The ingredients </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>inhibit both the absorption of excess sugar </em></strong></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">by the kidneys and intestine as well as the production of sugar by the liver! By maintaining healthy blood sugar, your body will go to the stored fat in our adipose tissue to give you energy instead of using the immediate sugar you have just ingested. DietSTART is for people wanting to </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>kick start their body into loosing weight, for people looking to accelerate weight loss naturally and for anyone who wants assistance in enhancing bowel elimination </em></strong></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">without the use of laxatives</span></em></strong></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">. Now you can OUTSMART your body with DietSTART!</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">Study:</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">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. DietSTART delivers 400 mg of Svetol®, the therapeutic dosage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/large_1302816313.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-902" title="large_1302816313" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/large_1302816313-200x250.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="250" /></a></span></p>
<h3>Directions for Use</h3>
<p>Take 1 capsule of DietSTART I with both your morning meal and evening meals.</p>
<p>Take 1 capsule of DietSTART II in the evening on an empty stomach (3 hours after eating).</p>

<p>Just briefly, these are some of the things that Seabuckthorn is known for and <em><strong>Dr. Oz discussed these last week.</strong></em></p>

<li>Acid Reflux,</li>
<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>
<p>This was a long article I know!  As always thank you for reading.  I hope you have found it useful.  We look forward to seeing you at a location near you at either <strong><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus! </a></strong>Have a great rest of the week everyone.</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>

<p>At <strong>Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements </strong>we see a lot of people struggling to find some regularity in their life.  When I say<em><strong> &#8220;regularity&#8221; I am referring to bowel movements</strong></em>.  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.  <em><strong>With constipation comes: worry, stress, poor digestion, toxifying your body, discomfort and lastly colon cancer.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>So what can you do about it?</strong></p>
<p>Digestion and issues such as constipation are not a simple matter.  We often talk to people for awhile to see if they need <em><strong>probiotics (Renew Life&#8217;s Ultimate Flora), a cleanse (Renew Life Cleanses) </strong></em>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! <em><strong>Nutracleanse is filled with ground flax seeds (omega 3), psyllium husk fibre, and a blend of 3 herbs.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Other benefits of Nutracleanse:</strong></p>
<p>Optimum regularity</p>
<li> Cleansing and detoxification of colon</li>
<li> Improved digestion and absorption of nutrients by the body</li>
<li> Prevention of hemorrhoids</li>
<li> Lower cholesterol</li>
<li> Lower blood pressure</li>
<li> Assists in rebuilding of skin cells and cartilage</li>
<li> Increased energy and vitality</li>
<li> Maintenance of healthy body weight</li>
<p><strong>Laxatives: NOT the long term solution:</strong></p>
<p>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: <em><strong>fish oil, borage oil or flax oil.</strong></em> Other things you can combine with your Nutracleanse that are extremely healthy are <em><strong>probiotics (your good bacteria). </strong></em> Then for good measure <em><strong>doing a cleanse every six months will have you in extremely good shape</strong></em>.  With this recipe you are looking at a healthy happy colon.</p>
<p><strong>Some Recipes:</strong></p>
<p><strong>OATMEAL WITH NUTRACLEANSE:</strong></p>
<p>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 &amp; milk. Enjoy!</p>
<p><strong>NUTRACLEANSE SMOOTHIE:</strong> High fiber recipe drink!</p>
<p>Add to blender:</p>
<p>1 ripe banana<br />
1/2 orange<br />
1 slice mango or papaya<br />
1 egg<br />
3/4 cup orange juice<br />
3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk<br />
1/3 cup NutraCleanse</p>
<p>Put lid on blender and set speed to &#8216;high&#8217; for 30 seconds. Enjoy!</p>
<p><strong>ON THE ROAD? AWAY FROM HOME? TRY THIS! </strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;t replace a nice warm breakfast, it is ideal for       travelers.</p>
