			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coconut oil has many uses such as lowering cholesterol, helping damaged hair,  repairing skin and you can even cook with coconut <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/coconut-oil-for-hair-02.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-867" title="coconut-oil-for-hair-02" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/coconut-oil-for-hair-02-250x250.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>oil.  There is some confusion with coconut oil, some people often think coconut oil is not good for them, but actually it is fantastic for the heart and essentially the whole body!</p>
<p><strong>Quick Tips on the Benefits of Coconut Oil:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Coconut oil nourishes your bodies cells from the inside out! Cook with it, or eat a tablespoon a day.</li>
<li>Coconut oil repairs your skin, helps heal wounds, and prevents scaring.</li>
<li>Coconut oil also helps boost collagen therefore helping the structure of your skin or the elasticity of your skin.</li>
<li>Coconut oil works extremely well as a natural make-up remover!  Especially great for the eyes.</li>
<li>Coconut oil has anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.</li>
<li>Coconut oil helps to hydrate the skin and because it increases the skins lipid levels, this helps to plump up the skin therefore reducing lines and aging skin naturally with out any parabens.</li>
<li>Lastly, if you love the sun, Coconut oil helps to sooth the skin when you have had too much exposure to the sun.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Coconut Oil Brands:</strong></p>
<p>There are many out there to choose from.  One of the best and the one that I like to use personally is Nutiva Coconut oil.  It is a good price and excellent quality.  It is nothing but coconut oil.  I love cooking with it because it is one of the oils that can be cooked with at a high heat and will not become carcinogenic.</p>
<p>As always thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you at an <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements plus </a>location near you!  Have a great week!</p>

<li>Tooth Decay,</li>
<li>Sore Throat</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>MOST COMMON SBT SEABUCKTHORN QUESTIONS:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1) What is the difference between Seabuckthorn Seed and Fruit (Berry) Oils?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Part One:</strong></p>
<p>The practical difference is the light amber colored Seed Oil absorbs into the skin faster than the very orange Fruit Oil. Always start with putting the Seed Oil on<br />
the skin first. Get used to applying the Seed Oil, then progress to using the two oils together. This is the ultimate serum blend for the skin. It is called SBT Single Source Oil and it is a blend of one part Seed Oil and one part Fruit Oil. Creating a different blend with a higher concentration of Seed Oil makes a lot of sense; adjusting to ones individuals needs is appropriate. I encourage you to do your own “experiments” by treating your skin to different combinations. Have fun with this.</p>
<p>The Seed Oil, from the seed of the berry, is again, a great way to discover Seabuckthorn’s healing and regenerative properties <strong>inside and out</strong>. Try a drop on the back of your hand, <strong>and your customer’s hand</strong>, and rub it in to see how quickly and easily it absorbs and that it does not feel greasy and leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. This is how easy it is to sell.</p>
<p><strong>Part Two:</strong></p>
<p>Briefly, the constituent profile difference between the Oils is the Seed Oil has up to 95% EFA <strong>with the same 106 nutrients in total that fruit oil has</strong>, including 22 fatty acids, 42 lipids, 6 fat soluble Vitamins (including Vitamin K and all 8 isomers of Vitamin E), 36 kinds of Flavonoids and Phenols, Lecithin, (<strong>with the PC being 47%</strong>.), and a recently new total of 41 discovered Carotenoids. Also include 8 Phospholipids and 17 Phytosterols. The Seed Oil has Omega 3 and 6 at an optimum one to one ratio and contains less than 2% Omega 7. Seabuckthorn Seed Oil is a remarkable whole food supplement and arguably has more healthy components and constituents than any other supplement, or food, beneficial to health.</p>
<p>The Fruit Oil’s profile of nutrients compared to seed oil includes, 3 times more palmitic acid, is up to half palmitoleic acid, (<strong>Omega 7</strong>), twice as much Lecithin and Vitamin E and <strong>significantly</strong> more concentration of Carotenoids, specifically, Beta-Carotene and Lycopene. The dark orange color is attributed to high concentration of Carotenoids. Functionally, using straight fruit oil alone topically is not recommended because of the dark color and slower skin absorption time. No harm is done using it alone, it does create results of leaving the skin soft and supple if one is patient enough. Also internally, it stands on it’s own as a giant among supplements and whole food supplements.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/BEAUTIFUL_BERRIES.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-807" title="BEAUTIFUL_BERRIES" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/BEAUTIFUL_BERRIES-500x320.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="320" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2) Which products are for what? i.e. What do you use the seed oil for? What do you use the fruit oil for? Etc.</strong></p>
