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.

So many people over look the mighty power of the daily multi-vitamin.
Can you honestly say that your daily diet includes all of the vital nutrients that your body needs?
Most of us are in such a rush to get from point A to point B….we are prone to grab something from the vending machine or drive thru. A good multi-vitamin just helps to fill in the gaps. Your body needs vital nutrients to help with energy, slow aging, and reduce your risk of a range of health problems.
Bonus – Research shows taking in 25 mcg of vitamin K each day helps to reduce the risk of cancer, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Vitamin K reduces inflammation and promotes bone growth.

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.

Looking for ways to de-stress naturally?
Lavender aromatherapy products is just what you may be looking for!
Studies done by Psychiatry Research teams have proven that simply breathing
in the aroma of lavender can decrease levels of stress.
Holding on to stress increases the hormone cortisol which has been linked to belly fat.
Aromatherapy can be added into your daily routine to aid in releasing stress by simply changing your soap .
Bathing with a natural lavender soap will promote alpha waves in your brain that bring on the feeling of peace.
Not so sure about changing up on your soap?
An alternative to the lavender soap would be Lavender Essential oil.
Just smelling the essential oil can work in the same way!

Winter comes with a chill in the air. For some of us it also comes with achy joints. In the past I would grab my normal over the counter pain relievers or sometimes I would have to take prescription pain medication.
That was before I discovered Pine Bark Extract!
Just taking 100 mg of Pine Bark Extract (pycnogenol) instead of prescription relieves my aches and pains. Pine Bark Extract (pycnogenol) is all natural and it works like prescription medicine. It blocks the inflammation, but without the side effects that come with prescribed medications.
The journal Phytotherapy Research reports that arthritis pain
can be cut by 56% while using Pine Bark Extract.

Vitamin K is often overlooked. It really is a very important Vitamin. Vitamin K works in the liver to produce blood-clotting proteins and is vital to bone health.
Vitamin K builds the mesh-like substance (osteocalcin) in your bones. Osteocalcin is what calcium molecules stick to and keeps bones strong and healthy. Vitamin K can increase bone mineral density by 10%. Add all of this together and you can reduce your chances of bone fractures by up to 81%.
A good dose to take would be 200 mcg. That is what UCLA researches tested.

Red, black and green tea (Photo credit: mat.teo)
Who knew that a yummy beverage could also be good for achy joints!
Purdue University researchers just released new information that Green Tea does just that.
Green Tea is packed with natural anti-inflammatories. Drinking 3 cups a day with a twist of lemon
(the lemon stops your digestive tract from breaking down the anti-inflammatory properties)
can help to knock out those achy joints by up to 53%.
Just don’t forget the lemon!

Your heart works 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. It takes a lot of energy for your heart to perform. Your body naturally produces this energy, but your production levels decrease with age. Also, if you take a prescription for cholesterol that too can deplete your body’s natural production of CoQ10.
CoQ10 is a super charged antioxidant and vitamin like substance that is vital to the body’s energy production. Your heart needs a steady supply of CoQ10 to perform at it’s best.
Bonus: CoQ10 promotes healthy blood pressure levels!
Not all CoQ10 is created equally…
A low quality CoQ10 doesn’t dissolve in water making it harder for your body to dissolve. If it doesn’t dissolve, then it doesn’t do its job. When shopping for this supplement….look for a higher quality to insure you are actually getting what you are paying for!
