Day 14: Sustain Electrolytes

Because my family runs at supersonic speed. Between holiday activities, shopping, the gym, and sports, we sweat a lot. I know that staying hydrated during physical activity is crucial.

When we body sweat, we actually lose more than just water; electrolytes are also lost. Electrolytes are essential minerals. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Keeping well-hydrated improves my sleep quality, cognition, and mood, but is especially important to sustain physical activity especially during the holidays. We can’t let Santa down!

Packed with essential vitamins, like Vitamins C and E antioxidant support that helps prevent sore muscles, and Vitamin B12 and Riboflavin for energy and cellular support.

No artificial colors.

$12.99 for twenty packets which amounts to $0.64 per 16 ounce bottle.

In the pink!

Day 10: Proflex Protein

Did you know that not all protein powders are built the same?
That’s why I choose to rebuild and recover with high-performance Proflex Pro whey protein shakes. Just because it’s the holiday season doesn’t mean my workout time goes away, I still need to keep my muscles strong and healthy so I can carry all those packages and lug all of the decorations from the attic.

I love that this vanilla shake mix packs 30 grams of protein and 6.5 grams of BCAAs in each serving for superior muscle tissue growth and faster recovery. It also comes in chocolate. I like to drink one as a snack on busy days especially after my workouts since it offers maximum recovery and muscle building.

$32.00 – $35.79

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!

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.

Why Is Drinking Water So Important?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Some people say they don’t want to drink before bedtime so they don’t have to get up at night to use the bathroom.
I asked a cardiologist, “Why do people, especially old people, pee so much at night?”
His answer was: “When you stand or sit, the force of gravity holds water in your lower body. This is why legs can swell. When you lie down, your lower body seeks balance with the kidneys. So the kidneys remove the water along with the trash because then it’s easier.”

Water is essential to remove waste from your body.

According to cardiologists, the best time to drink water is best done at well-defined times to maximize efficiency
throughout the body. Here are the optimum times

  • Drink two glasses of water right after waking up to activate internal organs.
  • One glass of water 30 minutes before each meal will help improve digestion.
  • One glass of water before taking a bath (or shower) will lower blood pressure.
  • One glass of water before going to bed, will prevent a stroke or heart attack.
  • Drink water before bed TO avoid leg cramps during the night. (Your leg muscles, when you have cramps, are seeking water and moisture.)

Hot Day Hydration

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Hot days! Over 90’s! I am getting hydrated! Here’s a Public Service Announcement for anyone melting in this 100-degree heat:

If you’re only drinking water…congratulations, it’s great. But, unfortunately, you may still pass out from heat and dehydration. What you actually need is: Electrolytes. Electrolytes are your summer lifeline. Electrolytes are not just a “gym thing.” They’re not just a “sports drink” thing. Electrolytes make sure you don’t-end-up-face-first-in-the-yard thing.

You want the holy hydration trinity:
• Potassium (for muscle + heart function)
• Magnesium (for cramps + mood)
• Calcium (for nerve function)
Not a product with 500mg of sodium in a fluorescent blue bottle.

That’s why I like Sustain. Sustain has four electrolytes with vitamins C, E and B12! It also has six grams of sugar!
Sustain has sugar because that touch of glucose helps your cells better absorb all that hydration goodness.

If you get too much salt? You bloat.
Too little potassium? You cramp like a banshee.
No magnesium? Welcome to twitchy-town and mood swings.
If you get no electrolytes at all? Enjoy your front-row seat to heat stroke, dizziness, and possibly crying in the Kroger parking lot.

Pro tip: To hydrate properly, you need 100mg sodium and ditch the junk. You don’t need dyes, chemicals, or a sugar crash pretending to hydrate you.

After all, Hydration isn’t just water. It’s electrically charged survival.

That’s why I drink Sustain.

And you thought you were doing your body a favor by switching from Coke to Diet Coke?

Think again.

It’s been said that a coke (or diet coke) is so caustic that it can clean the corrosion of your car battery. You want that in your gut?