<p>As always thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you with what ever you health concerns are.  Remember a healthy gut or digestion is number one.  If you are regular, everything else falls into place.  We look forward to helping you at a <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">location near you!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/may11_silicea_box_lady.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-788" title="may11_silicea_box_lady" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/may11_silicea_box_lady-163x250.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="250" /></a>Many of us especially women are always complaining about one of the following: <em><strong>hair, skin, nails or weak bones (osteoporosis).  </strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Naka Brand Silicea gel </strong>is amazing for strengthening your nails.  If you always have had ripples in your nails or if they are very thin and break all the time, this is a sure sign of a silicea deficiency.  If your hair just won&#8217;t grow and it is falling out or it is thin with no life, definitely include silicea in your vitamin regime every day!  When it comes to hair there are many components.  <em><strong>Protein is very important and if you are vegetarian you may want to consider vegan protein sources such as Pumpkin Seed Protein by Omega Nutrition. Or Sequel Naturals has an excellent Vegan protein meal replacement as well.</strong></em>  Hair is complicated to fix in that there is not always one easy solution.  <em><strong>Often times it is a mineral problem, protein protein, and basically nutrient absorption problem</strong></em>.  That is why it is also important for people to <em><strong>take digestive enzymes </strong></em>when nutrients are not getting absorbed properly.  A great brand for digestive enzymes would be: <em><strong>Renew Life!</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lholmesassociates.com/newsletters/naka/archive/naka_1105.html">Naka has a fantastic news article on their Silicea. </a> Hope you enjoy the read.  It is very detailed and an interesting read! </p>
<p>As always thank you for reading and if you have any more questions we look forward to helping you at a <a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/stores-location/">location near you!!  </a>We have been carrying the NAKA Silicea Gel for years now and our team has experienced wonderful benefits at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus.  Also, our customers only have wonderful experiences to tell us.  The only thing is people often say it sure has a minerally taste wow! Its not awful, but to be honest it doesn&#8217;t taste delicious.  However you can dilute it in water, or mix it with a flavoured drink.  Personally I just take it straight up 1 tablespoon and you are good to go, its not that bad.  So give Naka Silicea gel a try if you are tired of brittle nails, thin hair, weak bones, and</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Renew-Life.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-755" title="Renew Life" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Renew-Life-210x250.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="250" /></a>Today is a quick tip on how to get people to stop suffering with Candida.  We have many customers come in with Candida problems and they just don&#8217;t know where to start!  Diet changes are essential and takingthe CandiGone Cleanse is a beautiful beginning to creating change in your body.  Often times people get an overgrowth of yeast when the diet is not balanced.  When people eat too many simple carbohydrates: sugars, white breads and pastas we feed the yeast and let it proliferate!  Women often know they have Candida issues more easily then men because they will get chronic vaginal yeast infections.  Some women think yeast infections are just another annoying part of being a woman&#8230;this is false, there is a lot a woman can do.</p>
<p><strong>YEAST Overgrowth?  </strong>What is that?  Yeast or also known an Candida can take over your gut.  When this happens both women and men can really suffer.  Some signs of Candida problems would be to ask yourself if you experience:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Yeast Infections, </strong></li>
<li><strong>Sugar Cravings,</strong></li>
<li><strong>Fuzzy feeling, can&#8217;t focus, </strong></li>
<li><strong>Bloating or </strong></li>
<li><strong>Itchy Skin (eczema).</strong></li>
</ul>
<p> If you identify with <strong><em>uncontrollable BLOATING</em></strong> or above symptoms <strong><em>STOP living with poor digestion and try CanadiGONE </em></strong>by Renew Life!  Again <strong><em>Candida</em></strong> simply <strong><em>means an overgrowth of yeast (Candida Albicans)</em></strong> <strong><em>resulting in an unbalanced gut</em></strong>. When Candida becomes <strong><em>systemic (meaning released in the blood stream) </em></strong>we suffer from digestive problems that then spread to other parts of the body: <strong><em>like the skin (eczema), fingernails/toenails (fungal), the head (haziness), weight gain, for women vaginal yeast and mouth!</em></strong> </p>
<p>The other essential way to create a balance in your body is to <strong><em>take PROBIOTICS (Good Bacteria).</em></strong>  Yogurt will not cut it; there is just not enough of the good bacteria to correct an issue such as yeast overgrowth.  A good one to take would be the Ultimate Flora Probiotic by Renew Life.</p>
<p><span>As always thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you further with lifestyle changes, health challenges or just to talk about health!  Find us at a location near you, or you can call us toll free 1866 499 9546.  We are there to do mail orders, or just answer questions.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Vega_Family_web.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-722" title="Vega_Family_web" src="http://www.alivehealthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Vega_Family_web-250x116.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="116" /></a>I get lots of emails on how to lose weight!  So below is a sample of different tips as well as specific products that I love to recommend for long lasting weight loss.  This is not a crash and burn diet approach, but rather a healthy as well as sustainable way to lose weight for good!!  Remember only you can make the choice to lose weight and it takes determination and the will to do it!  Hope you enjoy&#8230;</p>
