    Fighting childhood obesity in greater Trenton, New Jersey 

    Isagenix is in the News again!

    I Love Isagenix so much!  The Isagenix products are amazing.  I can tell you that they worked for me when nothing else did and I tried everything.

    Isagenix products are changing and improving the lives of both the old and the young.  With childhood obesity on the rise concerned parents are looking for healthy was to give their children the good nutrition they need to grow.

    Recently, Isagenix was in the News locally in New Jersey helping to both Moms and kids get healthy and lose weight!

    See the whole article here:  Isagenix products ahttp://www.trentonian.com/articles/2010/07/03/news/doc4c2ff51df03c2948320808.txt

    Here is what you will read-

    Health and weight loss are both business and personal for Marilyn Ganges, who started a business selling cleansing and fat-burning products that have helped her lose weight.

    “I lost 20 pounds my first month. I know that there are so many programs out there and people are confused, but I truly believe this is the best one for most people,” Ganges said.

    “Kids love this stuff. You can add fruits like strawberries, bananas or blueberries to make great tasting shakes. Children won’t even know that they are eating healthy.”

    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!

    Resveratrol Good For Your Brain 

    Source: Isagenix Nutritional Sciences
    Resveratrol (found naturally in grapes) is not just good for the heart, but the brain.Resveratrol (found naturally in grapes) is not just good for the heart, but also the brain.

    Resveratrol, which has previously been linked to cardiovascular health benefits and maintaining youthfulness, is now showing promise in supporting brain health.

    The compound, taken orally at high doses, helps improve cerebral blood flow according to a human clinical study from the United Kingdom published recently in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

    In the randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial, UK researchers gave 22 healthy adults a placebo (sugar pill) and two doses of trans-resveratrol at 250 milligrams and at 500 milligrams. Forty five minutes after each administration,, the subjects performed cognitive tasks to activate the frontal cortex (the part of the brain that is associated with attention, planning and motivation) for 36 minutes.

    Although cognitive function wasn’t affected in this study, the trans-resveratrol resulted in a dose-dependent increase in cerebral blood flow, indexed by total concentrations of hemoglobin, during each of the tasks. Both doses of trans-resveratrol also suggested enhanced oxygen extraction, (which helps boost oxygen supply in the brain.

    Why all the focus on resveratrol

    Research into resveratrol, a polyphenol found naturally in grape skins and other plants, has primarily been fueled by early studies suggesting red wine has a role in creating the “French Paradox.” The paradox is that those living in France had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease despite a high-fat diet and smoking.

    More recently, in 2006, a study in Nature found resveratrol protected middle-aged mice against the detrimental health effects of a high-fat, high-calorie diet. Scientists have now learned that resveratrol supports increased mitochondria synthesis, increased insulin sensitivity and improved motor function in animals.

    Resveratrol as a way to obtain the benefits of eating less and exercising more is also an area of research. The compound appears to mimic the same effects on biochemical pathways as calorie restriction and increased activity with benefits clearly demonstrated with extended lifespan in rodents, fruit flies and worms.

    Understanding the processes influenced by resveratrol, including how it affects mitochondria and supports release of nitric oxide, can help create a greater understanding how these processes are regulated, and ultimately how better to take control of the aging process.

    How much should you get daily?

    Most people obtain only a few milligrams of resveratrol in their diets daily, mainly from red wine, grapes, chocolate and peanuts. The average content of resveratrol in a typical red wine bottle is about 4 milligrams per liter and in white wine less than 1 milligram per liter.

    Short-term safety studies suggest that resveratrol is well tolerated in amounts as high as 5 grams with no marked toxicity or serious adverse events.

    This study’s effects were found at doses of 250 milligrams and 500 milligrams, and suggest even greater effects in the brain at doses as high as 1,000 or 5,000 milligrams daily.

    Previous studies have shown that trans-resveratrol at levels of around 125 milligrams to 250 milligrams has demonstrated cardio-protective action as well as potential protection against inflammation in the body.

    Because the typical North American diet does not contribute nearly enough to obtain these levels (although drinking more red wine and eating more chocolate may appeal to some) supplementation is ultimately necessary to take advantage of resveratrol’s full range of benefits.

