    First person to release 400 POUNDS using Isagenix needs support 

    As a part of a fabulous team of national cleanse and lifestyle coaches a touching and powerful story has been brought to my attention.  For about 2 years I have followed the story of a young lady who came home from the hospital with d/c orders which read something like this “die with dignity”.  Dana was weighing in close to 800# with multiple medical problems and in the last 2 years has turned her life around.  This link is regarding her current quest and reach for support.  I hope you find this story uplifting and possibly you too can provide her a little support in her quest to travel to San Diego to receive an award.   www.aileenhanson.com

    Undenatured Whey Protein Shakes important part of cleansing and weight loss 

    “Cleansing” is a hot topic now in the U.S.  especially where I live in Colorado.  So in vogue now,  that it can cause one to just do nothing because of the daunting task to find a safe, reliable, and affordable system.

    There are many products and companies touting that they have the magic juice or ingredient to “cleanse” our body. However, data supports the importance of having a full spectrum nutritional intake to support the body in cleansing using both phase one and phase two pathways.

    The body has 2 main pathways of detoxification called phase one and phase two. Thus, it is important to  support our bodies with a mulititude of ingredients so it utilizes both pathways and not over burden any of our bodies natural cleansing abilities.  No single ingredient or process can achieve this goal.

    One very important component of cleansing to look for is the quality of protein one takes.  Because  Amino acids in protein shakes support the phase two process it is vital to purchase a high quality protein shake that is has a complete amino acid profile and is highly bioavailable.

    Independent testing shows that  bioactive ingredients other than whey proteins are important components in a meal replacement shake.  Some are  Cysteine, and amino peptide factors and growth factors.   When whey is heated the bioavailability of the food is compromised. Having a large array of  ingredients in one system is also economical.

    Look for a source of whey that is not the by product of cheese production, as this can harm the whey because of the heating that is needed.

    As quoted from an article written by Robert Harrison:

    “When the milk goes through a heating process (approx. 163 F), chemical modification and pH regulation to produce cheese. Each of these steps denatures (damages) the whey proteins.”

    Let’s look at one amino acid in particular:  Cysteine vs. Cystine

    “Biologically active whey protein that contains naturally occurring Cysteine is optimal for the intracellular production of Glutathione. If Cysteine undergoes any heating or processing, as all conventional dairy and dairy by-products do, it is denatured and converted to Cystine.”

    Glutathione is produced within our bodies and is vital for supporting phase 2 of detoxification. It is imperative that the protein profile offers our bodies this nutrition for safe cleansing.

    The Isalean shakes are undenatured whey protein from grass fed cows in New Zealand and are processed using a low temperature process.  They have the full amino acid profile needed to support phase 2 of the detoxification pathway.  This makes it the perfect compliment to the “cleanse for life” juice drink which supports the “phase one” pathway.

    Preventative health is more than just eating well and exercising.  It is finding a safe way to help rid the body ofharmful impurties that we encounter everyday. I have found that incorporating a comprehensive cleansing program that is easy to follow into my daily life has taken my health to a new level and has helped me reach my ideal weight and keep me there!

    Tags: , , , , Isagenix Resveratrol,   

    Aging is associated with free radicals and has many components.  One  Harvard-educated researcher believes they’ve have discovered a proverbial ‘fountain of youth’.*

    They’re talking about resveratrol, calling it a miracle ingredient, and the greatest discovery since antibiotics.*

    Resveratrol is a compound found in the skin and seeds of grapes.

    Researchers have been mystified for years about how the French can smoke cigarettes and eat high-fat foods, yet still have extremely low rates of cancer and heart disease. They call it the French paradox.

    Harvard researchers Dr. Christoph Westphal and David Sinclair conducted genetic research to investigate the French paradox.

    Until now, scientists believed drinking red wine had health benefits*… but couldn’t put their finger on exactly why.

    Now they believe the resveratrol in wine activates cells into behaving more youth-like in a number of ways.*

    The biggest hurdle with resveratrol is finding a way to consume the large concentrations required to provide you with a benefit. You’d need several bottles of wine per day to get the anticipated benefit from resveratrol. Drinking large amounts of wine or other alcoholic beverages will increase your insulin levels, which will eventually have a negative impact on your health in a number of ways.

    I’ll tell you in a minute how you can get your highly-concentrated resveratrol without the alcohol, sugars and calories of red wine.

    But first, let’s discuss how to control your free radical levels…

    Neutralizing the Free Radical Threat

    Every day of your life you face exposure to dangerous free radicals. No matter how healthy a lifestyle you lead or how healthy your diet is, this is simply a fact of life.

    Fortunately this is not all bad – as your normal bodily functions (breathing, metabolism, and physical activity) naturally generate free radicals. Your immune system also generates free radicals to help neutralize viruses and bacteria.

    But some free radicals are the result of environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, pesticides, and cigarette smoking.

    The problem starts when these free radicals attack your healthy cells and cause them to weaken and become more susceptible to health disorders. Plus, this can also have a profound effect on how you age.