<p>As mentioned, start with the Seed Oil first for anything from moisturizing to very therapeutic purposes, mostly skin issues and there are many internal issues Seabuckthorn is used for. <strong>It’s for everything the body needs, topically and internally.</strong> As a Canadian Company, SBT Seabuckthorn focuses on natural treatments for <strong>Acne</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rosacea</strong> and leaves the discovery of everything else to the experts. Researching the constituents contained in SBT and then researching the effects on the body of those nutrients opens up an understanding of why SBT is an effective treatment for <strong>Acne and Rosacea</strong>, keeping the context: all functions are related and affect each other.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oz says </strong>Seabuckthorn Oil is the best thing for Acne!!</p>
<p><strong>The complete internal SBT package</strong> is the four core products, Seed oil, Fruit Oil, Berry Flavone Capsules and Tea. They represent 192 of the 194 known nutrients, certified organic, all from the same plant source with the optimum delivery, or utilization system with a one to one ratio of Omega 3 and 6 to create energy and to make brand new healthy cells.</p>
<p>For all skin concerns including <strong>Rosacea and Acne</strong> start with the Seed Oil <strong>Topically</strong>. Again, using the Seed Oil and Fruit oil together is the ultimate serum you can put on your skin. But do the combination at a “Therapeutic Time” during your day or evening, because it takes time to soak in and for the color to settle down. If your skin is still tinted orange by the time you want to have it all soaked in, then wash off the remainder. You’ll find that it leaves the skin a wonderfully soft, supple and resilient. Following up by applying your favourite SBT Facial Cream. Berry for Rosacea, Tea for Acne, it will compound the benefits. Most peoples skin is very thirsty, so this is the ultimate and best care you can do. It absorbs quickly and may leave a perception it’s drying the skin, perseverance will result in the complete opposite being realized and pays tribute to how we need to be supplementing the skin from the inside out.</p>
<p>The Berry Flavone Capsule is what&#8217;s left over after the seed and fruit oils are extracted. It is 100% pure, unpasteurized and more powerful than any juice. It is dried, pulverized and has some leaf particles all in a Seed Oil base. It is very high in Vitamin C, <strong>Bioflavonoids</strong>, plant enzymes and sterols including the <strong>&#8220;Enzyme of Life&#8221;,</strong><br />
Super Oxide Dismutase, (SOD). This nutrient like many in Seabuckthorn is also an anti-inflammatory. It activates the body&#8217;s production of its own Antioxidants, Catalase and Glutathione Peroxidase, (Master Antioxidant), which in turn “recycle” Vitamin C and E as Free Radical Scavengers. This maximizes the efficiency of the healing processes orchestrated by the body. <strong>Taking SBT Berry Flavone capsules with the seed and fruit oil is ideal</strong>. <strong>Consider this supplementation a profound source of nutrition linking it directly to improving Cardio-vascular health from the smallest blood vessels, (Capillaries), to right back to the heart.</strong></p>
<p>SBT Tea leaf has an anti-inflammatory nature primarily from Quercetin, Isorhamnetin, Kaempferol and Catechins. These are natural anti-histamines. Of course there are many other nutrients in the tea including Polyphenols, many Minerals, including Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Copper, Zinc, etc. The tea has a strong concentration of Carotenoids such as Beta-carotene, Lycopene, Lutein and Zeanathan. Ellagic acid benefits throat and esophagus membrane health. There is a profile of 12 fatty acids with Omega 3 having by far the highest concentration and Vitamin E. The leaves are a rare 24% Protein. Brewing the Tea all day or night is recommended.<br />
It is very pleasant tasting hot or cold and has been accepted with enthusiasm by the general public. One may get up to 6 cups of tea or more per tea bag. Drinking the tea is a great way to get started with SBT Seabuckthorn. <strong>Keep in mind that the Canadian Scientists measuring the nutritional value, did it 3 times to believe the high content of nutrition. Consider SBT Tea to be the healthiest tea on the market.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3) What do I start with for resolving my (   fill in blank   )?    (i.e. Rosacea, Acne, Psoriasis, Dry Skin, Eczema, Skin Cancer, etc.)</strong></p>