<p>First of all, just know that it is always extremely difficult to lose the stubborn last couple of pounds.  The results usually come faster (at least in the beginning) for someone who needs to lose a substaintial amount of weight, such as 50 pounds.  Why?  Any slight healthy lifestyle change can make a huge difference compared to someone trying to lose 5 pounds.  For example, even if they just change one of two things they can lose weight FAST (i.e. cutting out coke, and say chips could make a huge difference).<br />
The key to weight loss for anyone is to remember that <strong>every single body is different,</strong> and you have to figure out <strong>what your weaknesses are, what you can handle, what you can maintain for life and to not beat yourself up.  Determination, positivity and sticking with something are key</strong>.</p>
<p>When people come into Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus for weight loss, it is never a simple answer.  I always ask people the following things:</p>
<p><span style="color: #00b050;"><strong>1. Write down your typical day(keep a journal).  For example, what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Write down your current activity level.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00b050;"><strong>2. What are your favourite foods, or type of foods?  What are your weaknesses? Foods that you know are not the best for you but you just can&#8217;t help it.  For some people it is sweets ALL the way, others it is carbohydrates (bread lovers).  Usually for North Americans, it is consuming too many empty calories like a can of coke or a 1000 calorie fast food meal too often.  </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00b050;"><strong>3. From your journal entries, you can kind of narrow down what supplements would be best for you.  People that crave sweets, or an excess in carbs may need something to balance their blood sugar like cinamin extract, or PGX for example.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #17365d;">Below are my favourite products that greatly help with weight loss and healthy living in general:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #17365d;">1. <strong>A cleanse.  Brand: Renew Life First Cleanse 15 days</strong>.  If you think your digestion sucks a cleanse may be in order.  Poor digestion includes: gas, bloating, and you need to have at least one good bowel movement every day!  It&#8217;s even recommended that you have two a day!  The average person only goes every couple of days in North America, this is crazy!  We have a lot of cranky people in this world because they are not eliminating regularily and their body is becoming more and more toxic.  Your regularity/digestion is related to maintaining a healthy weight and the First Cleanse will get the ball rolling.  In addition to the cleanse <strong>Renew Life&#8217;s Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes </strong>are extremely recommended and beneficial to a healthy gut<strong>.  </strong>The cleanse is good for your: liver, kidneys, lungs, lypmphatic system, colon, small intestine, large intestine, cardiovascular system and blood.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #17365d;">2. <strong>Protein Shakes!!! </strong>This is my favourite thing to recommend to you! A good quality protein shake fills you with nutrients, good calories, and it is something easy and tastey!  Make a shake most mornings and if you are hungry in the afternoon, have one at work.  Protein holds you, it protects your lean muscle mass, lean muscle burns existing fat, muscle is your furnace!  Put berries in it; believe it or not they are typically lower in the glycemic index therefore not making your blood sugar spike.  Also they are the richest in Anti-oxidants.  You can experiment and put so many different things in your protein shakes like coconut milk, almond milk, regular milk, walnuts, etc!  There are sooo many recipes you can find.  Also, get a blender!! A good one.  They can be quite pricey but its worth it!  <strong>Protein Brands: Renew Life Fit Smart, PVL Iso Gold, Progressive Harmony Protein, one of the most complete and healthy is&#8230; Vega Whole Meal Replacement by Sequel Naturals!!!! </strong>Amazingly healthy!  SOOO complete.  If you do try it get Vanilla Chai Flavour, mix with Almond milk unsweetened, banana, flax oil, walnuts, some yogurt if you want it thick.  <strong>Oh very important, 1 gram of protein, per 1 pound of body weight each day.</strong>  <strong>When you buy your protein powder you are looking for Whey Isolate (usually for weight loss).</strong>  It is the purest form of protein protecting lean muscle mass.  Great for women, losing weight, and for elderly! Whey concentrate is typically more for body builders or people who use up tones of calories and need the energy for sport.  Whey Concentrate is roughly about 1000 calories per serving whereas Whey Isolate is about 100 to 150 calories per serving depending on the brand.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #17365d;">3. <strong>GREEN TEA! </strong>You know this one already, but this will stimulate your metabolism safely and it provides you with antioxidants.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #17365d;">4.  Always remember that while supplements help, its not really supplements that are going to be the make it or break it, <strong>it is consistancy in your &#8220;diet for life&#8221; and your activity level</strong>.  Find an activity that you like.  Or if it is variety you like then go for it.  For me I like to use my recumbant bike at home for convenience.  I love prenatal yoga right now, and before I used to love playing badminton, but I can&#8217;t run around at the moment due to the pregnancy.  I also love swimming, but everyone is different.  It really doesn&#8217;t matter what you do, but you have to have the desire to go do it so that you will go consistantly!  One of my relatives needs to pay for something because they hate wasting money.  Once they pay they are commited.  </span><br />
