    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.

    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

    Isagenix for Athletes 

    When winning is on the line, make sure nutrition is on your side. Athletes faced with the pressure of regular workouts and performance have increased nutritional needs, especially when it comes to protein.

    With Isagenix products, athletes can gain an edge. These step-by-step guidelines are full-proof for helping strength and endurance athletes meet performance goals.

    Step 1: Get enough protein daily with help from high-protein IsaLean® Shakes, Bars and Soups

    Protein is major in sports performance. Without enough protein intake, athletic potential can be seriously hampered. This is because the body doesn’t store protein well. Continual replenishment is needed for repairing muscle breakdown and building new muscle tissue.

    The average adult needs about 0.6-0.8 grams protein per kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) daily. Active adults should keep protein up to about 0.8 grams per kilogram daily. How much do athletes need? It can depend on exercise intensity and type of training. Studies on endurance athletes and strength training athletes suggest they can gain most from intake of 1.4 grams to 1.8 grams per kilogram daily, respectively.

    Athletes can make sure they’re getting enough protein daily with IsaLean Shakes, Bars and Soups. These meal-replacements are high in protein and are balanced with healthy amounts of carbs and fats as well as a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals.

    Step 2: Maximize muscle gains by drinking IsaLean® Shake in the morning and spacing protein intake throughout the day

    Protein intake daily is less important than time of intake. Studies show the biggest muscle gains come from regular protein intake throughout the day. Consistent increases in plasma levels of amino acids support muscle recovery and growth.

    Athletes on a typical Western-style diet may find their protein intake varies too much throughout the day. An athlete needing 90 grams of protein intake daily, for example, may eat breakfast of just an egg, toast and coffee (approximately 10 grams of protein), then a chicken sandwich for lunch (approximately 20 grams of protein), and, to make up the difference, steak for dinner (approximately 60 grams of protein).

    Typical_Western_diet

    Best advice for these athletes to make the biggest impact on muscle gains is to switch to a diet that provides quality sources of protein throughout the day. Athletes needing 90 grams of protein per day should have the same level of protein at breakfast, lunch and dinner at approximately 30 grams (see graph below). To help cover protein requirements in the morning, athletes should drink an IsaLean Shake for breakfast or with breakfast.

    Maximum_muscle

    Plus, the combination of proteins in the shake can make a profound difference. Dairy whey is quickly absorbed protein giving athletes a large increase in amino acids. Casein is more slowly absorbed providing a sustained increase in plasma amino acids.

    Step 3: Never end workouts without IsaPro® whey protein mixed into a IsaLean Shake

    The one- to two-hour period right after a workout is prime time for muscle anabolism. It’s this time when you need protein most. The body is craving nutrients for muscle recovery and protein is highest on the list, especially if the protein is high in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

    Whey protein is rich in all the BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, valine. Research studies show that extra fast-absorbing whey protein after workouts boosts muscle growth in active adults and athletes.

    Enter IsaPro® unflavored whey protein: one scoop of IsaPro to one and a half scoops of IsaLean Shake provides a whopping 35 grams of protein per serving. The extra protein along with the extra nutrients from the shake makes for best muscle recovery.

    And don’t think it wrong to add in some fruit to your ultra-high protein shake after exercise. Studies show that some sugar during and after workouts induces an insulin response that helps drive protein synthesis along with helping to replenish muscle glycogen (carbs stored in your muscle for quick energy).

    Other Isagenix products for athletes?

    • Athletes can take advantage of Ionix Supreme® for its content of “adaptogens” for powering performance while under stress.
    • Workouts are always easier with Want More Energy?® to replenish carbs and B vitamins that are depleted during exercise.
    • Never eat another one of your meals without Multi-Enzyme Complex. The digestive enzymes supplement boosts break down of protein and increases absorption of amino acids. It can also help endurance athletes gain lasting energy by helping to break down complex carbs.
    • Everyone knows they should be on fish oil for cardiovascular health, but what athletes may not know is that fish oil reduces inflammation supporting joint health too. IsaOmega Supreme™ is best suited for athletes because of high potency and because its purity is guaranteed.
    • With exercise comes increased oxidative stress from free radicals, which makes antioxidants more important than ever for the body. Athletes can be sure they’re getting a broad variety of antioxidants with plenty of fruits and vegetables in their diet along with supplements such as Cleanse for Life™, Antioxidants™, IsaFruits® and IsaDelight™.
    • Lastly, there’s no body function possible without adequate amounts of water. Athletes can be sure they’re getting the best water for their body with IsaWater™ Alkalized Concentrate, which delivers a high negative Oxidation Reduction Potential to neutralize free radicals in water.