<p>Start with the Seed Oil, topically and internally. <strong>How much?  Topically </strong>a few drops depending on the area. 100% pure on the face, for larger areas of the body use the SBT Anti-Aging Body Cream. <strong>Internally</strong>, start with one capsule a day for one week, then go to two a day. If you have an acute health situation take more. Taking drops from the bottles is an alternative, 10 drops from once to 3 times or more a day is okay. We cannot get too much of this kind of whole food nutrition.</p>
<p>The SBT Single Source capsules are a step up from the Seed Oil Capsules. Everyone can start on the Single Source capsules, except for people with a very challenging <strong>Acne</strong> condition. Wait till the Acne has cleared up significantly before trying the Single Source, topically and internally.</p>
<p>Drinking SBT Tea maybe the preferred starting place for some.</p>
<p><strong>Topically</strong>, starting with a SBT Therapeutic Moisturizing Cleansing Bar is also effective. Berry Bar for Rosacea and general conditions and Tea Bar for Acne and all other conditions.</p>
<p>Starting with a SBT Therapeutic Cream is also an effective way to start. The SBT Berry Cream for Rosacea and general conditions and the SBT Tea Cream for Acne and all other conditions. The Creams are water based and is a great alternative for someone not liking the idea of putting oil on their skin. Most people will want to<br />
start <strong>Topically</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>4) Which Cream is for what condition?</strong></p>
<p>SBT Therapeutic Berry Cream is intended for Rosacea plus more. Has Seed and Fruit Oil.</p>
<p>SBT Therapeutic Tea Cream is intended for Acne plus more. Has Seed Oil and Leaf Extract.</p>
<p><strong>5) Are the Seed and Fruit and Single Source Oils in the bottles edible?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, the bottles of oil, seed and fruit, are exactly the same as the capsules, except without the capsule. 100% pure whole food nutrition, great for the mouth mucosa: cold sores, sore throat, cankers, gingivitis and more. Please see the clinical and studies on our website, <a href="http://www.seabuckthorn.com">www.seabuckthorn.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>6) What else do I need to know about Seabuckthorn?</strong></p>
<p>This is a<strong> Summary</strong> of many studies.</p>
<p>Seabuckthorn is known to be a Cardiotonic, stomachic, dermatropic, antioxidant, anti-infection, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-radiation, anti-constipation, healthy cholesterol maintaining, blood vessel health, blood fat reducing, pro-blood circulation and pro-natural healing, Seabuckthorn nutrition has a wide range of uses both internal and external, including the prevention and cure of cardiovascular disease, cancers, ulcers (mouth, gastrointestinal and duodenal), burns, sun burns and sun burn protection, immune disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, respiratory disease, urinary disease such as yeast infection, and gynecological diseases, skin disease, wounds and infected injuries, antiallergic, insect bites, etc. As seabuckthorn oils protects the white blood cell against damage by radiation and chemotherapy and speeds up regeneration of tissue cells and promoting natural healing, it can provide essential help to those under going radiation and chemotherapy for cancer patients.</p>
<p>There is no better brain food; nothing else has as rich of a source of Phosopholipids, Phytosterols, Omega 3 and 6 at a natural proper ratio, full spectrum Vitamin E, etc</p>
<p>It is no exaggeration that seabuckthorn is a great natural herb store of natural remedies by itself, and if you decide to take just one supplement, the seed oil is a great one to start with. All other products you choose at your local Health Food Store will be more effective because of it.</p>
<p>Therefore Seabuckthorn Products are wonderful, whether it be the Seed Oil or Single Source with the perfect balance of EFA to utilize all other nutrients, Berry Flavone Capsules, (high in SOD, Bioflavonoids, Vit C, Immune support, stress support, etc.) <em><strong>to increase Glutathione production </strong></em>or the Fruit oil for a higher quality Lethicin, Vit E, Carotenoids etc., or the Tea, as the most nutritional tea, without caffeine.<br />
<strong>7) Seabuckthorn and Hyaluronic Acid!</strong></p>
<p>Promotes production of Hyaluronic Acid (synovial fluid), Glutathione, Co enzyme Q 10, Collagen, Alphalipoic acid, etc., making skin cells more plump for less wrinkles, easier to hydrate, more resilient to sunshine and therefore maximizing utilization of the suns energy and cells live longer. This is the true <strong>Sun Care</strong> and <strong>Anti-Aging</strong>;<br />
getting the response from the nutrition we’ve never had, promoting the best health we can achieve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pgx.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-803" title="pgx" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pgx-156x250.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="250" /></a><strong>Dr. Oz talked about PGX by Natural Factors this past Monday. </strong> At <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus </a>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&#8217;s show so if you have any further questions or there is not a location near you,</p>
