into an Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements location and think SAVI!  And when you are looking to describe them remember that they may look, smell and taste like nuts, but they are seeds – sacha inchi seeds to be exact and they have 13 times more Omega-3 than wild salmon, they are also packed with complete protein and taste amazing!  As always thank you for reading!

Dr. Oz Talks About PGX: Weight Loss & Blood Sugar Balancing

Categories: Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, Colon Health, Digestive Health, Weight Loss

Dr. Oz talked about PGX by Natural Factors this past Monday.  At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus we have been carrying this product since the beginning!  This is just a very short article to remind our customers and people in search of this product that it is available and our staff are there to help you further with any questions you may have.  We have had many people inquiring since Monday’s show so if you have any further questions or there is not a location near you,

Please call us toll free at:

1 866 499 9546

We are happy to do mail orders and answer any questions you may have.

Just quick reminders of what PGX does.  Basically it is extremely nutritious.  It is a high concentration of fibre blends.  It contains both insoluble and soluble fibres.  As Dr. Oz says, the average woman in North America only gets 12 grams of fibre per day, but as most health experts say, it is recommended to have 30 to 35 grams of fibre per day.  Fibre is your veges, hearty breads, flax, psyllium husks and foods we most often do not like to eat.  There is no excuse anymore since PGX is there to help make sure you get it into your daily routine. 

Benefits:

  • Healthy Weight Loss
  • Balances Blood Sugar
  • Helps with the feeling of fullness, so we don’t over eat!
  • Great for your colon health
  • Helps lower the lousy cholesterol LDL
  • and much more….

There are no side effects, you just have to make sure you drink water throughout the day, which is something that we all should be doing anyway!  Soluble fibre acts like a sponge and if you don’t drink enough water you lose the moisture in your colon making it hard to have a bowel movement.  This is often why people think they should avoid fibre altogether, when really, its the opposite, people need fibre to have a healthy digestive system.  The key is water!

As always, we look forward to helping you with what ever your health concerns are.  Hope you enjoyed the article!

Nutracleanse: High Fibre Food Source!

Categories: Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, Cancer, Cleansing, Colon Health, Detox, Digestive Health, Omega 3's, Weight Loss

Nutracleanse: your colon solution!

At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements we see a lot of people struggling to find some regularity in their life.  When I say “regularity” I am referring to bowel movements.  Almost half of North Americans are constipated!!  I often joke with our customers that perhaps one of the main reasons people are so up tight and have road rage or short tempers is due to constipation.  We have all experienced constipation from time to time and it is not a pleasant feeling.  With constipation comes: worry, stress, poor digestion, toxifying your body, discomfort and lastly colon cancer.

So what can you do about it?

Digestion and issues such as constipation are not a simple matter.  We often talk to people for awhile to see if they need probiotics (Renew Life’s Ultimate Flora), a cleanse (Renew Life Cleanses) or other things to move their sluggish colon along.  BUT one thing is for sure, almost EVERYONE (especially in North America) can benefit from consuming more fibre in their diet and you can do this by simply eating 1/3 of a cup of Nutracleanse every morning! Nutracleanse is filled with ground flax seeds (omega 3), psyllium husk fibre, and a blend of 3 herbs.

Other benefits of Nutracleanse:

Optimum regularity

  • Cleansing and detoxification of colon
  • Improved digestion and absorption of nutrients by the body
  • Prevention of hemorrhoids
  • Lower cholesterol
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Assists in rebuilding of skin cells and cartilage
  • Increased energy and vitality
  • Maintenance of healthy body weight
  • Laxatives: NOT the long term solution:

    Laxatives are not the sole answer.  Many people become dependant on them as your large intestine and colon become lazy.  Therefore, for a long term solution the healthy way is through getting an adequate amount of fibre in your diet everyday.  Also, be sure to drink pleanty of water.  Other things to help lubricate the colon are: fish oil, borage oil or flax oil. Other things you can combine with your Nutracleanse that are extremely healthy are probiotics (your good bacteria). Then for good measure doing a cleanse every six months will have you in extremely good shape.  With this recipe you are looking at a healthy happy colon.

    Some Recipes:

    OATMEAL WITH NUTRACLEANSE:

    Add 1/3 cup oatmeal and 1/3 cup NutraCleanse to       1 cup cold water in pot with dash of salt. Heat to       boiling, stirring frequently. Turn heat down and       simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Empty       into bowl, cool for a few minutes, and serve with honey & milk. Enjoy!

    NUTRACLEANSE SMOOTHIE: High fiber recipe drink!

    Add to blender:

    1 ripe banana
    1/2 orange
    1 slice mango or papaya
    1 egg
    3/4 cup orange juice
    3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
    1/3 cup NutraCleanse

    Put lid on blender and set speed to ‘high’ for 30 seconds. Enjoy!

    ON THE ROAD? AWAY FROM HOME? TRY THIS!

    Mix 1/3 cup into 1 cup of orange juice and drink it before it starts to thicken.       (Best within 30-40 seconds) While this doesn’t replace a nice warm breakfast, it is ideal for       travelers.
