How to choose the best green superfood formula?...

Green superfoods are natural, normally powdered food supplements providing a concentrated source of nutritional elements that deliver a much higher nutrient density than what is contained in commonly consumed daily foods. Green superfoods, in addition to being a superb source of nutrition, are also considered by many experts to be an effective medium to effect improvement in a wide range of health conditions. Green superfood blends are commonly available in health food stores, yet there are great differences in quality and effectiveness.

Most green superfoods contain ingredients that are not traditionally eaten in the west, but which are to a certain extent more common in Asian countries, such as seaweeds. Seaweeds are highly nutritious, especially in minerals and are commonly eaten in most Asian countries. They support proper thyroid function and it can be said that thyroid health is generally much better in such nations. Some of the more common seaweeds used in green superfoods are kelp and dulse as well as fresh water algaes such as spirulina and chlorella.

Cereal grasses such as those from barley and wheat are also commonly found in green superfoods. They are known for their high mineral and vitamin content. Wheatgrass, barley grass and other such ingredients and formulas go a long way to correct nutritional imbalances that many of us suffer from due to the difficulty in obtaining a highly nutritions diet in a culture that is so often on the run. Organic superfood options like these algaes and grasses can also help to provide reliable, consistent energy without resorting to sugary and refined foods that sooner or later cause problems with blood sugar.

A wide range of green superfood products are now available in stores and online. As more people become aware of the need to correct poor eating and exercise habits, there is no doubt that green superfood will become a more common supplement to many people’s daily diets. With a shake or smoothie, green superfoods become an easy way to ensure balanced and health enhancing nutrition.

Now that we know how beneficial green superfoods can be, how can we choose the appropriate one? Several factors need to be considered. Firstly always choose a superfood that has powerful nutrient rich elements that come first on the list of ingredients. These would be the dense superfoods such as the fresh and sea water algaes; spirulina and chlorella, barley and wheat grass. Also be sure that the formula contains high level of B vitamins, so important for your nervous system and many other energy related processes in the body. Ascertain whether your chosen blend contains fillers of any kind. Some ingredients may seem to be good but always remember that the nutrient dense ingredients should always come first in order of quality and price. For example, spirulina is quite expensive. If it comes towards the end of the list and something less expensive such as spinach comes first, you will know that your provider is cutting corners and favoring profit over quality. Also make sure that the blend is organically grown. Why pay for a great mix of ingredients if you then have to be concerned with pesticide residues.

All this being said my recommendation for the best available blend on the market today would be Enerfood Organic Green SuperFood. It is an energy drink that is packed with vitamins, protein and minerals. This yields improved mental clarity and great nutrition without bulking or filler ingredients and without sugars or sweeteners. It is also highly bioavailable  as well as being vegetarian and vegan. It is naturally low in fat while being high in protein, vitamins, minerals and many of the micro-nutrients that are difficult to find in our normal daily diets.

This unique formula also helps cleanse your body. Enerfood green super food powder attracts toxins and eliminates them safely and naturally.

Enerfood Super Green Energy Drink provides dense and highly concentrated absorbable nutrition in a powdered form. That means when you mix it with fluids, the vitamin and mineral-rich molecules can be easily processed by your body’s digestive system. This way your stomach and intestines can absorb the nutrients and minerals and put them to work right away.

The Truth about Steroids and how they effect your ...

The Incredible Spongebob-Hulk?The fact is that many steroids are also known to create disharmony within the body, through the bringing of some very adverse effects such as vomiting, nausea, headaches, tummy aches, diarrhea and insomnia. The user should expect such a feeling that speaks of general indisposition mostly while they are within such intake of an element such as Anadrol, an element that is largely comparable to the substance Dianabol which gives a very acute sense of well being.

Steroids are not what you might think they are

Cytomel is on the category of fat burners in the body building field. It is meant to increase the metabolism rate of an individual after intake when exercising, therefore working out every body part and burning huge masses of fat in a very short time. It acts as a stimulator of the normal body metabolism. Many of the bodybuilders who are experiencing severe acne caused by the steroid Anadrol then continue on thier drug binge using oxymetholone as a control measure through the use of Accutane, which comes as a prescription drug. This vicious cycle has severe long term health consequences.

There are beneficial uses – sometimes

Induction of male puberty is a part of medical function of steroids. Androgens are normally given to boys with distressed body conditions and those who have delays of puberty. Testosterone is the only androgen that is used to help in increasing weight, height, and fat-free mass. In specific, doctors only prescribe it when needed especially the cases of stunned growth. The down side is that Aggression and hypomania are two conditions that are very prominent to steroid users. (… so giving this to a teenager seems like a good idea?)

Roid rage – yes it’s real

From the late 1980s, the press has reported “roid rage” as one of the major side effects of anabolic steroids. A 2005 evaluation determined that, some controlled studies found out that anabolic steroid use associates with hypomania and the aggressiveness persistent in different individuals, but it went ahead to point out that several attempts to resolve whether the steroids use causes violent behavior, has failed to a great extent, all because of the increased rate of non-participation.

