What Happened At Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s Sytrinol Seminar

Lorna Vanderhaeghe - Master of Health Studies and a degree in Biochemistry

As always Lorna Vanderhaeghe never disappoints! A few weeks ago, she conducted a free seminar on her new product called Sytrinol that is proven to lower your lousy cholesterol (LDL) and keep your healthy cholesterol (HDL) at the optimal level.  Lousy and healthy are just key words to help you remember which is your good and bad cholesterol.  The proper name for LDL is (low density lipoproteins) and for HDL (high density lipoproteins).

What is all the fuss about cholesterol?

Cholesterol is not that hard to understand, and it is one of those things that is easier to control than most people think.  All you need is a simple blood test and your doctor can tell you where you are.  Cholesterol is definately needed and it is not all bad otherwise we would not have it in the first place.  However, it is our lifestyles that get our Cholesterol out of balance, which ultimately puts us at risk for heart disease.  According to Lorna, Over 40% of North Americans have high cholesterol, but the good news is that nine out of 10 people can lower their LDL and improve their HDL with dietary changes and nutritional supplements alone!

More Reasons To Try Sytrinol, The Natural Approach Before Statin Drugs

Sometimes we are too quick to succomb to Statin Drugs.  While their are times that they are necassary, their are times when we should look at a natural approach that does not have any side effects like Sytrinol.  Here are the side effects of Cholesterol lowering Statin Drugs:

  1. An increase in breast cancer.
  2. An increse in Estrodile (bad estrogen, too much can lead to cnacers).
  3. A decrease in CO-Q-10, which is a phenominal antioxident that your liver produces naturally. Statin drugs stop the liver from producing this antioxident.  CO-Q-10 keep your arteries healthy, and prevents hardening of the arteries.

What is a normal reading for cholesterol?

According to Lorna, your total cholesterol should be less than 5.2 mmol/L, your HDL should be greater than 1.3 mmol/L for women and greater than 1.0 mmol/L for men.  Lastly, your LDL should be less than 2.6 mmmol/L.

What is the Next Step

If you know that you have high cholesterol, it is not too late to do something about it.  Lorna Vanderhaeghe has been in the industry for over 25 years.  She has a Master in Health Studies and a degree in Biochemistry.  Lorna is the author of nine books.  Her newest one is entitled: Your 30 Day Heart Smart Solution.  You can visit her on her interactive website http://healthyimmunity.com/ If you want to make a change regarding your high cholesteral, high blood pressure and your heart health in general, here is Lorna’s advice along with Alive Health Centre Supplements Plus and Morning Sun:

  1. Fish Oil or Lorna’s Vegetarian Essential Fatty Acids (DHA & EPA)
  2. Sytrinol
  3. Magnesium Glycinate
  4. Pomergranate Extract
  5. CO-Q-10
  6. Pycnoginal 200mg
  7. Non Flushin Niacin
  8. Vit C
  9. Green Tea
  10. Curcummin
  11. Vitamin E

Remember, if you are already on Statin Drugs, then you should NOT stop your medications on your own.  You should also consult your doctor before taking anything else especially of you are on blood pressure medications.  If you want to make a change you should:

  1. Stay on your medications until you talk to your doctor.
  2. Talk to your doctor about a different approach, or find one that will help you with a natural approach.  They will monitor you.
  3. It is possible to take Sytrinol with Statin Drugs, but you must be under the suprovision of your Doctor.
  4. Eventually you can go off the Statin Drugs.
  5. Then get tested in one month to make sure everything is heading in the right direction.

As always, we hope that you will come and visit us at either Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.  Do not sit in silence; there are so many things you can to better your health!  Get excited and take charge of your health.  Let’s work together, along with your doctor to ensure you are doing all you can to lead a happy and healthy life.  Look forward to seeing you!

* Readers please note that Lorna Vanderhaeghe now has her own product line the “Smart Series”. For example EstroSmart, VeinSmart etc.  She is no longer with the company Preferred Nutrition.  At the time when this article was written she represented Sytrinol.  She no longer does; again she has her own lone now.  Sorry for the confusion or any inconvenience.

