5 Benefits of Vitamin C for Optimal Health!


Most people know that Vitamin C is important, but still don't make it an essential part of their daily supplement consumption.   Here are 5 reasons why you should make sure this is one supplement that you add to your daily routine.

1.  Helps treat common cold symptoms.  
One of the best tips I ever received regarding Vitamin C came from my nutritionist. My doctor told me that if you feel like you are getting a cold, take 2000 mg of Vitamin C, then take 1000 mg every hour.  A cold should not last more than 24-48 hours. Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine, and can help control allergy symptoms by reducing the histamine levels in the body.

2.  Collagen, is a protein found in the connective tissues of the body, like skin, tendons, muscles, and ligaments, and requires Vitamin C for production.  Vitamin C is extremely helpful in speeding up the healing of wounds from minor cuts to deep wounds, burns and broken bones.


3.  Vitamin C has an excellent antioxidant property, and helps reduce free radicals that may cause heart disease and strokes.  Vitamin C also helps lower cholesterol and improve blood flow which also helps in preventing heart disease.

4.  Vitamin C helps to regulate the sugar levels in people with diabetes.  

5.  Vitamin C can help prevent against the ill effects of stress, by protecting the nervous system and brain. Optimum levels of Vitamin C are required for the synthesis of adrenaline and nor-adrenaline, both of which play a role in the fight or flight mechanism of combating stress.

The daily recommendation of Vitamin C is different for all age groups (Adult men: 90 mg, Adult women: 75 mg, children between 9-13 years: 45 mg). 

There are several sources like oranges, chilly peppers, papaya, strawberries, cauliflower, and pineapple to add Vitamin C to your daily diet.  A medium sized orange contains about 75 mg of vitamin C, with larger oranges containing as much as 100 mg.

For a Vitamin C supplement that provides 24 hour support, protects your stomach by utilizing 3 forms of Vitamin C, and provides the equivalent of 5 cups of orange juice, try C-Lyte today.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Happy 4th of July!  As I was getting ready to celebrate this holiday, this sentence from the Declaration of Independence came to mind.

Read this quote a couple of times.  Really!  Do it!  Let the words sink into your soul.

What stands out to me is that ALL men are created equal, and that right is not given by our president, our representatives or senators, or anyone else in this world.  This right is given to us by our creator!  Do people even understand what that means anymore?

The other sentence that stands out for me that the rights of life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness are rights that I have access to at ALL times.  Think about it. We have the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to PURSUE happiness.  There is no guarantee on happiness, but we do have the freedom to pursue it.

Are you happy?  If not, why?

In the words of Leo Tolstoy, "If you want to be happy, be."

It is only a choice!

Happy 4th of July...enjoy your family, friends, and remember what this holiday stands for!   Men who made a Declaration of Independence for a country....what is yours?

Hydrate for Life!


Drinking plenty of water every day can help keep the doctor away.  Staying hydrated also helps keep you full, energized, and extra focused. To help remind yourself to drink up, fill a gallon jug in the morning, and use it to fill your water glass or water bottle during the day.  This is the easiest way to keep track of your water consumption.  Another reason to stay hydrated:  Drinking plenty of water also helps reduce hangover symptoms (or avoid them completely) and helps keeps colds at bay.  Try adding a slice of lemon or lime for additional health benefits!  My favorite water addition is Amped HYDRATE, a refreshing sports drink enriched with vitamin C, B-complex, and electrolytes that is perfect for any time, any day.  Enjoy!!

Fiber Up! 9 Reasons Why It Is Vital For Your Health


There are plenty of research findings that show how fiber may have health boosting properties.

Here are 9 reasons to include fiber in your daily diet.

1.  Help control blood sugar.  Including soluble fiber may slow the breakdown of carbohydrates, as well as the absorption of sugar in your body.  This may help control blood sugar.

2.  Weight Loss.  Fiber helps you feel fuller longer, which may help with weight loss and weight management.

3.  Heart Health.  Research shows that people eating a high-fiber diet reduce their risk of heart disease by 40 percent.

4.  Stroke Risk.  Research shows that for every 7 grams of fiber you consume, your risk of stroke is reduced by 7 percent.

5.  Skin Health.  Fiber, especially psyllium husk, helps your body eliminate yeast and fungus.  Helping your body eliminate through the intestinal tract, instead of the skin, may help prevent breakouts.

6.  Hemorrhoids.  Fiber may help prevent hemorrhoids.

7.  IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  Adding fiber to your diet may help relieve some of the symptoms of IBS.

8.  Diverticulitis.   A diet high in fiber, especially insoluble fiber, may reduce your risk of diverticulitis by up to 40 percent.

9.  Gallstones and Kidney Stones.  A diet high in fiber, because it helps your body regulate blood sugar, may reduce the risk of gallstones and kidney stones.

The most complete fiber supplement, containing both soluble and insoluble fiber, is FiberPro, which contains five different plant fibers in a flavorless, easily dissoluble powder, as well as prebiotics to help restore the balance of healthy bacteria in your gut. One of my favorite way of incorporating more fiber into my day is with the Fiber Snack bar, which contain 6 grams of fiber and come in 2 flavors, Peanut Chocolate Chew and  Honey Almond Crisp.  Fiber up today...your body will thank you!

3 Stages of Stress: Where Are You?





STRESS.  Most people know that stress is very harmful to our health.  But did you know that stress has 3 stages?

1.  Flight or Fight: the stage of stress that can save your life.  The body immediately transfers large amounts of oxygen and glucose to the brain, muscles, and heart which are the most responsible for the bodies response to stress.

2.  Resistance:  this stage helps the body recover from the heart pounding response to the flight or fight stage.  Cortisol and adrenaline, hormone energy sources,  are made available to the body to help reduce inflammation, and repair cell damage. This stage usually helps us get through most of life's stressful situations.

3.  Exhaustion:  if the body can not control the stress during the resistance stage, the body enters the exhaustion stage.  In our crazy, stressful society, this is where a lot of people continually find themselves.  During this stage, chronic stress can be extremely harmful as the extended exposure to stress keeps the cortisol and adrenaline levels elevated builds to harmful levels in the body. and has harmful effects on muscles, the immune system, the digestive system, and overall metabolism.

Do your body a favor, and combat stress by consuming Ionix Supreme daily.  Ionix Supreme provides protection from the consequences of chronic stress, promotes energy balance and stamina, and supports the immune system.  A shot of Ionix Supreme daily is designed to balance your body by combating the negative effects of physical, environmental, and life stress while energizing cells to support faster recovery.  A shot a day keeps the stress away!