    Success Comes with Consistency

    Staying on top of nutrition, particularly protein intake, isn’t always easy. Athletes should be sure to have plenty of Isagenix products on hand for when they’re needed most. IsaLean Shake, IsaLean Soups and IsaPro should always be available in easy reach at home and at the office. IsaLean Bars are travel-friendly for those on-the-go athletes. Consistency brings consistent recovery and consistent muscle gains, which leads to top-level form performance.

    Many People in Belle Vernon Pa Lose weight Safely and Quickly with Isagenix 

    Why  have so many people in Belle Vernon, Pa. lost weight using the Isagenix technology?

    Isagenix is not a diet, it’s a total body cellular cleanse which means you won’t be in the bathroom all day. This is not an intestinal cleanse. The Isagenix technology supplies your body with the finest, no compromise, raw materials it needs to gently cleanse every cell in your body.

    Isagenix provides high quality, organic minerals, vitamins and amino acids necessary to fuel your body’s own inherent cleansing ability. If the proper minerals are not present your body cannot carry out it’s natural, inborn cleansing process. When our bodies aren’t able to cleanse, toxins build up in our tissues, primarily the adipose (fat) tissue. In fact, research now shows that our body will create new fat cells to envelope these toxins and hold them at bay so they (toxins) don’t damage our health.  Toxins are known to cause or make us more susceptible to chronic, degenerative diseases such: as type 2 diabetes; heart disease; strokes; cancer and of course, obesity.

    You can lose weight safely and quickly using Isagenix as so many people have done in my town of Belle Vernon, Pa.

    Tips From John Anderson Master Formulator and Creator of Isagenix Products 

    Diabetics can reap the benefits of Isagenix too; A few tips for you!

    Shakes;
    Normally, the shakes should be cut in 1/2 servings more often. This will spread out the carbs hitting the system all at once.

    Cleansing;
    You should always start Isagenix doing daily cleansing by adding 2 to 4 ounces in your daily drinking water. I have hundreds of reported testimonies stating that just doing the daily cleanse (4 oz daily) lowers blood sugars by 40 points on average.

    Deep Cleansing;
    This is not recommended because its hard to set a plan that works for every diabetic. Everyone is so different. Regulating blood sugars are a balancing act, If you reduct your carb intake and not adjust your insulin, you will have an insulin reaction.
    Deep cleansing must be regulated and monitored by your doctor or health care provider.

    Fiber;
    Fiber is important for diabetics, it slows the carbs greatly and helps stabilize blood sugar. Adding the FiberPro and eating Slim Cakes will help

    Mens / Women’s Vitamins;
    Its always a benefit to add the necessary B vitamins to your regime, they help as well

    Omegas;
    Very important for helping in insulin receptors making your body recognize insulin better.

    There are many added ingredients in Isagenix system for helping stabilize blood suagrs too;

    Alpha Lipoic Acid, Blood glucose
    Chromium, improves glucose tolerance
    Fiber, slows and helps control blood sugar
    Minerals, most important for reducing blood sugars
    Vitamin E, may improve glucose tolerance
    Vitamin B6, helps neuropathy
    Vitamin B1, helps reduce blood sugar levels
    CoEnzymeQ10, cardio-protection risks from diabetes
    Niacin, blood circulation
    Zinc, great in type 1 for blood sugars reduction
    Vitamin D, for blood levels normalization
    Inositol, nerve function for neuropathy
    Taurine, type 1 for the blood
    Omegas, for glucose tolerance and cholesterol levels
    Cayenne, blood circulation
    Psyllium, for blood sugar levels
    Cinnamon, for blood sugar levels control

    Maybe reading and understanding these ingredients will help you understand the importance of good nutrition when your body is under abnormal conditions.

    The need for diabetic nutrition is a must for everyone regardless of type or stage you are in. I am diabetic since my spider bite. I am type 2 and doing very well controlling it. My cholesterol is 85!

    Isagenix does not add stimulants to their products! 

    There may be ingredients which naturally contain small amounts of caffeine, such as the green tea in Natural Accelerators, or the chocolate in IsaDelight.

    Those sensitive to ginseng may also need to avoid Natural Accelerator and Ionix.

    Isagenix encourages anyone with a medical condition to contact their doctor before using any Isagenix product or other dietary supplement or weight control regimen.

    All of the Isagenix ingredients and nutrition facts are available at http://www.CleanseMyself.com for the physician’s review.