    Study reference: Kennedy DO, Wightman EL, Reay JL et al. Effects of resveratrol on cerebral blood flow variables and cognitive performance in humans: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover investigation. Am J Clin Nutr 2010;91:1590-7.

    John Anderson Answers: Chelation and Blood Sugar 

    Chelation is done in several ways;
    IV targeting the blood directly and in nutrition, using botanicals and types / forms of ions attracting metals etc for collection and elimination from the body.

    An example of this is Di-Benzo-Alpha-Pyrones, a small molecules (a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction), that can attract and collect heavy metals from blood, then causing chelation to occur. This is a component of Shilajit in the Ionix Supreme.

    Disglycemic tendencies;
    (abnormal blood sugar regulation). Disglycemia can show up as an elevated fasting blood sugar (above 100) or an abnormal rise in blood sugar after ingesting something sweet (higher than 150 after a meal). Disglycemic blood sugar may indicate a tendency toward diabetes or insulin resistance.

    This may be caused by being over weight, but can be controlled in this case by reducing the body fat in a safe and nutritionally supported way.

    Hope this will help
    John

    Raising Healthy Children 

    Adults can act as role models to encourage children to eat healthy and stay active. Adults can act as role models to encourage children to eat right and stay active.

    Childhood obesity continues to be a major health problem and is increasing at an alarming rate. A few decades ago it was uncommon to see an overweight or obese child, whereas today, it is much more common  and becoming more so every year.

    According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly one out of every seven children, or 15 percent of children in the U.S., are overweight or obese. In fact, over the last three decades, the rate of obesity has more than doubled for preschool children and adolescents, and more than tripled for elementary school-age children.

    Tips for Keeping Kids On the Move

    Children who are inactive are more likely to become overweight because they are not burning extra calories like children who are physically active. When calories consumed become greater than calories burned, the result is weight gain. Television and video games may also play a large role in kids leading a sedentary lifestyle and becoming overweight. Here are a few ways to help encourage lifestyle habits that keep children active.

    • Make physical activity fun! Encourage outdoor activities that kids like such as bicycling, skating, or swimming. Get them involved in sports they enjoy, whether it’s a team sport or individual sport. The important thing is that they enjoy it. If they find it fun, they will be more likely to do it.
    • Be sure to get involved with your children, picking activities that the whole family can enjoy together. Plan outings as a family—bike rides, nature walks, scavenger hunts, and play games like Red Rover that encourage fitness. Let them witness you enjoying the activity along with them. Making time for outdoor play is important because often a child’s entire schedule can become dominated with sedentary, indoor activities.
    • Have children help with daily chores, whether it’s sweeping, vacuuming, gardening, anything that gets them moving. Not only will they be helping out, but they will also be getting some physical activity at the same time.

    Tips to Keep Kids Eating Right

    In addition to not expending much energy, kids who participate in sedentary activities often practice unhealthy snacking, which further contributes to weight gain. Other than physical activity, the best method to help control weight is to eat nutritious meals regularly. Here are a few ways to help children healthy by encouraging them to eat right.

    • Enjoy family meals prepared at home. Studies show that children who eat meals frequently at home and with their families have better nutritional intake and a reduced risk for obesity. Once again, as adult role models, when we allow children to assist us in preparing meals at home and eating with us, it invites them to learn healthy traditions that can stay with them the rest of their lives.
    • When children are on the run, don’t let them head straight for ready-to-eat processed foods that are high in calories, sugar, fat and sodium. Cut out fast food or, if you must, encourage them to choose healthy alternatives—apples over fries, sweet potato fries over regular fries. Encourage whole fruits for snacks instead of chips, milk or water instead of soda.
    • Fill in nutritional gaps with Isagenix products. Too many children in the U.S. are overfed, but undernourished. The products can help children to grow and develop strong bones, muscles and minds. Here are products that children are sure to enjoy and can help promote their long-term health.
      • As part of a nutritious breakfast, children can enjoy a quick-and-easy IsaLean® Shake, which is high in protein, contains balanced amounts of carbohydrates and “good” fats, is low in sodium, and contain a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Children also enjoy taking IsaLean Bars to school as afternoon snacks.
      • Replace sugary sodas and drinks with IsaFruits®, a drink powder mix that provides children with the antioxidant equivalent of having consumed more than 30 different fruits consuming all the sugar.
      • Gain peace of mind with chewable IsaKids® Essentials, which can help cover daily requirements for many vitamins and minerals. For example, the dietary supplement contains vitamins A, C and E, folic acid, iodine and zinc. And, unlike other children’s vitamins, it is sweetened with xylitol to help fight cavities.