<p><strong>Please call us toll free at:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1 866 499 9546</strong></p>
<p><strong>We are happy to do mail orders and answer any questions you may have.</strong></p>
<p>Just quick reminders of what PGX does.  Basically it is extremely nutritious.  It is a high concentration of fibre blends.  It contains both <em><strong>insoluble and soluble</strong></em> fibres.  <em><strong>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. </strong></em> 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. </p>
<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Healthy Weight Loss</li>
<li>Balances Blood Sugar</li>
<li>Helps with the feeling of fullness, so we don&#8217;t over eat!</li>
<li>Great for your colon health</li>
<li>Helps lower the lousy cholesterol LDL</li>
<li>and much more&#8230;.<em>﻿</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>There are no side effects</strong></em>, 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&#8217;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!</p>
<p>As always, we look forward to helping you with what ever your health concerns are.  Hope you enjoyed the article!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_661" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 213px"><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Recumbant-bike.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-661" title="Recumbant bike" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Recumbant-bike-203x250.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A recumbent bike is easy on your joints, easy on your back, but gets your heart pumping!</p></div>
<p>We are always trying to help our customers achieve the best possible health they can.  Genetics play a factor, but what is even more powerful, is what we can do with our genetics by how we live, the choices we make, and of course the more knowledge we have on how to look after ourselves, the better off we will be.  <strong><em>Dr. Oz is all about prevention, and this has been our goal as well at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus</em></strong>.  There is lots of support on how to take charge of your health, but <strong><em>ultimately it is up to you to make the change</em></strong>. </p>
<p>There is no better way to start then to start with your heart!  <strong><em>Heart disease is one of the most preventable diseases</em></strong>, <strong><em>but it is also the most common</em></strong>.  This article is a summary of Dr. Oz&#8217;s proposal to get a healthy heart in just 28 days.  Then of course there will be added tips along the way.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Something to think about</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Every 30 sec someone has a heart attack</li>
<li>Every minute someone dies</li>
<li>Every day 1300 people die</li>
<li>BUT it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way, so get rid of your fear and get excited about the changes you can make that will reduce your chances of heart disease by 90%!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5 Major Factors of Heart Disease</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Blood pressure</li>
<li>Smoke</li>
<li>Cholesterol </li>
<li>Gender</li>
<li>Age</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember that if <strong><em>you look at the 5 factors, you can change 3 out of the five</em></strong>, so it&#8217;s time to work on: <strong><em>Blood Pressure, Quitting Smoking, and Reducing Bad Cholesterol (LDL)</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Other Major Points on Dr. Oz&#8217;s Show:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>How to keep your arteries clean</em></strong>
<ul>
<li>Do this by: clean eating lots of vegetables 7 servings day, moving and stretching, doing activities, finding simple exercises you enjoy ( for me it is playing badminton, but when there is no time, I use the stairs in my house, or use my recumbent bike)</li>
<li>Reduce inflammation in the blood vessels, by stretching everyday before work and when you get home, also reduce your stress, because stress causes damage in blood vessels. Stress makes the blood vessel constrict and this is even more prevalent in woman</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Dr Oz&#8217;s 28 Day Heart Challenge Broken Down into 4 Weeks:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Week One (Improving your arteries)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Artery maintenance</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons of flax seed oil prevents blood from clumping</li>
<li>Oatmeal for breakfast holds your blood sugar, and keeps you from over eating</li>
<li>Stretch every morning and after work</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Week Two (Incorporating Physical Activity)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Try to get moving, get your blood flowing</li>
<li>Challenge your heart: climb your stairs for 7 minutes a day</li>
