It’s A Wrap! Body Wrapping And Obesity — The Odd Couple

Many spas and salons offer a process called “body wrapping.” This procedure claims to remove inches from the waist, thighs, hips or other parts of the body.

The process includes the use of special wraps or clothing and can sometimes be used with special lotions or creams that are applied to the skin.

Customers are usually told that they can lose “inches” as opposed to pounds and that fat will melt away bringing about a loss of inches in about an hour. One of the claims is that wrapping will work because cellulite is “water logged fatty tissue.”

What overweight person wouldn’t love to find a product that will render them slim and trim while they sleep?  Unfortunately, many people think that bodArdyss Body Wrap Cellulite  y wrapping is a relatively “new” procedure and jump on the bandwagon quickly.

The truth is that the body wrapping craze has been around for a very long time.

Over two decades ago, government “watchdogs” reported:  “Who can blame the fretfully flabby for being lured by the promise               $65.00                of losing inches without doing anything more strenuous than popping a pill or wrapping up the offending flesh? Who can resist ads for body wraps that promise ‘to burn away fat even while you sleep,’ to ‘lose 4-6 inches the first day?”

What do these wraps consist of?

Some are plastic or rubber garments worn around the waist, some cover the waist, hips and thighs, and others cover nearly the entire body.  Some are to be worn while carrying out routine activities, others while exercising, and some while sleeping. One is inflated with air from a vacuum cleaner. Another uses an electric hair dryer to blow in warm air. Some are used after a cream, gel or lotion is applied or after the wrap is soaked in a solution.

The garments and wraps, with or without lotions and creams, say that they reduce body dimensions by removing fluids. Most medical experts agree that such treatment will cause a loss of inches and perhaps pounds due to profuse perspiration. For most, the reductions are temporary. The fluid is soon replaced by drinking or eating.   Ardyss Body Wrap Stages Pictures -- 7.04.13

Remember, rapid and excessive fluid loss is potentially dangerous because it can bring on severe dehydration and can upset the balance of important electrolytes in the body. Reputable spas are aware of any potential hazards such as this, so do your homework and select a spa with a good reputation.

Some people have tried using “plastic wrap” as body wrap material. In fact, that was a very popular practice several decades ago.

Body wrapping has evolved since those days, becoming much more sophisticated. Prices for a body wrap range anywhere from $40 an hour up to as much as several thousand dollars at some of the upscale spas.  Some advertising claims that body wrapping will eliminate, or at the least reduce, cellulite but we’ll leave that up to you to determine.

What we can tell you is that visiting a spa or salon for body wrapping may be a wonderfully rejuvenating experience, leaving you rested, relaxed and refreshed.  And who wouldn’t like to have a few hours being pampered and fussed over in a relaxing environment regardless if it helps the cellulite problem.

Some spas advertise herbal and other natural wraps. In fact, the methods and products applied are widely varied. Let’s explore some of the components that make up a good “wrap” experience.

Herbal Wraps.

Some of the higher end spas go so far as to grow their own “herbs” for use in their body wraps, but that isn’t necessary for a good body wrap experience. Herbs can be fresh, or dried and usually organically grown is best.

Each herb has a specific effect. Some increase circulation, another may soothe the skin and so on.  The herbs are steeped in very hot water (almost boiling) then special muslin sheets are soaked in the solution. It is these herb-infused sheets along with other insulating layers that wrap around the body.

How the treatments work is interesting. The goal is to create a condition not unlike your body when you have a fever. We all know that when we have a fever, our body eliminates toxins by sweating.  It’s the same principle with body wraps. The results vary. Some people report a very intense detoxification while for others it might be mild.

Methods of application and content vary as well. Seaweed, mud and salt are popular body wraps. Most often, the subject is wrapped from neck to toe with the arms set close to the sides of the body. This can be uncomfortable for someone who suffers from claustrophobia.

The easiest correction for this is to keep the arms free from the wrap. Most people who are claustrophobic find the works and that all they need to be able to feel free to remove themselves if they choose.     Ardyss Body Wrap Stages With Body Magic Pictures -- 7.04.13

Whatever type of body wrap you select make certain that you feel comfortable with the spa and that a technician is always close at hand.

Care should be taken when selecting a salon or spa.

Some things to consider:

  • How long have they been offering body wraps?
  • Do they have a licensed clinician whose sole purpose is massage and/or body wraps?
  • Where do their herbs and other contents come from?
  • Do they offer any special pricing for new clients?
  • Will they allow a tour of their facilities prior to purchase?
  • Have they had any unresolved complaints reported by the Better Business Bureau?
  • Do they have any package pricing for multiple visits?

