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:

• Stimulates 5 key weight loss functions
• 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.

We can all use that extra push!  The founder and CEO of Weight OFF Ryan Foley is a firm believer that a proper diet and exercise are key in losing weight and this is also Alive Health Centre + chains belief, but supplements definately help get the job done faster.  When you start seeing results you want to continue eating well and exercising.  The key is to use a reputable product such as Weight OFF.

Can’t stomach carrying around that unsightly, health threatening belly fat ?  Experts agree that omentum fat is the most dangerous because it is sneaky as it inserts itself around our vital organs such as the heart.  Belly fat is comprised of visceral or omentum fat.  This fat is different from subcutaneous fat (the fat you can pinch) – it lies underneath and acts as a storage facility for our fat !

Happy New Year!

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

Take 1 capsule of DietSTART I with both your morning meal and evening meals.

Take 1 capsule of DietSTART II in the evening on an empty stomach (3 hours after eating).

Quick Tips on the Benefits of Coconut Oil:

• Coconut oil nourishes your bodies cells from the inside out! Cook with it, or eat a tablespoon a day.
• Coconut oil repairs your skin, helps heal wounds, and prevents scaring.
• Coconut oil also helps boost collagen therefore helping the structure of your skin or the elasticity of your skin.
• Coconut oil works extremely well as a natural make-up remover!  Especially great for the eyes.
• Coconut oil has anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
• 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.
• Lastly, if you love the sun, Coconut oil helps to sooth the skin when you have had too much exposure to the sun.

Coconut Oil Brands:

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.

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
• ChlorEssence – 300 Tablets, 500mg each

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

Benefits:

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

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

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

Nutracleanse: your colon solution!

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

So what can you do about it?

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

Other benefits of Nutracleanse:

Optimum regularity

Laxatives: NOT the long term solution:

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

Some Recipes:

OATMEAL WITH NUTRACLEANSE:

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

NUTRACLEANSE SMOOTHIE: High fiber recipe drink!

Add to blender:

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

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

ON THE ROAD? AWAY FROM HOME? TRY THIS!

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

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 location near you!

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!