<li>You can reduce your chance of heart disease by one third with regular physical activity!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Week three (Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Eat 3 fruits a day</li>
<li>Vegetables are now your entree!</li>
<li>Meats are the side dish</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Week four (Lessen Your  Stress – The Silent Killer)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Reduce stress: call someone for a social engagement once a week, pick up the phone and make a positive phone call when their is time, this all helps to reduce stress</li>
<li>People stressed and depressed are more prone to have heart attacks</li>
<li>Have sex more!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Dr Oz recommends the Mediterranean Diet!</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Below is the Mediterranean Pyramid</li>
<li>7 servings of veges beans, nuts oils red wine</li>
<li>Fish twice a week</li>
<li>Poultry eggs dairy</li>
<li>Meats small portions</li>
<li>Sweets</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Other Tips and Interesting Things to Know</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>People living in the Mediterranean tend to live longer</li>
<li>They have 22% Less breast cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease</li>
<li>Dr. Oz is from Turkey</li>
<li>Hidden health secret from the Greeks&#8230; they eat their meals together with people and this reduces stress, they walk everyday and this contributes to less stress and they take time to power nap for 15 min a day</li>
<li>People in the Mediterranean rarely eat saturated fats</li>
<li>In Turkey people know their nuts and seeds: Nuts are filled with the good fats and they help the cholesterol to go down.  Nuts also regulate heart rhythm, they contain fibre and you don’t digest them all the way, which keeps you fuller longer</li>
<li>Lastly, love your heart, but also love your liver.  By choosing the healthier foods for your Heart, you will also be doing your liver a favour.  The liver has over 500 functions, one of them is that it detoxifies you!</li>
<li>Ways to help your liver is to eat: curry, garlic and broccoli</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not sure what to do about your high blood pressure, high cholesterol, clogged arteries or poor circulation?  Many Canadians go to the doctor and find out that they have one of the problems listed above, but because you can&#8217;t see it, it is common to forget about the condition.  Also, many people put off heart medication because of the side effects and are in search of a natural alternative, but are not sure what product to choose.  Strauss Heart Drops is an all natural herbal formula that has been around for years helping people all around the world to literally unclogg arteries. </p>
<p>People forget how serious heart disease is in many parts of the world.  The Heart and Stroke Foundation works very hard to create awareness of heart disease and reduce deaths caused by heart disease.  Here are some of the latest statistics from the Heart and Stroke Foundation:</p>
<p><strong><a name="deaths"></a>Cardiovascular disease deaths</strong></p>
<p>Every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke.</p>
<p>Heart disease and stroke are two of the three leading causes of death in Canada. These statistics are based on 2006 data (the latest year available from Statistics Canada).<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>In 2006 cardiovascular disease accounted for:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>30% of all deaths in Canada (69,019 deaths – or more than 69,000)</li>
<li>30% of all male deaths</li>
<li>31% of all female deaths</li>
</ul>
<p>In 2006, of all cardiovascular deaths:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>54% were due to ischemic heart disease</li>
<li>20% to stroke</li>
<li>23% to heart attack</li>
</ul>
<p>At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus, we have receieved countless testimonials with customers who have used Strauss Heart Drops.  One customer named Merle cleared all four clogged arteries in 4 months! Doctors were amazed and so was Merle.  To get more information come to a location near you. As always thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/GR5527.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-603" title="GR5527" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/GR5527.bmp" alt="" /></a>Dr. Oz has been talking a lot lately about his favourite super foods</strong>, antioxidants, and supplements in general for the year 2010.  When it comes to weight loss he is a firm believer in finding balance by maintaining a solid foundation with a good diet and regular moderate exercise.  Sometimes people can use an extra boost, and they need a healthy crutch to get them on their way.  <strong><em>One of D. Oz favourite weight loss ingredients for 2010 is: Glucomannan.</em></strong>  Many people are in search of this ingreedient and it can be found in Genuine Health&#8217;s new weight loss formula Go4Trim!</p>