Watch your local publications for coupon offers. This can be a good way to try out a service at a bargain.

Ask your friends if they have had a body wrapping experience and whether they enjoyed it and what kind of results did they experience. You may even want to check for “two for one” specials and try it out with a friend!

Whether the experience reduces your cellulite or not, if you follow the guidelines you are in for a pleasant experience. Who knows, you might just like it enough to include it in your long term personal care budget!

May I suggest some products that I have personally used when having a body wrap.  I have enjoyed these ‘pleasant experiences’ when having a body wrap – and I have also used my Ardyss products and enjoyed the body wraps in the comfort of my home.

If you would like to experience a body wrap at home, may I suggest you order these all natural products listed below.  Please watch our training video where our then ‘mother to be’ Chyna, ‘shares and shows’ you how to have what we call ‘Wrap & Go’.

Delightful Ways to Reduce Cholesterol Without Drugs

Those of us with unfavorable cholesterol scores are constantly bombarded with the importance of controlling LDL-HDL levels. Unfortunately, many of the drugs prescribed for cholesterol reduction can have serious side effects such as fatigue, muscle cramps, brain fog, etc. Trying a natural adjustment to your diet may be a better and less risky way to tame the cholesterol beast.

With all the news and warnings about the dangers of high cholesterol, many people view cholesterol as a “bad” substance that should be eliminated completely from our lives. In truth, cholesterol serves some important functions in the body. In order to understand how cholesterol affects the body, one must first understand what cholesterol is.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is attached to the fats in our bloodstream and is present in all of the cells of the body. Cholesterol comes from food that we eat, as well as being manufactured directly by the liver. Cholesterol is an important regulator in the bloodstream, as it helps to regulate the formation of many cells as well as hormones. However, to have too high or too low of a cholesterol count in the blood can be a very dangerous factor, often leading to a heart attack or a stroke. Although cholesterol is prevalent in the blood stream, it cannot dissipate in the blood. The cholesterol maneuvers throughout the body attached to lipids (fats).

Over time, cholesterol builds up on the artery walls and this condition is known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis was thought to be an affliction of the elderly until the 1950′s when American pathologists were sent to Korea by the Pentagon to study the bodies of servicemen who died during the conflict. They autopsied around 2000 soldiers and found that approximately 75% had waxy, yellow deposits on the walls of their arteries; a shocking statistic considering the average age of the soldiers was 21. Their findings astonished the scientific community as it highlighted the onset of heart disease in the very young.

There are two main types of cholesterol. The first type is called LDL cholesterol, and the other is HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol, otherwise known as low-density lipoprotein, is considered the “dangerous” cholesterol. LDL cholesterol can build up on the artery walls. Over time this plaque build-up blocks blood flow, reducing circulation and causing stress and damage to the heart. This raises blood pressure, and eventually leads to heart disease or a heart attack. Individuals that have higher levels of LDL run a much higher risk of having heart disease. Although LDL is affected by genetics, there are several precautions that individuals can take towards keeping safe LDL levels.

The other form of cholesterol is HDL, or high-density lipoprotein. HDL is considered the “good” cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is important for the body to have as this type of cholesterol helps filter out LDL cholesterol from the lining of the arteries, as well as transporting fat in the bloodstream (triglycerides) to the liver so that it can be excreted from the body. It is believed that even having high levels of HDL is safe, as it can help protect one’s heart from a heart attack or stroke. Low counts of HDL could potentially lead to a heart attack and stroke, however this is rare for people eating a western-style diet, which is typically high in both forms of cholesterol.

Most of the cholesterol in our bodies comes from the foods we eat. Foods high in fats, particularly saturated and trans fats, contribute to high levels of LDL cholesterol. Meat and dairy products are the main sources of LDL cholesterol, while leafy vegetables, fruits, and nuts are more nutritious alternatives that have higher levels of HDL cholesterol. While genetics does play a role in cholesterol levels, a change in diet is the most effective way to lower dangerous cholesterol levels, and reduce your risk of heart disease and associated health problems.

Certain natural substances found in Ardyss, including plant sterols, fish oils, and policosanol have been shown in numerous clinical studies to be highly effective in promoting healthy cholesterol levels, particularly when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. If you are concerned about your cholesterol levels, now is the time to make a change, and Vasacor can help.