    Keeping Kids Motivated

    Rewarding healthy behaviors can help keep kids motivated. Don’t focus on the number of pounds they lost, but rather on making healthy changes. Activities they enjoy, such as taking them to the movies or a trip to the park, make fantastic rewards.

    As parents and responsible adult role models, it is truly our responsibility to not only set good examples, but also to reinforce positive habits like eating right and staying active. Every child deserves a bright and healthy future. We can each do our part to help combat the childhood obesity epidemic.

    Getting Past the Weight Loss Plateau 

    You may have been working out, eating right, cleansing regularly  and yet the scale hasn’t budged. It’s the dreaded “plateau.”

    It happens, but Isagenix® has the solution!

    Here are 8 ways Isagenix suggests to help you overcome your weight-loss plateau:

    1.    Step Up Your Exercise. Exercise can boost your results ten-fold, especially if it includes weight training. Not only will weight training help you build lean muscle, which helps burn fat, but it can also help strengthen bones. Be sure to consult a health-care professional before starting any exercise program.

    2.    Boost Your Protein Intake. A scoop of our high-quality IsaPro® whey protein from New Zealand along with 1-1½ scoops of IsaLean® Shake may be sufficient to provide an extra boost for supporting weight loss. Protein also helps to keep you feeling satisfied longer.

    3.    Snack Smart. We all snack, right? Just remember to avoid snacking on high-calorie, nutrient-deficient foods. In other words, keep the cake, potato chips and ice cream out of the house. Reach for a serving of SlimCakes®, Isagenix Snacks!™, just a few almonds or even half of an IsaLean Bar.

    4.   Make “Better Bad” Choices. If you’re out at a fast food restaurant and a greasy burger is calling your name, just choose a single-patty with lettuce and tomato and hold the cheese and mayo. Isagenix is all about creating a lifestyle—no one’s perfect. (Just plan your Cleanse Day for the day after your splurge.)

    5.    Fill Up With Fiber. Be sure you are receiving sufficient amounts of dietary fiber daily. Fiber helps to keep you feeling fuller, longer while also keeping your bowel movements regular. Isagenix recommends gradually increasing fiber to 25-30 grams daily, in line with current National Fiber Council recommendations. Isagenix products such as Isagenix FiberPro™ and SlimCakes can help fill fiber gaps. FiberPro is a flavorless fiber supplement that can be added to shakes or any beverage. SlimCakes are a delicious oatmeal berry-flavored cookie containing 5 grams of fiber each.

    6.    Avoid Sugary Drinks. These can add empty calories quickly and zero nutrition. It’s best to drink plenty of purified water and/or nutrient-dense sugar drink alternatives such as IsaFruits® or Want More Energy?® (check out our April deal on Want More Energy?). Make sure to add a pump of IsaWATER™ Alkalized Concentrate to every 8 ounces of water to not only neutralize free radicals, but also give your water a fresher taste.

    7.    Banish Bad Fats. The “bad” includes saturated and trans fats. “Good” fats include olive oil, which is rich in oleic acid, and fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. To take full advantage of omega-3 fatty acids, it’s best to take a high-potency, high-quality fish oil supplement daily such as IsaOmega Supreme®.  New research also shows that dietary omega-3 fatty acids may be linked to lower body weight.

    8.    Switch It Up. Sometimes getting into a routine can put your body into neutral. Push it past its boundaries by changing up your routine. Incorporate a 9-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System every now and then, try new exercises and instead of a slow, steady jog, try a sprint workout instead.

    Isagenix says, “Whatever you do, it’s important that you don’t become discouraged. Forget the number on the scale and pay attention to your body, including the inches you’re shedding, how you feel and the way your clothes are fitting. As you continue to enjoy a reduced-calorie diet, providing your body with quality nutrition, and building muscle through exercise, the weight will come off safely and you’ll be creating a true Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing way of life.”
