Health shakes are an easy way to lose weight and get the proper nutrients. Now research shows that Whey Protein actually doubles your weightloss! Whey protein is very filling to knock out the hunger pains and boosts energy levels.
Whey is a milk protein that is packed with amino acids. Amino acids build and even repair muscles and body tissue. I love Whey because it comes in great tasting flavors and it is highly blendable making a creamy shake. Adding Chia seeds to your whey protein shakes gives you even more of a power punch.
My simple shake mix:
Yogurt (any flavor)
1 scoop of Whey Protein
1/2 cup of milk (fat free, 1% milk, almond, coconut, etc…)
Ice (makes a thicker shake)
You can have up to 4 of these per day.
Bonus- Whey Protein lowers blood pressure! The amino acids and protein reduce inflammation to aid in blood vessel and heart health.

Although it is found in such large quantities, as we age, collagen breaks down and production slows or depletes through other means like sun damage.

Red Yeast Rice is a remarkable compound for the promotion of Healthy Cholesterol Levels.
The compound is extracted from red yeast rice. It is a fermented (by the addition of yeast) food substance. Traditionally it is known for its red-
coloring capabilities in meats. Red yeast rice extracts have been used in prescription drugs like Mevacor.
Whether you are taking a prescription drug for your cholesterol or a natural supplement such as red yeast rice, the 1st approach to getting your numbers down is your diet. Decrease your intake of animal fats and take in more fiber. Sometimes diet just isn’t enough. Your cholesterol may also be a hereditary issue. You may have no choice other than to get supplemental help.
So Why Consider Red Yeast Rice?
Its all natural. It contains natural compounds that inhibit an enzymatic reaction necessary to produce cholesterol in the body, especially in the liver. The liver is the main place in the body that produces cholesterol. 75% of your total cholesterol supply comes from the liver. Red yeast rice contains hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors. It works in the liver to decrease cholesterol production. Red yeast rice also contains unsaturated fatty acids that may help to reduce serum lipids or blood fats that we call triglycerides.