Resveratrol Antioxidant!

"Two capsules os Resveratrol is equivalent to 42 bottles of red wines antioxidants!"

"Two capsules os Resveratrol is equivalent to 42 bottles of red wines antioxidants!"

Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine.  There are many antioxidants out there, but they all specialize in different things.  It is most recommended to take a few of them and not limit yourself.  For example, if you are already using Grape Seed extract you can take Resveratrol too!  Think of a school and all of its parts.  There are many people that make things happen.  There is the guidance counsellor, the principal and teachers.  Imagine if we thought, I already have a Mathematics teacher so I do not need an English teacher.   While they are both teachers they do completely different things; this is the same thinking when it comes to antioxidants. 

What does Resveratrol do?

Life Extension: Resveratrol is about life extension while still maintaining the quality of life.  No one wants to live until 100 if it means they are still falling apart.  Therefore, the benefit of Resveratrol is to improve the quality of life as well as the longevity.  Dr. Sinclair from Harvard found that Resveratrol tops the list to slow down the aging process.  He found that mice fed with Resveratrol along with a healthy fat diet (coconut oil) far better than the control group which had the same diet, but minus the Resveratrol.  The experimental group were: skinnier, younger looking, had healthier skin, and they could run twice as fast. 

Neuodegenerative Disease: In 2008 researchers at Weill Medical College of Cornell University reported that dietary supplementation with Resveratrol reduced plaque formation in animal brains.  Plaque formation leads to Alzeimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. 

Where to get Resveratrol?

There are many to choose from on the market and it is hard to know which one to pick.  If you are having trouble deciding, you can rely on the Alive Resveratrol; it is of excellent quality.  The Alive Brand is extracted from the polyphenols of 100% red grapes from France. 

As always you can come to Alive Health Centre or if you are in Alberta there is Morning Sun, and if you are in Toronto you can find Supplements Plus!  Hope to see you soon!

Pure Acai Berry 500mg Extract 10:1

Categories: Alive Brand, Antioxidants, Hot products, Supplements, Weight Loss

Acai (pronounced Ah-Sigh-EE) is a powerful antioxidant and is has been named the #1 Super Food by Dr. Perricone.  These little berries come from the Amazon palm tree in Brazil.  Hidden within its royal purple pigment are: antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids.  Acai berry has 33 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10-30 times the anthocyanins of red wine!

Acai provides the energy to be healthy!

Acai provides the energy to be healthy!

What is Acai berry used for?

Weight loss: Acai helps you to lose weight by reducing your hunger and by increasing your energy levels.  When you have more energy, you will be more inclined to become active and you will ultimately lose weight!  Acai berry is a healthy way to lose weight because there are no stimulants.  Acai berry helps you to overcome fatigue, reduce cravings for carbohydrates, and provides you with antioxidants. When you feel tired you will crave simple carbohydrates and other comfort foods.  Therefore, by using Acai you will reduce hunger and stop yourself from consuming the wrong foods.

 

Alive Acai Berry 500mg

Cardiovascular and Digestive Health:Acai has a synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fibre and phytosterols and this is what helps to promote cardiovascular as well as digestive health.  Monounsaturated oleic acid is important because it aids omega – 3 fish oils to penetrate the cell membrane and together they help to make the cell membrane supple.  It is important to keep the cell membrane young with elasticity because all hormones, neurotransmitters, and insulin receptors function more efficiently.  Remember that over time high insulin rates not only cause type II diabetes, it also creates a constant inflammatory state; and inflammation causes premature aging.

Acai berry is an essential amino acid complex with valuable trace minerals and Alive has had Acai for years before all of the hype.  It is important that you find a pure source with no fillers or binders.  One great choice is Alive Brand Acai Berry that is a pure 500mg extract 10:1 whole fruit that has no added sugar.  Some Acai juice on the market is mixed with other juices, and therefore has high sugar content and this will defeat the purpose of trying to lose weight!  As always come on into Alive where we can help you further.  Look forward to seeing you!