On the Drugs AgainThe way towards the usage or abuse of steroids is mired by the case of failure, success or both. It is common knowledge that steroids are not what you might think they are, since many people lack in the right information which makes the necessary difference about anabolic androgenic steroids. Steroids are used for myriad reasons and by many people from the two genders. They are a means through which humans attain a muscle increment goal. The best way to get the results that you have been looking for is to work with a good trainer and choose healthy nutritional supplements.

Steroids can land you in JAIL

In Canada, the AAS and any of their derivatives are controlled as part of banned drugs and compounds act, they are Schedule IV substances, and this means that the legality is compromised. The steroid sale without a definite prescription is punishable, however, possession is not restricted, a result reserved for schedule I, II or III compounds. Those culpable of selling and buying the AAS in Canada can be locked in prison for 18 months.

Well that right there talked me out of it!

Lasting weight loss or Fast Weight Loss?...

There are many reasons why you may wish to lose body fat. Among the top are to simply look better and improve your overall health. Losing weight should always be regarded as a long term proposition. Quick weight loss plans can help you lose weight but will not give you the longer term results you crave and deserve.

two-girls-exercising-cayucos-beach1I want “instant” not “fast”!- yeah right!

Fat will be lost in any diet where the calorific intake is lower than expenditure. However these “crash” diets and low-energy diets will result in a muscle loss in addition to the fat burned. It is estimated that the maximum fat a typical human body can burn in any one week is 2 pounds. This means that any weight loss over and above 2 lbs in a week will be mainly muscle or water.

Crash dieting slows down your metabolism .

If you don’t eat enough food your ancient survival instincts take over and the body enters “starvation mode”. In this mode the metabolic rate slows to conserve energy and thus the speed at which weight is lost is reduced. Thus ultimately less fat is burned using “crash” methods.

In addition the body has lost muscle during this crash phase. Muscle burns calories and the more muscle, the more calories and burned. Crash dieting therefore delivers the double whammy of a drop in metabolic weight and a drop in calorie burning muscle tissue.

New Year´s resolution.......This is the reason why so many dieters who rely upon fad diets regain weight quickly after losing it. The only safe reliable and long term way to reduce weight is to do it over a period of time. Change your thinking, eating and habits for best results. Don’t skimp on nutrition either! Lose pounds not nutrients. Many people have experienced lasting success with meal replacement drinks.

Make sure your choose a healthy all natural meal replacement plan with organic ingredients  (like Amino acid meal replacement by EnerHealthBOtanicals)

A gradual reduction in calories maintains muscle tissue, burns only fat and allows you to maintain healthy weight loss in the future.

So , If you really want to make a difference in your life, lose weight and feel great then change your actions: start eating healthy today, take a walk and breath deep. You can do it !!

Coffee trends lean towards ganoderma infused java...

Coffee Drinking Trends Report

by Scott OBrien

Major Increase in Consumption among Young (News release: July 19th, 2007)
( this might be a few years old but the trend is still growing as of 2009!)

Coffee is now bigger than soft drinks!

Market penetration of coffee among American adults has surpassed that of soft drinks, reversing a 2-decade pattern. Specifically, the National Coffee Association’s just-published 2007 National Coffee Drinking Trends (NCDT) report reveals that 57% of American adults drink coffee daily, while 51% consume soft drinks daily. And 81% of American adults drink coffee, with 67% doing so at least once a week.

Make sure you are drinking the best coffee available – Only shade grown Organic fair trade coffee beans infused with Ganoderma and Cordyceps for daily immune support and enhanced physical performance. Nutricafe makes it easy and delicious to stay healthy!

Daily grind expanding

Daily coffee consumption among 18-24-year olds climbed to 37% — a jump of 6 percentage points over 2006, in a fourth consecutive annual increase, for an overall gain of 21 percentage points since 2003 when market penetration for this age group was only 16%. This segment also now drink 3.1 cups per day, up from 2.5 cups in 2005.

“Coffee is the new ‘black’ among beverages,” said Robert F. Nelson, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, in a prepared statement. “Coffee is a trend-setting menu option for a new generation of consumers amid an exploding U.S. café culture.” This age group also exhibits the largest increase in daily and weekly gourmet coffee beverage consumption.

Reishi infused Coffee trend growing – and for good reason!

Research has demonstrated that Ganoderma Lucidum has several different active constituents. One group of active constituents is the polysaccharides. The various types of polysaccharides found in Ganoderma Lucidum have demonstrated immune-enhancing properties. This includes enhancement of several important interleukins. Another major class of compounds is the triterpenes. These compounds have been reported to have adaptogenic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-allergy effects.