<span style="color: #17365d;">5.  <strong>Up your intake of fibre!!! FIBRE, FIBRE, FIBRE!!!</strong>  <strong>35 grams per day! </strong>You hear it a lot, but you need to eat lots of veges.  Learn how you like them.  Use coconut oil to cook.  Its opposite of what you may think, but cocanut oil is soooo good for your heart, your skin and your hair.  It is safe to cook with, so high heat is great!! Also, you can steam your veges too!  Brocoli, Chinese veges, watercress, and also make soups for dinner with lots of veges.  Just boil water, put a healthy noodle in there, add an egg till it is a honey consistancy, put a chicken thigh in there for flavour and then you can put your veges in there at the last so they are not over cooked.  Red peppers are delicious in there.  All you need is a little salt and pepper.  <strong>Note: stay away from processed packaged foods and sauces.</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #244061;">6. <strong>Eat 4 to 5 times a day of healthy calories, nutritous calories</strong>.  Smaller but more frequent meals is key.  If you do these things you will feel fantastic!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #244061;">7. Health wise, get <strong>Greens in your diet, by Genuine Health</strong>, and <strong>take fish oil every day.</strong>  You will look younger for longer.  Its really great for your skin, inflammation, joints, colon health and your hair.  Also, if you can get a multi in you every day that would be fantastic!! <strong>Platinum liquid softgels are the BEST!  </strong></span><br />

<p>Progressive HCP Symbiotic Kit (Pre&amp; Probiotic) has been referred to as the <strong>Rolls Royce of Probiotics!  </strong>When you have tried just about everything and you are in desperate need of <strong>controlling your IBS, eczema and other health problems,</strong> it may be time to try <strong>Progressive&#8217;s HCP Symbiotic Kit with 70 billion good bacteria</strong> ready to protect your kingdom.  This wonderful probiotic is here to<strong> protect your gut and to host of over 400 Bodily Functions!</strong></p>
<p></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><em><strong>HCP®70 (Human Colonizing Probiotic, 70 Billion Cells)</strong></em> is a full spectrum <em><strong>dairy free </strong></em>probiotic supplement <strong><em>featuring <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6 human strains</span></em></strong> that <strong><em>implant healthy flora throughout </em></strong>the <strong><em>digestive tract.</em></strong> <strong><em>Prebiotics</em></strong> are <strong><em>FOOD for the good bacteria which allow colonization</em></strong>.  This kit addresses: <strong><em>eczema, vitamin production, immune function, weight management,</em></strong> <strong><em>bloating, IBS, poor complexion, flatulence, food allergies, oral and vaginal health</em></strong>. </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Why is HCP different from other probiotics?</strong> </p>
<p>It is<strong> <em>100% human strains</em> </strong>and according to research<strong> <em>only human strains will colonize within the GI tract where plant source strains have failed.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>How to use the Kit for BEST Results?</strong></p>
<p>In order to prepare the intestinal terrain and establish proper probiotic implantation, the HCP®Synbiotic Kit is designed to be taken for an <strong><em>initial 3 month period. Once a proper intestinal environment has been established HCP®70 can then be taken on its own for ongoing probiotic maintenance</em></strong>. Contains a <strong><em>30 day supply (60 caps)</em></strong> of both HCP®Supportand HCP®70.</p>
<p><strong>Many of us are well informed about PRO-Biotics, so why Are PRE-Biotics sooo important?</strong> </p>
<p>In order to maximize the impact of a probiotic supplement, <strong><em>you need to begin by preparing the intestinal terrain for proper implantation</em></strong>, colonization and proliferation. HCP®Support contains a family of prebiotics, <strong><em>vegetable concentrates</em></strong> and <strong><em>berry extracts</em></strong> that support probiotic viability while reducing the existing unfriendly bacteria. One of the most helpful analogies is to think of the <strong><em>probiotics as seeds</em></strong> that are ready to be <strong><em>planted, all they need is a proper</em></strong> terrain that is prepared for healthhy growth.  Probiotics (seeds) need water and fertilizers (prebiotics) before hand to ensure that those seeds have a place to grow.</p>
<p><strong>Features of Progressives Prebiotics:</strong></p>
<p>• Multiple Oligosaccharides nourish the intestinal flora<br />
• Cranberry, Elderberry Extracts &amp; Red Wine reduce the adhesion of unfriendly bacteria<br />
• Jerusalem Artichoke protects against yeast<br />
• Colostrum &amp; Lactoferrin inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria<br />
• Full colonizing supportHCP</p>