There are numerous medications on the market today, but for many individuals it is possible to lower cholesterol naturally rather than with drugs. Currently more than 60% of adults over the age of 45 suffer some form of heart or blood related issues, including high cholesterol. To ensure this does not lead to a shorter life or a poorer quality of life, the following steps can be taken:

Regular Exercise

The use of regular exercise to lower cholesterol naturally has been supported for decades as an effective alternative to pharmaceuticals. Something as simple as walking 30 minutes a night can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in the adult body while 30 minutes of full aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week is ideal for the optimum reduction in LDL and HDL levels.

Low Fat Diet

In conjunction with regular exercise, a low fat diet that contains less than 30% fat with as close to zero saturated fats as possible can help lower cholesterol naturally. Reading labels to ensure you receive the most accurate information as well is recommended as many labels are intentionally misleading. Anything pre-packaged, frozen foods, non-skim dairy products, and red meats, along with any high fat snacks or junk foods are all considered bad additions to a diet designed to reduce cholesterol.

Adding the Right Foods

Foods that are high in fiber, contain lots of garlic, fish oil, or soy, or that are rich in whole grains are considered highly effective in both stopping the effects of high cholesterol and reducing your existing levels. Fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, and whole grains are all good sources of these foods and should be integrated into a lower cholesterol diet as much as possible.

What foods specifically lower cholesterol?  So glad you asked!

Foods that Lower LDL Cholesterol

There are a number of foods which are believed to significantly lower LDL cholesterol. Fiber-rich foods are said to be particularly beneficial and will not only lower ‘bad’ cholesterol, but also help the bowel to function properly, lowering the risk of colon and bowel cancer. There are many other foods that can help the body fight back against these dangerous deposits.

Fiber-rich foods, particularly oat bran, barley and wheat bran. They can be eaten as a cereal for breakfast and sprinkled onto other foods. Pearl barley can be added to soups. Apples and pears also have considerable amounts of soluble fiber and should be enjoyed on a daily basis.

Beans and pulses are high in fiber and low-fat. They also contain lecithin, a nutrient that lowers cholesterol. Try to incorporate kidney, fava, borlotti and other dried whole-foods into your diet; there are many different types of lentils and pulses that are delicious in soups and stews.

Avocado contains prolific amounts of monounsaturated fat, which helps to reduce LDL cholesterol and has many other health benefits including anti-cancer properties.

Raw carrots are rich in a fiber called pectin that is renowned for minimizing cholesterol. There are a number of fruits that also contain pectin, including; apples, citrus fruits, strawberries, raspberries and other red or black berries.

Shitake mushrooms are widely used by the Japanese and include a compound called lentinan, which not only lowers cholesterol, but is also thought to be anti-cancerous and may help to boost the immune system.

Garlic is a super food and is well known for its blood-thinning properties. It also contains a substance allicin which is thought to prevent the body retaining LDL cholesterol and research has shown that the equivalent of one clove per day can lessen ‘bad’ cholesterol by 10-15% in the majority of people.

Root ginger has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries and has numerous health benefits. It can be added to stir-fry’s (using healthy sesame oil) and other vegetable dishes.

Nuts are naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids and are known to significantly reduce blood cholesterol; walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and almonds are especially beneficial.

Sesame seeds are rich in phytosterols. These compounds are said to substantially lessen LDL cholesterol. Other foods containing phytosterols include; celery, lettuce, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes, ginger, squash and strawberries.

Safflower, canola, soybean, and olive oil are monounsaturated and are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Research indicates that they can decrease atherosclerotic plaque by up to 15% when eaten regularly.

Salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel contain considerable amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which have many health benefits and are essential for brain and eye function.

Prunes are a wonderful source of antioxidants and fiber, which is known to reduce LDL cholesterol.

Alfalfa sprouts contain a substance called saponin, which is thought to obstruct and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries.

If you have high cholesterol or a family tendency towards atherosclerosis it is best to avoid processed and prepared foods, fried food, food containing animal fats or animal products, high-fat dairy products and food containing either saturated fat or trans fats. Research has revealed the key to lowering LDL cholesterol is a healthy, balanced diet that incorporates plenty of soluble fiber and at least five portions of fruit or vegetables a day. This combined with regular cardiovascular exercise should help keep the heart healthy and provide numerous other health benefits as well.

