Lose Your Belly FAT Today On Dr. OZ Discusses Relora

Categories: Alive Brand, Belly Fat, Energy, Hormone Balancing, Quick Tips, Stress, Weight Loss

Today, Dr. OZ is talking about the best belly blasting supplements.  One of the ones discussed is RELORA.  At Alive Health Centre, Supplements Plus and Morning Sun we have had RELORA for years.  It is loved by many due there being no side effects!  Dr. Oz has been helping the health industry by creating awareness around safe natural alternatives.  This is what he has to say:

“If you feel like your belly is bringing you down, don’t just stand idly by and watch it grow. There are plenty of effective and affordable supplements and foods you can try to help you lose that extra bulge.

 Supplement to Reduce Stress: Relora

When you’re under stress, your body releases the hormone cortisol, which makes your body store fat around your midsection. If you tend to gain weight when you’re stressed out, this supplement can help you tackle stubborn belly fat. Relora is supplement made from the extracts of two plants used for thousands of years by Chinese herbalists to promote relaxation. Clinical studies have shown that Relora can help mitigate feelings of anxiety. Decreased levels of cortisol can lead to the prevention of weight gain, the loss of excess weight, and the reduction of stress eating.

 Dose: Take 250mg of Relora three times a day – or one dose with every meal. Studies have demonstrated this to be the most effective use of this supplement so you receive the maximum benefit.”

How does Relora work?

Belly fat is a protection mechanism.  When we are in danger or stressed, the hormone cortisol increases and when there is an abundance of cortisol due to too much stress, belly fat deposits itself around the mid-section.  Normal amounts of cortisol are a good thing.  All hormones play a role and cortisol is there to decrease inflammation in the body and help protect the immune system.  The problem lies when we are over worked and over stressed.  Too much stress causes a large increase in cortisol and also will decrease the hormone DHEA.  This hormone, when severely lowered can lead to the depression of the immune system, an increase in insulin levels, bone loss, and depression. Relora naturally brings the body back into balance using two ingredients used in traditional Chinese medicine: Phellodendron Amurense and Magnolia Officinalus.

Ultimately Relora helps you with stress related eating a drinking.  Often times when we are stressed we eat more comfort foods that are high in calories as well as fat and sugar!  We know it is bad, but it seems to help at the time.  Chronic stress can cause sugar cravings, which leads to insulin problems and then possibly diabetes.  It is important to take hold of the situation before it gets out of hand.  If you put your mind to it, get the support you need, have a healthy diet, do regular exercise and deal with your stress with the help of Relora weight loss is attainable.  Results vary, but when you are doing all the right things, on average people see results in four weeks.  The key is to not give up, if you make a mistake keep on going.  Do not loose site of your goal.

For more information you can check out the preveious post on RELORA.

As always we look forward to helping you further.  Come and see us at a location near you at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.  See you soon!

Alive Health Centre Flyer – Anti-Ageing

Categories: Alive Brand, Anti-Ageing, Antioxidants, Energy, Enzymes, FLYER SALE!, Hot products, Immune System, Mental Well Being, Savings At Alive!, Wrinkles

ASK ALICE, is the column that always is featured on the front page of the flyer.  This flyer is all about Anti-Ageing and here is what Alice Chung the owner of Alive Health Centre and Chains has to say!

Alice Chung Owner of Alive Health Centre + Chains

Alice Chung Owner of Alive Health Centre + Chains

Anti-Ageing – What does this mean to YOU?

 

Someone once told me bluntly: “The bad news is, we are all going to die one day, but the good news is we have a choice of how to live the years we spend on this earth.” So the next time someone splashes the words Anti – Ageing in front of you, think about what it means to you? For some it is: to regain well-being and vitality, to optimize the body’s ability to defend against pathogens and to help protect against the ageing process. A common argument is that we are all going to age and that it is inevitable; an attitude conveying “why bother”. It is true, we are all going to get old, BUT it is the quality of life that we are striving for. You can live 90 years, but of those 90 years don’t you want to be functional, walking around, telling stories and laughing? That is why my team at Alive Health Centres + chains and I are whole heartedly committed to changing the world through healthy living. We strive to prevent signs of accelerated ageing such as premature memory loss, pains, frequent infections, persistent fatigue, digestion problems and age related illnesses.  How can this be achieved?  It takes more than just exercise and healthy eating, it takes vitamins and one of my favourite essential supplements is Royal Jelly because it is truly one of the most all encompassing nutrients out there. While it appears costly, the abundance of health benefits makes the Alive Brand Royal Jelly PRICELESS! I often kid that Royal Jelly is part of my health insurance.  In all seriousness, it is working for me every day by protecting my body’s cells from free radicals, allowing the brain to focus, keeping healthy skin, hair and nails, protecting my immune system, providing me with antibacterial properties and countless other functions. Now when you hear the words Anti-Ageing remember it is more than banishing that stubborn wrinkle, but rather preventing more serious health issues that can get in the way of living. Remember, LIFE is the most important thing and together we can make the most of it…

Preferred Nutrition: MenoSense, Bio Sil and EstroSense!

Categories: Energy, Hair Loss, Hormone Balancing, Hot products, Menopause, Mood, Nails Brittle, Womans Health

There is a lot of buzz about taking collagen these days.  While this will be of great benefit to those who want to improve their hair, skin, nails and joints there is another way with a product called BioSil by Preferred Nutrition!