Cardiovascular Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shown in some studies to inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood pressure. In studies of people with hypertension, researchers found blood pressure was significantly reduced over two-weeks’ time with reishi supplementation.

Immune Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly prescribed by practitioners for long-term immune system support. In studies involving patients with advanced tumors, the patients were given Ganoderma Lucidum for thirty days. Researchers found a marked immune-modulating effect as demonstrated by an increase in T lymphocytes and decreased CD8 counts. Patients also reported reduced side effects due to chemotherapy or radiation as well as postoperation recovery.

Blood Sugar Balance
Studies have shown Ganoderma Lucidum to have a blood sugar lowering effect. Much of this activity appears to be due to polysaccharides known as Ganoderans A, B, and C.

It appears there are three main mechanisms behind this hypoglycemic effect. This includes Ganoderma Lucidum’s ability to elevate plasma insulin levels, to enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose, and to enhance liver metabolism of glucose.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Studies have shown that hot-water extracts of Ganoderma Lucidum have anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that 50 milligrams of reishi powder had comparable effects to 5 milligrams of hydrocortisone.

Liver Protector
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly used for its hepatoprotective (liver protective) action. One study of patients with hepatitis B and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT) and bilirubin were given reishi for three months. Significant reduction in SGOT and SGPT were noticed within one month. After three months all values were within normal range.

Oxygenation
One of the unique uses of Ganoderma Lucidum is for altitude sickness. Reishi appears to reduce altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood. This benefit was studied in Asian mountain climbers that ascended mountains as high as 17,000 feet with minimal reaction.

Natural Healing Options that Eliminate Constipatio...

………….

Is last year’s Big Mac literally still adding to your weight?


Having fire in your gut is okay unless it is actually residing in your colon!

If you have chronic constipation you can bet, there are a series of problems that are contributing. Poor diet together with chronic dehydration is often the top two culprits. Then add in low fiber and little exercise and you have a good recipe for disaster. Those of you who have had irritable bowel syndrome, constipations, gas, bloating or pain during bowel movements know just how debilitating this issue can be.
Everybody has constipation once in awhile

Nearly everyone at some time in his or her life will be constipated. Nevertheless the wide spread incidences of chronic bowel trouble that people are dealing with says that colon cleansing and overall colon health is an idea that some need to embrace and do something about. The most important thing to remember is to drink plenty of water so that movements are smooth and easy. I am a holistic practitioner who has seen problems with people and stomach pain for 20 years! Colon cleansing can improve your colon health and eliminate constipation for good.

What is regular, you may be surprised

Ask nearly anyone and they will tell you that a movement once a day is normal. In fact, nearly everyone who has come to me with chronic constipation asserts that they are regular as defined above. Some people even insist they are regular if they are only having a movement once every two or three days! Let me go on record as saying if you eat three times a day you should be eliminating three times a day as well, anything less means something is clogging up!
A few hard to lose pounds could be in your colon
You have probably heard of the infamous John Wayne autopsy story, apparently on his autopsy report there was listed 20 pounds of undigested fecal matter in his colon. Now if someone that rich and famous, with great medical care could have that so could you! There are even the rare reports of people losing 10-20 pounds after a healthy colon cleansing that was not stimulant based. It is a rare occurrence but it does happen, proving that whatever you take in must come out.

People who do these colonic cleansers  find that they are removing stuff they have had in their colon for years. It may sound fantastic to the everyday person that anyone could have that much matter in their body and not know it but it does happen, and to most people. Eliminate constipation today by trying a safe and healthy colon cleanse at home.

Colon Cleanse, what and where does it cleanse?
An good colon cleanser will clean the whole colon. For the most part this helps the large intestine however, a colon cleanse with at least partially cleanse the small intestine too. The main thing a colon detoxification addresses is the muscles around the colon; many times, they are not functioning properly. The reason they are not functioning well is lack of water. Any muscle will fail without the proper hydration and in the case of colon health, the muscle will stop contracting.

Waste can be building up for years – robbing you of your health, energy and libido
Waste materials are caught inside the intestine and dry out when the colon muscles stop contracting. Not all food is digested and when there is not enough, fluid to move the undigested material it is stuck in the intestines. After awhile it will harden and then prevent proper muscle contractions, so as you can see it really is a combination of things.

The next time you observe a person with a potbelly consider this; some of the belly is a product of accumulated fat, however a lot of it could be undigested food products. People who suffer from constant constipations tend to continually gain more and more weight. (30-50% of men who are over age 40 have what they call a beer belly)

Try a safe gentle colon cleanse at home

All of the weight gain is not a result of fat or beer either one. Some of it is the result of large amounts of fecal matter that is stuck in the colon. This means that toxins are resting in your body often taking your health and vitality in the process.

Try a natural cleanse colon program and see how much healthier and energized you will feel. Not to mention the fact that you will have better colon health and can eliminate constipation from your list of ailments.