Supplements

Supplements can also be added to help lower cholesterol naturally. To boost fiber and fatty acid intake, supplements such as Omega-3 in flax seed oil or fish oil along with garlic extracts have been shown to significantly lower cholesterol naturally and without any side effects. Found over the counter in any drug store or natural health store, these supplements are easy to take or mix in with food for significant benefits to a low cholesterol diet.

May I suggest some supplemental all-natural products which help lower cholesterol – Omega 369 and Fiber Balance.

Omega 369 is an ideal formula of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 essential fatty acids (EFAs), the “good fats” that help support brain and heart, and maintain good health; EFAs contribute to processing of the cell membranes which help your cardiovascular system in balance.

A Vitamin Alert: Just How B6 Is Important Among the B Vitamins?

When most people hear the word “anemia,” they immediately think of iron. But a shortage of Vitamin B6 can also cause a type of anemia because this vitamin is vital to the healthy generation of hemoglobin in the blood of a normal, healthy person.

When most people hear the word “anemia,” they immediately think of iron. But a shortage of Vitamin B6 can also cause a type of anemia because this vitamin is vital to the healthy generation of hemoglobin in the blood of a normal, healthy person. You may also associate Vitamin B6 with sugar diabetes, and that’s because one of the important functions of this vitamin is to regulate the amount of sugar in the blood.

Vitamin B6 is also known as pyridoxine. You may not have heard of many people who were found to have a serious Vitamin B6 deficiency, and there’s a good reason for that. B6 is so readily available in so many foods that it’s a fairly simple matter to get your daily recommended allowances of this vitamin.

A Brief History of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine

In the 1930’s Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine was discovered during nutrition studies on rats.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is a water-soluble compound, which in 1934 Paul Gyorgy, a Hungarian physician, discovered was able to cure a skin disease on rats.  In 1945, Snell showed two forms of Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxal and Pyridozamine.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine was named to indicate Vitamin B6’s structural homology to Pyridine.

Basic Explanation Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine

Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine, Pyridoxal and Pyridozamine are all precursors of pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP).  PLP plays a role as a cofactor of many essential enzymes in the human body.  Those enzymes which are dependent on PLP will use a wide variety of chemical reactions – most of which involve amino acids.  These reactions include those of amino acid metabolism, transamination, deamination and decarboxylation.  PLP is a necessary part of the enzymatic reaction which governs the release of glucoxe and glycogen.

Those enzymes which are dependent on PLP will use a wide variety of chemical reactions—most of which involve amino acids. These reactions include those of amino acid metabolism, transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation. PLP is a necessary part of the enzymatic reaction which governs the release of glucose and glycogen.

Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is also involved in macronutrient metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, histamine synthesis, hemoglobin synthesis  and gene and function expression.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine metabolism takes place in the liver.

Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism.  Red blood cells need Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine in order to metabolize.  The immune systems and nervous systems also depend on Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine for proper functionality.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is also needed for the conversion of Tryptophan to Niacin.

The oxygen in the red blood cells is carried to tissues by Hemoglobin.  The body cannot make Hemoglobin without Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine.  Not only does the body need Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine to make Hemoglobin, but Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine will help Hemoglobin to carry more oxygen.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is important to the immune system because it is involved in protein metabolism and cellular growth.  The health of the immune system is based on the health of white blood cells, the body way of naturally fighting off viruses and infections.  Having the proper amount of vitamins and minerals in the body is very important for the proper growth of white blood cells.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is an important part to the construction of white blood cells.

The maintenance of blood glucose is also tied to Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine helps keep blood glucose within a normal healthy range.  When the body senses a drop in calorie intake, Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine will be used to help convert stored carbohydrates and other stored nutrients into glucose to maintain a normal blood sugar level.

Sources Of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine

Some of the common sources of B6 include:  poultry, fish, beans, and some fruits and vegetables. Some more specific high Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine food items include: baked potato with skin, ready-to-eat cereal which is 100% fortified, banana raw, chicken breast — meat only, barbanzo beans, oatmeal, pork loin — lean only, rainbow trout, sunflower seeds, spinach, tomato juice, avocado, sockeye salmon, tuna — canned in water, peanut butter, walnuts, wheat bran —unprocessed, soy beans, and lima beans.

Naturally, cereals that are fortified with vitamins are excellent sources and many provide 100 percent of the body’s need for cereal.

Three raw bananas also provide a full day’s supply of the necessary Vitamin B6. A medium baked potato (including the potato skin) provides about one-third of the daily requirement. Evaluating the foods rich in this vitamin reveals that many people are already meeting the daily requirements for B6.

