Childhood Obesity Linked to Fast Foods

drannettecartaxo — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 06:05:34 +0000

The President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Dr. Neal Barnard, stated that the blame of the increasing rate of childhood obesity seems to be linked to the increase in unhealthy foods rather than decreased exercise.

Dr. Barnard analyzed food availability data from 1909 to 2007 and found that during that period of time the food availability increased from 35 to 87 lbs per person per year of oils, from 124 to 200 lbs per person per year of meat, from 4 to 33 lbs per person per year of cheese and from 1.5 to 25 lbs per person per year of frozen dairy products.

Also from 1970 to 2007 the availability of sweeteners increased from 119 to 136 lbs per person per year. This increase in caloric sweeteners reflects the increase in high-fructure corn syrup, which in part may be related to the sharp availability of carbonated beverages which increased by 15 gallons per person per year when comparing data from 2007 to 1980.

Lets stop and think about this for a minute. This increase alone in sweeteners i.e. mostly high-fructose corn syrup in the last 27 years has had a dramatic impact on rather new childhood illnesses such as diabetes, obesity and not to mention ADHD?!

Do you think a growing child with a growing brain should be bathed in so much sugar?!

The consumption of bad fats is what is increasing so we must educate ourselves on the good fats. Overall I believe Dr. Barnard is stating that we eat too much and so it follows that our children do the same. To quote Dr. Barnard, “Our analysis of USDA figures shows that the big increases over the last century have been in the amount of meat, cheese, oil, and frozen desserts that people are consuming. While people tend to blame a lack of exercise, it appears that meaty, cheesy diets are largely to blame.”

Toxin Alert: Innocuous items in the home expose us to dangerous chemicals

4aileen — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:56:42 +0000

According to Green America Quarterly, “there are more than 80,000 chemicals used in consumer products and manufacturing in the US, and more than 2,000 new chemicals are introduced each year. Only about 200 have been tested for safety.” As a young mother I was concerned about chemicals even in pacifiers. So, I did not use them with my daughter. Nearly 25 years ago when my daughter was born I was concerned that even pacifiers contained chemicals. I thank my intuition for making the decision to not use them. Now nearly 25 years later, reports are becoming available to the public about the health hazards of once accepted everyday chemicals for cleaning, and items found in the home . Items which would be considered innocuous such as cosmetics, household cleaners, stain resistant clothes, and furniture are all being labeled as contributing to this problem. Do your research and you will find out that more and more, there is research which links the relationship between this threat and a whole host of chronic diseases. In time it will become more understood.

Fortunately there are precautions we can take to help minimize the risk of these invisible threats. This video exposes some everyday household items and how despite doing our best to eat healthy we can do more.

I encourage you to eat organic when possible, to help support a cleaner environment and at the same time you will be bringing home healthier food for you and the people you care about.

I hope this information has peaked your interest in taking a look at everyday products in your home as possibly contributing to unnecessary stress on your body.

If you would like information on how to purchase the cellular cleansing system we use. or if you would like more information I have gathered on the burden these toxins can play on our newborns please contact me.

Undenatured Whey Protein Shakes important part of cleansing and weight loss

4aileen — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:56:28 +0000

“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

drjoe1 — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 02:27:17 +0000

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.

If you’d like to learn more about Isagenix please visit http://www.cleansepittsburgh.com or call Dr. Joe at 724-413-5057.

Vitamin D and winter in Northern CO

4aileen — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:17:11 +0000

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.

Fort Collins, CO Isagenix Cleansing business building dreams

4aileen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:31:08 +0000

I never would have thought that stopping by a kiosk at a mall in Fort Collins, CO to win a bottle of an Aloe based body cleanse would change my life. My results on the cleanse were so surprising that I had to look further into who else was having such wonderful results.

I wanted to know more about the people who make up this company and product line. It has taken me on a journey and opened my eyes to what true wellness is and what residual income is. As a Physical Therapist I thought I was doing all the right things to stay healthy and to plan for retirement.

What I have learned was that I was missing a key component to preventative health, and that I can share good health, build income with a global business, and help others do the same, right from my home in Fort Collins, CO.!

I love helping others to be happy and Isagenix is the perfect vehicle for me.