    Why wouldn’t you want to cleanse your body on a cellular level with Isagenix? 

    The information about harmful chemicals all around us is becoming more mainstream. Everyday there are articles, and news reports about how every day chemicals that we don’t even give a second thought about are being found to negatively impact our health.  In a recent letter from the Environmental Defense Fund they state “many of these chemicals have never been safety tested”.  So you ask might yourself, “what does this mean to me”?  Consider that one of the key issues the EDF is alerting us to is the fact that these chemicals have not been tested for their cumulative effects on our bodies, and they have not been tested on how they interact with each other in our bodies.  The National Geographic magazine in an article in the fall of 2006  addressed this very scary fact. So what do we do to help protect ourselves?

    Being in the medical field I was quite leery of, and continue to be leery of herbs for cleansing. So when I came across a proven system that was clinically tested, and had a proven track record of over several years, I became interested in learning more.  I had many questions and all were graciously answered by the associate who worked with me. I decided to use the system and within a few days had noticable results.  My weight loss and health improvement results were better than I ever dreamed they would be.

    Cleansing our internal bodies can be a simple and effective way to assist the body in releasing harmful impurities.  Isagenix offered me a way to “cleanse” my internal body while offering me a system with a proven track record, that has been clinically tested.

    If you would like to a copy of the National Geographic article or want to know more about the system I use, I invite you to view my web site and please contact me.    http://www.AileenHanson

    Vitamin D and winter in Northern CO 

    Vitamin D is not in abundance in the winter months, especially along the Front Range, in Northern CO. Experts advise us to supplement with Vitamin D to help protect us from an array of potential medical problems.  Information from a recent seminar  at the University of Toronto, Ontario Canada pertained to the “use of Vitamin D and how it can be used to prevent breast cancer — as well as infectious diseases, type 1 diabetes, hypertension, colon cancer, and falls in the elderly”.

    Here is a quote from the Dr. Mercola newsletter, “Currently, the U.S. RDA for vitamin D is 400 IU (international units) for the majority of the population. (IU is frequently shortened to just “units.”) This dose was recommended to prevent rickets, which works well, but does nothing to give the far more important protection from cancer, heart disease and infections.”

    So when chosing an effective form of Vitamin D what do you do?  According to this article there are 2 different forms.   One is natural and one is synthetic.

    • The natural one is D3 (cholecalciferol), which is the same vitamin D your body makes when exposed to sunshine
    • The synthetic one is vitamin D2, which is sometimes called ergocalciferol

    “Once either form of the vitamin is in your body, it must be converted to a more active form. Vitamin D3 is converted 500 percent faster than vitamin D2, and is clearly a better alternative.”

    Isagenix uses Vit. D3 in its products.  Once again I have found 3rd party information that supports the choices Isagenix makes when formulating their full spectrum products.

    Like many,  I am interested in keeping life simple so I have time to enjoy the things I like most to do.  Since finding out about the Isagenix nutritional supplementation I know I am getting the best supplements for my body.

    To learn more about the Isagenix program (and it’s ingredients), or to order them at the lowest prices, please visit my web site:  http://www.AileenHanson.com

    Common Household Items linked to serious health risks and obesity 

    Information about how our modern word convenience and products are contributing to serious health risks and obesity is becoming more well-known.  The Environmental Defense Fund is one organization that has been a leader in providing facts to the pubic about this threat to our health.  In an article this month the EDF warns us about invisible toxins inside our homes.  They helped write a report in collaboration with the coalition Safer Chemicals Healthy Families.  This report “connects the dots between chemical exposures and chronic disease”.  The following are a few common household items that contain chemicals linked to serious health risks:   flooring and windows, plastics, fragrances,  food can linings, nonstick cookware, cleaners, hardwood floor protectant, carpeting, nonstick cookware, stain resistant fabrics, microwaves, adhesives, pizza boxes, fast food containers, batteries, old paint, lightbulbs.  This list contains items we can avoid and many that would be very difficult to avoid in our modern world.

    As a Physical Therapist in Northern Colorado where health is on the minds of many people,  I am seeing more and more chronic illnesses,  more illnesses affecting people at younger ages, and people desperately wanting to lose weight.  We owe it to ourselves to be diligent about what we eat, what we purchase, what we bring into our homes, and how our actions are affecting our environment.  And we owe it to ourselves to find safe ways to rid our bodies of harmful impurities.

    To  help protect us from things in our environment that we are unable to control I have embraced a safe and effective lifestyle using the Isagenix system.  I feel it is the best way to help my families immune system. We are very thankful for having been introduced to the system that Isagenix has so brilliantly designed.

    To view a very interesting and informative video about this topic please visit :  http://www.AileenHanson.com click on  ”isavideo“,  then “Are You Toxic“.

    This video is designed to inform us about the environmental toxins all around us, and educate us about a safe and easy way to help maintain and improve our health.

    If you would like to learn more or get started, please contact me.  My contact information is on that web site.

    I hope you have found this information useful.
