Keeping the Holidays Merry & Bright

Day 8: Vitality for Life Collagen Boost

I mix it in with my coffee, smoothie, protein drink, or any drink to give my beverage and my hectic day a boost!

Stress, rushing around, lack of sleep and holiday plans can take a toll on your skin and body. Because beauty begins at the cellar level and not all collagen is created equal, I add Collagen Boost to my busy routine.
Collagen Boost helps reduce the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles by visibly improving skin elasticity and tone. It even helps decrease the appearance of cellulite. The added ceramides provide improved skin hydration and support for healthy skin barrier function.
Collagen’s critical impact on multiple systems of your body makes it an essential building block of healthy bones, joints, and skin. It’s formulated to support my body’s collagen production to help me look and feel young.
It is a powerful daily collagen drink supplement that’s been proven to boost my body’s collagen production, helping me look and feel young!

Are You A Diet Soda Drinker?

Many people justify drinking diet soda because the sugar has been removed, thinking it’s a healthier option.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 20% of Americans drink diet soda on a regular basis.

But did you know that it is still considered an ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD? It’s because of the manufacturing process and ingredients like additives and artificial sweeteners.

So what? Well, research links ultra-processed foods to an acceleration in biological again and a 10% increase in mortality risk. In fact, one study reported a link between ultra processed food consumption and 32 negative health issues, including asthma, high blood pressure, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, sleep disorders, anxiety and Crohn’s disease.

But get this: In another study, 90% of the women who switched to water reached remission for their Type II Diabetes. 

  1. Study participants were randomly grouped to either one group that continued to drink diet soda five times per week after their lunch, and another group that substituted their usual diet soda with water.
  2. During the study, participants were also provided with a six-month weight loss intervention, followed by a 12-month weight maintenance program.
  3. At the 18 month follow-up, researchers found that participants in the water group experienced a much larger average weight loss when compared to the diet soda group.

Additionally, 90% of study participants in the water group reached type 2 diabetes remission, compared to only 45% in the diet soda group.

Might be worth the switch!

Can I Slow Down The Aging Process?

Yes, you can.

Telomeres are the protective caps, located at the ends of chromosomes. They play a critical role when it comes to healthy aging.

But what can we do to extend those telomeres?

  • One study found that daily vitamin D supplemen-tation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, which happens as people get older, and thus may protect against diseases tied to age and biological aging.
  • The data suggested that vitamin D’s effects on a cellular level would be equal to a three-year decrease in aging.

Always request your Vitamin D labs so you can keep an eye on this important marker.
Your goal?
Always over 50 and ideally over 60 and beyond!

Day 2: Mela-Out Magnesium

Because we all need a good quality magnesium for a million reasons. Drinking Mela-Out Magnesium will help you relax and feel calmer so you can better manage everyday stress.*

Mela-Out was developed for maximum absorption. When you feel stressed, your nervous system releases hormones that cause your muscles to become tense, your heart to pound faster, and your breath to quicken.

Magnesium relieves muscle tension, which has a dramatic impact on the level of stress you feel. Magnesium also promotes digestive regularity, helps relieve restlessness, improves sleep, and even minimizes cramping after exertion.*

In short…calm mind, better sleep and better recovery from all your holiday plans. I know I Stress less with magnesium as nature intended with Mela-Out.

OSTEOARTHRITIS vs RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 

Ever wondered how osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis differ? Both can cause joint pain and stiffness, but they have distinct causes and treatment approaches. Understanding these differences is key to managing symptoms effectively BUT knowing the proper nutrition path can help one live a life free of pain and discomfort.
When one is first diagnosed with a disease, it’s easy/normal to feel weak, to feel like a victim, to question “why me”. But when I discovered the huge role that nutrition plays when it comes to fighting and overcoming disease, I felt inspired. This knowledge, this truth of proper nutrition can allow you to truly take charge of your health once and for all.

If you have a medical diagnosis that requires treatment, please know your doctor most likely will NOT give you a protocol of proper nutrition to go alongside it. WHY? Because ….. 

  • They were never educated on nutrition
  • They treat you the way the insurance industry tells them to treat you 
  • The insurance company does not want nutrition to be part of their protocol because they don’t make any money on that!

I can’t give medical advice but I certainly can help build a plan of attack to boost your immune system and address symptoms.
If you need assistance, please ask! I’m only a zoom away and you’d be shocked at how much you can learn that will positively impact your future health!
