So before you challenge yourself with losing weight there are some things you can think about to set yourself up for long term success:

1. Find a balance that works for you.  Meaning a balance of eating healthy in a way that you can sustain for LIFE!  Exercise that you can commit to continuosly.  Something that you enjoy, not something you dread that will not last.
2. No more stress.  Relax, losing weight is easier than you think!  You just need a plan, specific goals, encouragement and a positive outlook!
3. Write down the reasons you want to lose weight and put it somewhere where you can see it everyday as a reminder.
4. Get rid of things that tempt you!

Losing weight is simple but not always easy!  Basically if you burn more calories than you are consuming you will lose weight!  The hard part is doing the right things to get your body into fat burning mode.  There are soooo many supplements to turn to and Weight OFF is a fantastic choice because it is clinally proven and safe product that works.

Features and Benefits:

• Helps you lose 100% more weight than dieting alone (go to weightoff.ca to see study)
• Helps you burn FAT not muscle
• Easy to use just one capsule twice daily
• Safe and effective
• Clinally proven to work

5 Key Weight Loss Functions of Weight OFF:

• Supports healthy thyroid function ensuring weight loss can take place
• Inhibits carbohydrate usage and uptake forcing the body to tap into fat stores for energy
• Increases the feeling of fullness helping you eat less therefore reducing your calorie intake
• Increases the number of calories you burn
• Increases fatty acid oxidation so released fat is eliminated from the body as energy and heat

The HUGE benefit to Weight OFF is it is helping your body burn fat while preserving your lean tissue (muscle mass).  Muscle is your furnace!  It helps you burn fat when you are not moving such as sitting at a desk job.  Also Weight OFF uses the highest quality of natural sourced ingredients.  Also the science backing up the product in based on key research published in peer reviewed human research studies conducted in Italy, France, the US and the Netherlands.

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…

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

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 seeds – the 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

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!

Vitamin D3 is derived from sheepskin oil collected during shearing. AOR’s  Vitamin D3 for Children is rapidly converted in the body to the active hormone  1,25 dihydrocholecalciferol, and helps in the development and maintenance of  bones, the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, and is a factor in the  maintenance of good health. It is also important for mood as well!  Calcium is always talked about, but we often forget to take extra vitamin D3 to make sure that our calcium is actually absorbed into the bone.

QUICK TIP:

I am recently a new mother! First time!  I did not post about being pregnant because I wanted to wait until the baby was born.  She is healthy and happy and so am I.  She was born July 2nd at 1:30am!  I just wanted to share this with you and now you can expect many articles to come regarding tips for your little ones.  So the tip here is AOR Vitamin D3 liquid drops!  Yes even NEWBORNS are recommended to have 400 iu per day of Vitamin D3.  The hospitals now inform you to supplement with Vitamin D3 if you are breast feeding.  If you formula feed most of them already include this.  The best way to get your newborn or child to take Vitamin D3 is through a liquid.  All you have to do is place your drop of Vitamin D3 liquid from AOR onto your breast once a day and voila!  It is sooo easy and the baby cannot taste it.

Dosage:

AOR Vitamin D3 for Kids and even NEWBORNS

1 Drop per day (0.2 ml) is 400 iu

Vitamin D3 from AOR, Source:

Vitamin D3 – lanolin; Medium chain
triglycerides – coconut; α-tocopherol – soy

Vitamin D for Children: Research on Vitamin D3 by AOR:

The most well known role  of vitamin D is its involvement in maintaining healthy bones. In children,  vitamin D is essential for the proper growth and development of bones, and  deficiency can result in rickets. Vitamin D is critical for bone health because  it is required for the efficient utilization of dietary calcium. If vitamin D  levels are too low, the body will begin to break down the bones to access  calcium stores. Research has shown that vitamin D supplementation early in life  leads to higher bone mineral density (BMD) at 7-9 years of age, and that  adolescents with low vitamin D levels have lower BMD.

Vitamin D is also important in the function of muscles. Research has shown that young girls (12-14 years old) with higher vitamin D levels demonstrate greater muscle power than those with lower levels.

Vitamin D supplementation is also important during pregnancy and at very young ages, as inadequate vitamin D levels early in life have been associated with an increased risk of autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, breathing disorders and type 1 diabetes later in life. For example, infants receiving 2000IU of vitamin D in the first year of life were 80% less likely to develop type 1 diabetes. There may also be a link between vitamin D and autism, as autism is much more prevalent in areas of low sunlight. Vitamin D has also been shown to play a role in immunity, and may help to prevent placental infections during pregnancy.