Why Is It Important To Have A Sufficient Amount Of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine?

There are many reasons why Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is important to the human body.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is one of the essential nutrients for human health.  Not having enough Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine will not only lead to a lack of medical health benefits, but it will also lead to many health problems associated with Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine deficiency.

For those people who are looking to lose weight it is very important to have the proper level of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine in one’s diet.  There have been many studies linked to the pivotal relationship between a person’s blood sugar level and a person’s metabolism.  When the body senses it doesn’t have enough food it will slow down its metabolism, and make it more difficult to lose weight.  The body senses this lack of food based on its blood sugar level.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is one of the key elements which help to regulate the blood sugar in the body.  Not having enough Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine will lead to a lowering of the body’s blood sugar level, and that will lead to a lowering of a person’s metabolism.  Taking large amounts of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine will not help a person to raise their metabolism, however, not having enough will lead to serious problems for anyone who is looking to drop extra weight.

So what are the dangers of having too little Vitamin B6 in your daily diet? Recent studies suggest that a lack of this vitamin is a factor for determining the risk of stroke and some types of heart disease. That means that people with deficiencies are more likely to suffer from these health issues than their counterparts who are getting sufficient amounts of Vitamin B6.

Depression is another problem potentially impacted by a Vitamin B6 deficiency. Though there may be some difference of opinion as to the role and the importance of B6 and depression, there appears to be a link that can’t be denied. In fact, depression is listed by some as one of the symptoms of insufficient Vitamin B6 in the diet.

There are some risks of taking too much B6. Nerves – especially in the outer extremities – are sometimes damaged by overdosing the body on vitamin B6. In the majority of cases, simply eliminating any vitamin supplements appears to eliminate the nerve problems as well. It’s unlikely that a normal person can take in enough Vitamin B6 from a normal diet to cause toxicity at this level, and more likely that these severe effects of too much B6 are caused by taking too many vitamin supplements containing B6.

How To Get Enough Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine In Your Diet

It is recommended that a person eat a diet rich in green vegetables, fruits and lean meats.  A diet which is well balanced should provide a person with the proper amount of vitamins and nutrients, including Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine.  Yet, there are very few people who have the time to eat a recommended daily diet.  Instead many people are eating too many processed food which are lacking in essential vitamins and minerals.

Supplementing a diet with a good daily multivitamin is an excellent way to ensure the proper amount of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine in any diet.  Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine is water-soluble which means it is difficult for the human body to store.  The body must replenish its supply of Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine daily.

But I have the answer to how to daily receive enough Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine in your diet!

Antioxidants are being recognized by the medical profession as one of the best supplements to help the body fight off the ravages of free radical damage. Though most fresh fruit and vegetables contain antioxidants, some are far superior then others, and fruits from the rainforest seem especially blessed. The acai berry for example is packed so full of antioxidants it is rightly called a “superfood”!

Read on…

The prefix ‘anti’ means against, in opposition to, or corrective in nature. In this case, the ‘anti’ in antioxidant describes the effect these chemicals have against oxidants.

Oxidants, usually referred to as ‘free radicals’ are produced as a natural by-product of the millions of biochemical processes undertaken by the body every minute. The same life-giving oxygen that supports all the functions of the body creates these harmful by-products which cause cell damage, usually to DNA, fats and proteins.

Free radicals also enter the body through external influences such as exposure to the sun, pesticides and other kinds of environmental pollution. In addition, their levels are increased by mental and physical stress, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, unhealthy foods, and cigarette smoke.

In much the same way as oxidation causes rust on cars, oxidation inside the body causes a breakdown of cells. If the amount of free radical oxidation in the body is allowed to rise to an unhealthy level, it can result in extensive damage to cellular components and can accelerate the ageing process.

More importantly, it may contribute to a wide range of degenerative illnesses and reduce the body’s ability to deal with other problems, including cardiovascular malfunction, eye disease, and cancer.

Additionally, it may result in a compromised immune system, leading to immunological disorders and a lessening of the body’s ability to heal wounds and overcome infections. Some studies indicate possible links to arthritis and similar chronic conditions.

Antioxidants counter these effects by binding with free radicals before they can cause damage. They then convert them into non-damaging biochemical substances, assisting enormously with the reparation of cellular damage.

Certain antioxidant enzymes are produced within the body. The most well known of these are catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione:

Catalase coverts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Superoxide dismutase breaks antioxidants down into hydrogen peroxide.

Glutathione is a detoxifying agent, changing the form of toxins so that they are easily eliminated by the body.