<p><strong>So what does glucomannan do?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Aids in the feeling of fullness.  Most of the population can benefit from this.  We are a society that tends to over eat, our portions get out of control and with Christmas coming around the corner glucomannan can certainly help.</li>
<li>It also helps to lower cholesterol levels the lowsy cholesterol LDL.  It does this by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract.</li>
<li>Also glucomannan aids in regular bowel movements!  Many people are shy to talk about it, but having a regular bowel movement preferably twice a day or at least once a day is crucial to living a healthy life.</li>
<li>The medical world is very interested in the safe ingredient.  There are already many studies showing its effectiveness with aiding weight loss, but there are more and more studies trying to demonstrate glucomannan&#8217;s positive relationship in aiding Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, among other conditions.  You can find an abundance of scholarly articles in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What are the other safe and natural ingreedients in Genuine Health&#8217;s Go4Trim weight loss supplement?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Coffea canephora robusta Pierre (decaffeinated)</strong><br />
Helps in weight management when taken with a healthy diet and regular exercise<br />
Sustainably sourced</li>
<li><strong>5-HTP</strong><br />
 Helps to promote healthy mood, it is even used to help treat depression, also aids in sleep<br />
 Helps to relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia<br />
 Helps to reduce the severity and can shorten the length of a migraine</li>
<li><strong>Chromium (polynicotinate)</strong><br />
 Helps to maintain good health<br />
 Provides support for balancing the blood sugar<br />
 Helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates and fats</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Main Benefits of GO4Trim:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Increases fat burning and improves the metabolism</li>
<li>Makes you feel full and satisfied</li>
<li>Reduces emotional eating, stopping you from using food as a coping mechanism</li>
<li>And it balances blood sugar levels</li>
</ol>
<p>So stop telling yourself you can&#8217;t do it.  While you may be struggling with diet and exercise alone, this product by Genuine Health is good for pretty much everyone especially when you may not be 100% sure why you have gained the weight in the first place.  Some people do not realize they have sugar cravings, some people do not realize that they are an emotional eater, and some people are all of the above and do not want to take a fist full of different supplements.  As always thank you for reading and remember you can do it!  Take charge of your weight now, don&#8217;t wait until after the holidays, enjoy yourself, but do it with balance.  Look forward to seeing you with what ever your health concerns are at either <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/p05_NGDO.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-189" title="p05_NGDO" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/p05_NGDO.jpg" alt="p05_NGDO" width="165" height="248" /></a>Renew Life</strong> specializes in <em>digestive health</em> and when ever they introduce a new product to their line it is pure quality.  They are known first and foremost for their cleansing program, which starts with the <strong>First Cleanse (15days)</strong> for first timers all the way to a more advanced seven channel of elimation cleanse, which is called <strong>Cleansmart (30days).</strong>  They also have cleanses that work on specific parts of the body, for example the Liver Cleanse or the Lung Cleanse.   They have special FibreSmart formulas, Ultimate Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and colon soother products for people with IBS. </p>
<p><strong>Now Renew Life</strong> has come out with what is being called<strong> the Ultimate Fish Oil.</strong>  They are of superior quality and have been compared to Nordic Naturals or Eskimo 3 Enzymatics fish oils.  In fact the Norweigian Gold Ultimate Fish Oils exceed world standards for fish oil quality and purity.  Most of us know why we take fish oils, but just to re-cap and re-fresh fish oils nourish the whole body because of their essential fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.  They promote healthy skin, brain, heart, nervous system, joints and they help reduce excess inflammation in the body. </p>
<p><strong>What are the advantages with Norwegian Gold Fish Oils?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>They are enteric coded to ensure that they are delivered directly to the intestines.  When this happens you get<a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/stomach-diagram.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-190" title="stomach-diagram" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/stomach-diagram.jpg" alt="stomach-diagram" width="233" height="176" /></a> 3x the absorption.</li>
<li>They included the the fat digesting enzyme called lipase for easy digestion and to eliminate burping up fish oil.</li>
<li>They have a one a day serving! </li>