It’s important to note that BioSil™ is not made out of collagen, it generates collagen. There’s a big difference. When you ingest collagen, the human body breaks it down and uses it as food. By contrast, BioSil’s™ patented ch-OSA complex helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for stronger, healthy and thicker hair; stronger nails; fewer fine lines and wrinkles; denser and more flexible bones.

What is it and what is the dosage?

Silicon (as Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid) (ch-OSA). 6 mg

One capsule is equivalent to 6 drops of BioSil™ liquid.

Choline chloride, vegetarian capsule (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose,

water) with microcrystalline cellulose, water.

SUGGESTED USAGE

2 capsules daily or as directed by a health care practitioner

Renew Life DietSTART – Accelerate Your Weight Loss Without the Jitters!

Categories: Belly Fat, Cleansing, Colon Health, Detox, Digestive Health, Energy, Weight Loss

Want to lose weight faster without side effects, all while still being able to eat? Its possible with the help of DietSTART! DietSTART is a 14 day, 2 part kit that contains some of the most exciting weight loss ingredients on the market today, Svetol and FraxiPure. These highly researched key ingredients work to release stored fat from the body’s fat cells for energy, balance blood sugar, increase lean muscle mass and enhance bowel elimination without purgatives!HOWit works? The ingredients inhibit both the absorption of excess sugar 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 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 without the use of laxatives. Now you can OUTSMART your body with DietSTART!

Study:

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.

Directions for Use

Sequel Brand ChlorEssence: Chlorella The Fountain of Energy and Vitality!

Categories: Antioxidants, Cleansing, Detox, Energy, Enzymes, Immune System, Weight Loss

As I always explain to my friends, family and customers, the magic all in one pill does not exist, however Chlorella by Sequel Naturals will definitely leave you feeling fantastic, nourished and detoxed… therefore coming very close to the perfect magic pill!  The most common and consistent comment from our customers is… “I have energy again and I feel vibrant!  I have my life back and I feel like I did when I was 20.”

What is Chlorella?

Sequel Naturals uses a single cell green algae packed with nutrition: complete protein, fibre, anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and its own unique form of Chlorella growth factor (CGF). The CGF is what makes Chlorella so amazing!   CGF is the most potent natural source of nucleic acids, containing 17 times more DNA and RNA than sardines! Remember that DNA and RNA are absolutely essential for healthy cellular growth and repair.  While we live in a wonderful modern society, it also comes with chemicals among other things that make our bodies break down faster.  Our bodies are made of trillions of cells, therefore if we protect our cells the best we can, it only mkaes sense that we will have a better quality of life.

CGF Benefits:

  • Strengthens cells
  • Anti-aging (better quality of life)
  • Protects the immune system: increases T-Cells and great for people after they have received kemo treatment
  • Mild detox, cleansing out heavy metals

Other Chlorella Benefits:

  • Taking 4 – 10 grams before consuming alcohol has been helpful in preventing hang overs
  • Balances your blood sugar because of the high fibre, thus excellent for diabetics or those who are borderline diabetic/hyperglycemic
  • Excellent for maintaining a healthy weight or even promoting weight loss because it supports the healthy function of the thyroid

Interesting Points on Chlorella:

  • Chlorella is appropriate for the whole family including children, seniors and pets
  • Due to Chlorella’s incredible ability to maintain cellular health, prevent disease and enhance cellular rejuvenation, Chlorella is one of the most researched foods on earth!
  • There are no adverse effects when using Chlorella, just make sure you start out slowly meaning 1 to 2 tablets a day and then lowly increase your intake.  The reason is that Chlorella is a mild detox and you don’t want to shock your system by releasing too many toxins from your body all at once.  You want to slowly release them and then the body can excrete them little by little
  • Chlorella contains all the essential components in order for us to live and there are studies showing that we could survive on Chlorella alone for an extended period of time!

Dosaging:

Start with 1 to 2 tablets a day and slowly increase to 2 to 4 tablets per day.  Athletes, people with high stress, or those who have very active jobs/lifestyles often work up to 10 or more tablets a day.  Most things are best in moderation, but Chlorella is one of those where more is better when you slowly build up to it.  People who are in dire need of energy and want to get off the roller coaster ride of coffee and sugar highs are absolutely astonished by what Chlorella has done for them.

Sizes ChlorEssence comes in:

ChlorEssence is 100% pure premium Chlorella, containing no fillers or excipients, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, sugar, salt or preservatives.

ChlorEssence is available in the following formats:

  • ChlorEssence – 150 Tablets, 500mg each

Rhodiola’s benefits:  improve work performance, alleviate sleep difficulties, stimulates poor appetite, helps overcome irritability, regulates high blood pressure, relieves headache and reduces anxiety in the face of severe physical and mental strain.  Rhodiola, it is meant to be taken in mild cases for every day stresses as well.  For example, a study that used cadets (separated in two groups) found the group who took rhodiola performed significantly better despite severe fatigue than did the placebo group. 

Product Information: Sisu Rhodiola

  • High-potency rhodiola extract, grown in Siberia and standardized to contain 3% rosavins and 1% salidrosides (the active compounds)
  • Rhodiola is an adaptogen, meaning it normalizes production of certain hormones within the nervous system to invigorate a sluggish system or calm an agitated one

  • Rhodiola has also shown positive results in cases of mild to moderate depression
