Foods can impact your overall health and well-being. Most Americans consume a high-acid diet full of fatty meats, chicken, turkey, pasta, cheese and hundreds of processed food items. This diet can ruin your body’s alkaline balance and actually impact cellular health throughout your entire body.
You already know your body needs fuel to work properly—and your heart is no exception. Without proper fuel, your heart can struggle to perform at its peak. But if you think you’re getting enough fuel and nutrients from your diet alone to energize your heart, then you could be at risk. As you get older, illness and stress can affect your heart as significantly as nutrition.
When you can’t properly empty your bowels, you could experience damage to every cell, gland and organ in your body. Even worse, without regular, daily elimination and colon cleansing, your bloodstream and lymph system may become overloaded with toxins, chemicals and rotting waste.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vital nutrient responsible for the energy spark to all 100 trillion of your body’s cells. Without ample amounts of CoQ10 your skin, lungs, liver, heart and brain cells could stop functioning. And if you suffer a 75 percent loss of CoQ10, you could possibly lose your life. Not to mention the startling side effects cholesterol-lowering drugs—or statins—can have on your CoQ10 levels.
Medical research has identified a source of omega-3 fatty acids that’s been shown superior to fish oil supplements in head-to-head testing. It’s found to be healthier, safer, more potent and more absorbable. It’s called krill oil. Krill is a shrimp-like crustacean that abounds in the ocean. In fact, this tiny sea creature is a favorite food of marine life, including Beluga whales. Krill are almost 100 percent free of heavy metals and other toxins.
Recent scientific studies have discovered a simple compound that can help enhance, improve and even lengthen your life—without any negative side effects. It’s called resveratrol and can be found in red wine, grapes, peanuts, seeds, various Chinese and Japanese herbs, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries. Another compound found in the skin of red grapes and berries works synergistically with resveratrol to enhance and boost the health benefits of the cell-protecting nutrient.
Your liver is under attack every day—bombarded by environmental toxins and pollutants in your air, food and water that didn’t even exist a generation ago. Add in prescription drug usage, over-the-counter medications, junk food, harmful food additives and excessive alcohol—and you can end up with a clogged and sluggish liver that may ultimately impact your health. But if you’re like most people, you don’t give your liver much thought.
In today’s fast-paced world where overmedication seems to be the norm, you will find that almost all menopausal women are offered a prescription for synthetic estrogen. But the balancing hormone progesterone is rarely mentioned. And it’s this imbalance between estrogen and progesterone that accounts for the unusual symptoms commonly associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
We take care of our major organs such as the heart and the brain. But what about overall health when it comes to alkaline balance in your cells and tissues? Acid overload, or unbalanced alkalinity, can lead to a weakened heart and decreased circulation… irregular digestion and bowel movements… joint and muscle aches… increased fatigue levels… decreased sexual performance and desire… and accelerated aging.
Did you know that as you age your brain’s blood vessels narrow and reduce your oxygen and nutrient supply? Or that your brain has energy shortages similar to electrical blackouts? And did you know that your brain begins to essentially rust due to free radical damage and toxic sludge you’re exposed to through food, water and air? This is why more than 50 percent of Americans over age 65 will likely experience impaired capacity to even recall simple names and numbers.
Most people don’t know that alkaline balance plays a key role in their continued health. Your allergies, heart problems, digestive issues, weight problems, circulation problems, fatigue and low energy, premature aging, stiff joints, memory loss, constipation, bloating, breathing difficulties and skin problems are most likely associated with acid overload.
If you experience nagging pain in your shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips or knees—you know firsthand how it can ruin your life. Throbbing pain takes the joy out of doing things you love… robs you of a good night’s sleep… and ruins your days with constant discomfort. Nearly 66 million Americans—about one in three adults—suffer from chronic joint pain whether it’s from poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity or just the plain wear and tear of aging.
The reason krill oil is more effective than other marine oils is the amount of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and extremely potent antioxidants. It’s the unique combination of these essential ingredients that provide the greatest health benefits. Harvested only two months out of the year under responsible fishing regulations, the krill are flash-frozen to maintain the potency of their therapeutic oil.
Calcium is one of the most important minerals for your body and your bones. This essential strength-building nutrient helps your muscles contract… maintain proper blood vessel function… secrete hormones and enzymes… and send messages through your central nervous system. But that’s not all that calcium can provide for your continued health.
Resveratrol is a powerful anti-aging nutrient found in red wine, grapes, peanuts, seeds, various Chinese and Japanese herbs, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries. Besides decreasing free radical damage, protecting your cells and helping increase your life span, resveratrol also shows promise for patients with diabetes or other blood sugar-related problems.
