    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!

    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.

    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.

    Is This One Habit Making You Overweight? 

    Bet you will never guess this one smarty pants…That’s right it’s Soda Pop.
    The leading cause prior to soda was reported to be white bread, but has since then been defeated by a new champion…the king of high fructose corn syrup. According to recent studies, soda is now the number one source of calories in America.  The reported diets of a vast nationwide sample of American adults were carefully studied by researchers. Among the participants of the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
    More than two-thirds reported drinking enough soda or sweet drinks to supply them with a greater proportion of daily calories than any other food.
    Those who consumed sweet drinks had higher obesity rates.
    By identifying the leading sources of excess energy in the American diet, researchers are hopeful that the findings may enrich the establishment of needed strategies to battle obesity and further contribute to fat loss.

    Additional Supporting Evidence:
    There are more strikes against soda and sweet drinks than the above documented research. According to the American Dietetic Association, trusting on a Coca-Cola to quench your thirst cravings could waste a great amount of your daily calorie allotment.
    Did you know that most adults need 1,600 up to 2,400 calories daily and the average 64-ounce “Big Gulp” non-diet sweet drink that you can purchase at your local 7-11 store can score up to a whopping 800 calories in just one serving.
    So what room does that leave for nutrient-rich foods that your body craves? Very little.
    The saddest part of this eye opening article about America’s health is tragic to say the least because eliminate soda from your diet could be one of the easiest and most convenient ‘poisons’ to eliminate from your diet.
    The refreshing taste that soda gives is not so refreshing after all and the sugar content from the high-fructose modified corn syrup will annihilate your insulin and leptin levels which greatly reduces your chance of achieving optimal and exceptional health.
    Other conditions related to soft drink intake include:
    * Osteoporosis
    * Attention deficit disorder (ADD)
    * Insomnia
    * Kidney stones
    * Tooth decay
    And one of the most damaging factors may be that it’s creating overweight Americans. Check out this alarming fact…The risk of obesity rises an alarming 60 percent for each can of cola you devour each day, and it’s also may be lowering the average age of death in America to a number in years so low that your kids will be dying at a younger age than you do for the first time in history.
    Luckily you are now aware and it’s never too late. One of the most important steps you could take now is to be quit drinking that soda and switch to a pure source of water. Good ice cold water!

    Be aware that soda can be quite addictive just like a cigarette to a smoker, so be caution when eliminating the big gulp altogether. A great support system may be necessary so you might want to recruit your family and friend to keep you accountable or better yet, do it with you. Hope this helps!