Other antioxidants can be consumed through the diet. Some of the better known include the antioxidant vitamins beta-carotene, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E.

Minerals such as selenium, zinc, glutathione and co-enzyme Q10 may also have antioxidant properties, and so may flavonoids such as cranberry, some amino acids, plus organic extracts from milk thistle and the tree known as ginkgo biloba.

A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables provides a large supply of these anti-oxidants, to help eliminate damaging free radicals. The highest concentrations are found in fruits and leafy green vegetables, such as carrots, orange and red peppers, spinach and tomatoes.

Cooking can destroy some antioxidants and interfere with the body’s ability to absorb them, so eating raw vegetables and fruit, and including sprouts in the diet can help. Steaming vegetables as opposed to frying, microwaving or boiling is also a good idea.

Antioxidants are best taken in combination, since single antioxidants, such as vitamin E, need other vitamins in order to work as an effective antioxidant. Food and natural supplements may therefore provide the most bio-available source of antioxidants. Natural products from the rain forests of the world are some of the best sources of natural antioxidants ever found. Fruits like the acai berry are amazing the health world because of the wide range and high number of antioxidants they contain, making them a perfect source of antioxidants. It’s no wonder that the acai berry has been dubbed one of the top 10 “superfoods” in the world.

The juices are fortified with botanical extracts that help maintain healthy cellular and physical functions. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out 10 people die from dietary deficiencies. When the body is completely clean, the result is the protective organs functioning properly helping to eliminate toxins that aren’t healthy. Regardless of the ailment Ardyss International has over 24 nutritional products for all sorts of conditions.

Pomegranate

This is one of the most researched fruits in modern nutrition.   Pomegranates are very high in the disease-fighting antioxidants, plus they contain ellagic acid, which the American Cancer Society states has been found to promote cell death of cancer cells(1). Pomegranates also contain several  Pomegranates components that support heart health.

Pomegranate (250mg)-The Health Benefits of Pomegranate are Substantiated by Studies that Show it Combats Heart Disease, Premature Aging, Alzheimer’s, and some Cancers 

Pomegranates which are now commonly grown in California were never native to the Americas. They have been revered in Asia and the Middle East for millennia, spiritual and many other health benefits.

Only recently has modern science discovered the importance of this anti-oxidant, rich gift from nature.

The antioxidant properties in pomegranate help to guard against the chemical and environmental substances that can cause premature aging, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other diseases or conditions.

It has been used around the world as a way to make your skin clear and glowing. It has been used in folk medicine to treat inflammation, sore throats, and rheumatism.

The Health benefits of pomegranate are substantiated by studies that show a positive effect on arteriosclerosis and cholesterol levels.

Pomegranates contain flavonoids, polyphenols and antioxidants that can protect the body from heart disease and stroke by helping to control not only cholesterol levels but also blood pressure and deposits of plaque in the arteries.

Other benefits of pomegranate include anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Pomegranates also contain “phyto-estrogens”, plant hormones that have health benefits similar to soy.  Because of this, pomegranate is gaining popularity for treating menopausal symptoms due to the increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease and strokes from artificial hormone replacement therapy. According to one study pomegranate extract improves the menopausal   symptoms of both depression and bone loss.

Recent research headed by Professor Michael Aviram, an internationally recognized authority on the effect of food on heart disease, proved the beneficial effects of red wine on cholesterol oxidation in humans.

Findings from their research conducted over a three year period, Professor Aviram and his research group showed that pomegranate could significantly lower the systolic blood pressure of hypertensive patients in just two weeks.

The Aviram research group concluded that pomegranate can offer a wide protection against cardiovascular diseases and may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of various types of cancer such as breast cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer.

What You can Gain from the Amazing Benefits of Pomegranates

  •   Support healthy blood pressure
  •   Protect against cardiovascular diseases
  •   Possess strong anti fungal, anti bacterial properties
  •   Guard against Alzheimer’s
  •   Properties that combat pre-mature aging
  •   Support healthy skin and complexion
  •   Lower LDL Cholesterol
  •   May help prevent breast & prostate cancer

Emerging scientific evidence continues to confirm the health benefits of the many nutrients found in pomegranate which accounts for its broad popularity in the last 2 years. Pomegranate is now recommended by many medical professionals to be used as a daily supplement to support good health and protect you from many of today’s health concerns and challenges.