Alive Brand Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer! White Kidney Bean

Are you trying to lose weight, but instead find yourself losing the battle against carbohydrates?  Carbohydrates are loved by many of us especially in North America!  We love pizza’s, breads, pasta’s, potatoes and pretty much anything starchy!  It is almost impossible for someone to cut them out completely because life has to be somewhat enjoyable and let’s face it, a freshly baked Italian loaf of bread with some butter on it is to die for.  There is a healthy way to sneak some of your favourite meals in, such as a beautiful pasta dinner without feeling guilty.  Dr. Oz has been talking about the miracle’s of the White Kidney Bean recently and this is the same thing as Phase 2.  Phase 2 is the trademark name for the White Kidney Bean and essentially it is a starch neutralizer.  Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus have been helping people manage their weight with the safe and effective Phase 2 for years!  We have many testimonials, many success stories and a lot of happy campers because they have been able to find that balance.

Main Points/Benefits of Phase 2:

• Starch makes up most of the diet 25-33% in most cases and taking Phase 2 will neutralize 375-495 calories a day even if you do not make any other changes to your diet or physical activity (however, we always recommend a balance in life, always find something active to do that you will enjoy)
• When you neutralize 375-495 calories a day that is enough to lose a pound every 7 to 9 days!  That is without changing anything!  Imagine if you through in some exercise!
• Phase 2 will not help you against sugars in cakes or cookies (basically sweets).  Phase 2 will only neutralize the starches, this is important to note.  If you also have trouble with sweets and you are on the verge of becoming diabetic or you are diabetic you may want to consider PGX or Go 4 Trim which has the Konjac Root fibre  will help you with those sugar craving.  Dr. Oz also speaks very highly of Glucomannan (Konjac Root).  For more information on Go 4 Trim and PGX come in and see us at a location near you.  I have also written a previous article on Go 4 Trim.
• Phase 2 contains NO stimulants, it is safe, effective and INSTANT!
• Many Asians find Phase 2 helpful!  If you love noodles, dumplings and other starchy Dim Sum foods this is a must for you!

What is Phase 2? And HOW does it Work?

Phase 2 contains (Phaseolamin 2250) this is an exclusive all natural compound extracted from a portion of the white kidney bean.  Through numerous studies, Phase 2 has been found effective in neutralizing carbohydrates safely!  Therefore, Phase 2 prevents starch from being converted into sugar and eventually into fat!  When Phase 2 is consumed before a starchy meal, it later excretes a solid waste of starch (carbohydrates)!  Phase 2 works by binding itself to the enzyme Amylase which is produced by the pancreas and thus does not convert starch into sugar.  Diabetics may also benefit from Phase 2.  This makes sense because diabetics have trouble controlling their sugar and insulin.  When taking Phase 2 starch will not convert into sugar and then a diabetic doesn’t need extra insulin to deal with the starch. 

Why Does Eating STARCH (Carbohydrates) make us gain weight?

After we eat starch an enzyme called Amylase converts starch into simple sugar.  If we have a fast metabolism or we are engaged in enough physical activity/exercise some of these sugars will burn, otherwise it is stored as fat in your body.  Everyone is always worried about consuming too much fat, but many people still are not aware that you must watch your starch intake!  They sneak up on you.  Just remember, if you are sitting all day at work and you consume 2500 hundred calories throughout the day with most of it being carbs, you will be gaining weight if there is no exercise to burn off those calories you are not using.  Phase 2 will neutralize 75% of those,  then you need some to give you energy and lastly with a little bit of exercise you will take care of the rest! 

As always we thank you for reading!  We hope you enjoyed the article.  While supplements are here to help you, remember that making healthy changes to your diet as well as incorporating physical activity into your life are always a good habit to get into.  No matter what, you are what you eat and do.  If you sit around too much your blood vessels and arteries will sit around too getting hard and stiff.  Weight management is tough and Phase 2 is here to help you get some results safely and effectively.  At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus we are dedicated to helping you with your whole health; we strive to create a healthy balanced lifestyle.  We look forward to helping you with what ever your health care needs are at a location near you!
