The Good & the Bad

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I’ve got Good News & Bad News…..

First the Bad News:

Remember when we were told one (or two) drinks a day could possibly benefit our health? Not true. A recent study of 4.8 million people proved an old study to be WRONG. The study found that……

  • People who have two drinks each day do NOT have a reduced risk of death than those who don’t drink at all, which is different than what we used to think.
  • People who drink about two drinks a day do NOT have any health benefits from drinking those drinks, again debunking previous misconceptions.
  • Worse: Women who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day and men who drank 45 or more grams per day had a higher risk of death from any cause.

So what’s the GOOD NEWS? 

Well, now you know the truth!

it’s the consistent, little things that you do regularly that have the biggest impact on your health and your goals.

Check out what happens when you get the right amount of fiber every day. Fiber helps to…

  • Promote Digestive Health — According to research, a high-fiber diet helps reduce the risk of many serious health concerns in the digestive tract.
  • Promote Healthy Weight Loss — Helps you feel fuller longer, reducing overeating, which in turn helps prevent weight gain and makes it easier to shed excess pounds.
  • Help Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease — Soluble fiber may help lower total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, which may in turn help lower the risk of heart disease.
  • Sweep Away Toxins and Waste — Fiber helps keep toxins from recirculating in the bile and blood, and speeds the passage of waste from the body.
  • Support Immunity — Provides food for the “friendly” bacteria in your large intestine that fight the growth of harmful bacteria and contribute to immune support throughout the body.
  • Improve Regularity — According to research, a high-fiber diet may help promote a healthy digestive tract and keep the gunk out of the trunk!

Fiber is SO important to our bodies! 

I love Fiberwise!

Who loves Fiberwise!??

This stuff is amazing! I call it my “flat belly drink” because it has helped me with bloating so much.

Sometimes I take it in the mornings, and other days in the evening or before bed.

I love that with 15g of fiber per serving, it’s good for my heart health and also helps me feel full and satisfied.

Plus it keeps my digestive system happy and functioning properly.

How has Fiberwise helped you?

Mela Out

Do you use Mela Out?

This stuff has been so helpful in winding down every day and getting a good nights sleep.

There are lots of different types of magnesium, and this type is the one that helps reduce STRESS.

Lowering stress and sleeping well are two factors that can help to improve overall health and weight loss goals.

If you haven’t tried this before, I highly recommend!

Start Your Morning Off Right

Start Your Morning Morning Off Right With This Blood Orange Smoothie Recipe

Blood Orange and Banana Smoothies are such a great way to start off your mornings! The pretty pop of color will keep moods high, and the Vitamin C can help shorten the length of time you suffer from an inevitable cold. Blood oranges are closer to red than orange on the inside, and it’s those darker pigments that make them higher in antioxidants than regular oranges. 

Blood oranges range in color on the inside from pinkish to ruby red to, well, blood red. On the outside, the skin has a bit of a maroon-ish hue. As far as flavor goes, you won’t mistake these for something other than oranges.

BLOOD ORANGE AND BANANA SMOOTHIES RECIPE
(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 16 ounces fresh blood orange juice
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1-2 Tablespoons honey, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into four glasses, and drink immediately.

Hydration is key

Hydration is key during these hot summer days we are facing. Water is essential but you must be sure you are getting all four of your electrolytes as well, but minus too much sugar. My company has a great hydration drink.

Not only a great hydration drink. It has a lot less sugar than the big box stores, it costs less and it tastes great!

Did you know that staying hydrated impacts your heart health?

If you are well hydrated, your heart does not have to work so hard. Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart more easily pump blood through the blood vessels to the muscles, and, it helps the muscles work more efficiently.

If a you perspire heavily, you will need to drink more than someone who doesn’t. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, may also mean you need to drink more water.

Remember, if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. These fun little fruity waters are a great way for you to drink more water during the day! Give them a try!

I Love Lemon Water

For the past year I have been starting my day with lemon water.

As this infographic shows, lemon water is great at helping to flush the toxins!

Collagen Boost

It’s a happy day for me.After my weight loss, my skin looked all “wrinkly” especially on my upper arms and legs.

You know, the skin right above your knees? Well, today, I noticed that the skin on my upper legs is smoother and tighter!

Could it be? Could it be the Collagen Boost making the difference in a month? It’s amazing! It’s working!
I haven’t changed anything else! I’m still following R3, exercising almost daily, drinking lots of water, taking Peak Performance Total Longevity! My upper arms are looking better too.

I know it’s the Collagen Boost! I’m a believer!

Sunscreen and collagen ? Yes, please!

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in certain algae. (It’s what gives salmon, lobsters, and flamingoes their pinkish color!!)

This antioxidant is 6,000 times more potent than Vitamin C; 560 times more potent than green tea; and
800 times more potent than CoQ10, providing the highest level of protection for your brain, heart, eyes, skin and entire body!

Astaxanthin protects the skin against the damage associated with sun exposure—because of its potent antioxidant properties, it neutralizes the free radicals produced by the sun’s rays and prevents the typical damage caused by sunburn.

Astaxanthin has an impressive ability to help skin manage photodamage by promoting new skin cells, elastin, and collagen production.But it doesn’t replace topical sunscreen—you still need to use that every two to three hours.

Taking astaxanthin daily can:

• Improve skin elasticity

• Reduce age spots and wrinkles

• Protect cells against UVA-induced skin damage

• Work as an internal sunscreen

It’s a great supplement to take in the summer, but the health benefits are good year-round!

Like this if you love the sun and your skin!