Mangosteen

Research indicates that the Xanthones found in Mangosteen help to strengthen the immune system, maintain intestinal health and fight the damaging effects of free radicals.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana 250mg)- is Rich in Xanthones which Protect Your Body Mangosteen Fruit from the Cell-Damaging effects of Free Radicals 

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit Native to Southeast Asia. It is rich in vitamins C, B1, B2 B6 and contains vital minerals including potassium, iron and calcium. Among the numerous scientific studies on the potential benefits of Mangosteen, the vast majority concern potent antioxidant compounds called xanthones found in the pericarp (skin). There are 200 known xanthones – 40 of which can be found in the pericarp of mangosteen.

Xanthones work to protect your body from the cell-damaging effects of free radicals. Free radical damage is a major cause of disease and what we call aging may really be accumulated damage of free radicals over time.  According to professional journals such as Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology, and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, these Xanthones have a remarkable effect on cardiovascular health; are naturally antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory; and are amongst the most powerful antioxidants found in nature.

Things such as stress, smoking, and exposure to pollutants can increase the production of free radicals in our body causing long-lasting effects. Antioxidants work to stop free radical damage. They should always be a part of your daily diet or supplement program. Antioxidants are also believed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties and may promote   immune, cholesterol, cardiovascular and joint health as well.

Here’s how the Powerful Antioxidants found in Mangosteen may Support Your Health

  •   Protect cellular health from stress and pollutants
  •   Strengthen your body’s ability to fight free radical damage and stress
  •   Provide your body with stable energy and stamina
  •   Support your body’s immune system
  •   Promote joint flexibility and pain free movement
  •   Provide positive mental support and much more

There is no other food source that can equal the quantity of beneficial phytonutrients found in mangosteen fruit. Benefits such as these provide the basis for mangosteen’s incredible healing reputation.

Acid Vs Alkaline Diet — Creating A ‘Disease-Free’ Body & Lifestyle

In this article, I will answer the question of “acid vs. alkaline diet; which is the best?”

Well, ok, it’s quite obvious from where I’m sitting; I mean who wants to say their body is mostly acid? But, what are the benefits of having an alkaline diet, over an acid diet?  Well, let’s earnestly and sincerely talk about it. This article will offer real solutions as well as many invaluable suggestions – all pointing you towards a healthier lifestyle! Our body’s internal system needs a pH of just above 7.0; Our immunologic, enzymatic and repair mechanisms all function at their best in this alkaline range. If our body becomes over acidic, i.e. under a pH of 7, you may start to experience a combination of these symptoms:        

                                     Low Energy, Fatigue, Nasal Congestion, Hives, Muscle Pain, Weak Nails, Dry Skin, Dry Hair, Frequent Colds, Flu and Infection, Headaches

If you have these symptoms and eat foods which create acid in the body, you may need to balance it with an alkaline diet. 

We do strongly suggest you that you explore all natural avenues to achieve a healthy ph level. Below is a website  we suggest you visit and read about these products and also read the many testimonies given by a medical doctor and others who have been challenged with cancer, diabetes, and much, much more!                                                                      

                                                 http://www.TheCompleteFundraiser

What foods cause acid in the body?

There is a whole list of foods that cause the body to be over-acidic: dairy and dairy substitutes, animal meat, most grains, chickpeas, condiments, aspartame, prunes, chocolate, peanuts, alcohol and quite a few other types of foods. To balance your pH, the remedy is simple and logical; eat more alkaline causing foods.  To name but a few of these foods, there is; watermelon, lime, mango, most vegetables, vegetable juices, almonds, sprouts, avocados and green tea. When you’re body becomes more alkaline, the changes that will take place are truly amazing! It will seem magical, but it’s all perfectly normal. You will feel how we all have the right to feel, we just don’t know it.

Benefits Include:                                                                                        

Rapid Weight Loss     —     Increased Energy   —     The Need For Less Sleep —    Improved Skin And Hair Condition

Better Mental Attitude — Are these benefits worth pursuing? I think so, and you are crazy if you don’t agree with me! Fortunately, it is not hard to slowly alkalise your body. Take it one day at a time, add more and more green food to your diet, reduce the number of cups of coffee you have every day and you’ll soon reap the benefits.

The main focus of this article is really not to help you lose weight. Trying out the latest diet is practically an American pastime. The more health benefits the diet supposedly provides, the better. We don’t just want to lose weight; we want to cure arthritis, diabetes, and cancer, and slow the aging process, too.

Some web sites touting the alkaline diet claim it does all these things and more. In an article about an Alkaline Diet by Sonya Collins of WebMD Feature, and reviewed by Louise Chang, MD, some excerpts from that article are as follows: First, lets again review some background information. Our pH is the measure of exactly how acidic or alkaline we are. A pH of 0 is completely acidic, and a pH of 14 completely alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral.

You don’t just have one pH level. For example, the stomach has a pH ranging from 1.35-3.5. It must be acidic to aid in digestion. However, blood must always be slightly alkaline, with a pH of 7.35 to 7.45.

The theory of the alkaline diet is that eating certain foods can help maintain the body’s ideal pH balance to improve overall health. But the body maintains its pH balance regardless of diet. For instance, your diet may affect the pH level of your urine. But what you eat does not determine your blood’s pH level.

What’s in the Alkaline Diet                                                                            

The alkaline diet is mostly vegetarian. In addition to fresh vegetables and some fresh fruits, alkaline-promoting foods include soy products and some nuts, grains, and legumes. Web sites promoting the alkaline diet discourage eating acid-promoting foods, which include meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, processed foods, white sugar, white flour, and caffeine. The alkaline diet is basically healthy, says Marjorie Nolan, RD, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman.  “It’s a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of water, avoiding processed foods, coffee, and alcohol, which are all recommendations for a generally healthy diet anyway,” Nolan says. “But our body regulates our pH between 7.35 and 7.45 no matter how we eat.”

Potential Benefits

Diets that include a lot of animal protein can lower urine pH and raise the risk for kidney stones. So eating a diet rich in vegetables, as with an alkaline diet, can raise urine pH and lower the risk for kidney stones, says John Asplin, MD, a kidney specialist who is a fellow of the American Society of Nephrology. Researchers have speculated that an alkaline diet might slow bone loss and muscle waste, increase growth hormone, make certain chronic diseases less likely, and ease low back pain. However, that hasn’t been proven. There is also no concrete evidence that an alkaline or vegetarian diet can prevent cancer.

Again, we make no medical claims, but we do refer to documented, verified testimonies as listed on Amazon — reflect that all natural remedies DO WORK.  Below is a website  we suggest you visit and read about these products and also read the many testimonies given by a medical doctor and others who have been challenged with cancer, diabetes, and much, much more!                                                                             http://www.TheCompleteFundraiser

Some studies have shown that vegetarians have lower rates of cancer, particularly colon cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. But vegetarians often have other healthy habits, such as exercise and abstaining from drinking and smoking, so it is difficult to determine the effects of diet alone. “Clinical studies have proved without a doubt that people who eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and hydrate properly do have lower rates of cancer and other diseases,” Nolan tells WebMD, “but it probably has nothing to do with blood pH.”

Now let’s discuss ‘the rest of the story’!

Potential Risks

Because there is no evidence that diet can significantly change blood pH, a highly irregular blood pH is a sign of a larger problem — perhaps kidney failure — not a dietary issue. People with kidney disease or medical issues that require monitoring by a doctor, such as severe diabetes, should not attempt this diet without medical supervision.  “If someone’s blood sugar is not being monitored properly — especially if they’re on insulin if they’re type 1 or they’re a severe type 2 diabetic — you’re potentially running the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low after a meal if you don’t know what you’re doing,” Nolan says.

It all comes down to balance, Asplin says. The alkaline diet could potentially over-restrict protein and calcium.  “Vegetarians can be completely healthy in their diets as long as they make sure to get adequate supplies of essential components to a diet. But it is also true that many Americans over-consume protein and get much more than they actually need,” Asplin says.

The Red Flags Of Diet Fraud

Several web sites that appear at the top of “alkaline diet” Internet search results ask users to subscribe with their email address or buy diet products from the site. These are red flags that the promoter of the diet may only be interested in selling something, experts say. Be wary of diet web sites that require a monthly fee for recipes or information. There are numerous complaints online that these subscriptions are easy to start but virtually impossible to stop. William Mundell, MD, vice chair of the department of general internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., also advises people to beware of any diets that:

  • Want you to buy only their product. You should be able to get the foods for any healthy diet on your own at the supermarket.
  • Focus on a narrow spectrum of foods, whether it’s to eliminate all fat, all carbohydrates, or all proteins, or just eat grapefruit.
  • Claim that science has kept something a secret or that a single person has discovered something that nobody else knows about.

I do not offer you a website with a monthly fee for receipes – but I DO again offer you information and  time tested testimonials about products that do help you system become AND Stay Alkaline.
