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.

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!

Why Chocolate is Good for Managing Your Weight!


You should never have to fully abstain from the foods that bring you the most joy. The good news: A little chocolate daily can actually support you in achieving your weight-loss goals.
The reason chocolate can be helpful has to do with indulgence, satisfaction, and balanced eating. When individuals take on the approach of complete restriction of certain foods like chocolate, they often end up with just the opposite: temptation, mental exhaustion, self-sabotage, and weight gain (1, 2).
Balanced eating, on the other hand, is not about complete restriction. It allows for controlled, portioned, and moderate indulgences, such as indulging in a small amount of chocolate. Balance is what makes weight loss sustainable. You can maintain balanced eating, believe it or not, by having a little chocolate daily.
Small, regular indulgences keep you enjoying life without guilt and without compromising your weight-loss goals – as long as you also make your daily consumption something to look forward to as a reward for a job well done in healthy eating.
Don’t Deny Yourself
The key is to avoid feelings of guilt, which can have the potential to lead to additional feelings of helplessness or loss of control (3). Instead, research into the psychology of dieting suggests that those who associate sweet indulgences like chocolate with “celebration” have a better time losing weight (3).
Consider adopting a balanced eating plan for weight loss – one that’s higher in protein, higher in nutrients, and lower in unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates – but then leave some room in your plan for chocolate daily. By treating small indulgences of chocolate as a “celebration,” you will be more successful in losing weight because you will maintain a feeling of being in control of your nutrition.
Much like managing money, when you pay close attention to your budget, you can feel comfortable buying something special once in a while. This rule applies to dieting as well, as it is sometimes acceptable to have a little treat after a day of hard work.
Chocolate on Cleanse Days

 If you’re a regular chocoholic seeking out a way to best satisfy your cravings, then look to  IsaDelight® chocolates – now available in Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate with Mint. Each 60-calorie IsaDelight is individually wrapped for convenience and to help with self-control.  Open an IsaDelight and enjoy...knowing you are doing something good for  you!

The Secret to Losing Weight...ONCE AND FOR ALL!


Most people say that losing weight is challenging.  Well...you know, that is what I always thought until I was able to lose those extra pounds by concentrating on alkalizing my body, not just counting calories.  Everybody knows that to lose weight you have to eat fruits and vegetables, however when you concentrate on alkalizing your body, you will finally once and for all achieve the results you have been striving for.  There is an old saying...You are what you eat.  I am happy I finally learned exactly what that meant.  The results? More energy, clearer skin, and finally releasing those pounds I struggled to lose since my children were born, which translates into 20 years of struggle.

Why Alkalize?  The body was designed to function at a pH level of 7.4, and a shift of even a small amount of .2 can cause death, however the body protects itself by borrowing minerals from our vital organs, and bones. These minerals that the body borrows include: calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium are used to help neutralize the extra acid in our system.  

The body produces acid as a by-product of everyday living, and breathing, and when acid producing foods and drinks are consumed the body becomes totally overloaded.  Once the body becomes overloaded with acid, it starts to accumulate the acid in the fatty tissue causing weight gain. This weight gain is one of the ways that the body will protect itself due to this acid buildup. In some extreme cases the acid begins to consume the body itself, and begins burning up the body, therefore making the body too thin. 
  
Most people will say that it can't be that easy, but there are 9 reasons why alkalizing your body is the best, and easiest route to dropping those unhealthy, and unwanted pounds.  Now I am not going to say it is going to be a walk in the park, as you will have to make daily choices on what to eat, however once you see the pounds coming off, you will know you are finally on the right path.

The 9 benefits of alkalizing are:

 1.  Skin looks more youthful, and is more elastic.
 2.  More abundant physical energy.
 3.  Less colds, headaches, flu or viruses.
 4.  Better digestion
 5.  Decrease your arthritis risk
 6.  Decrease Candida (yeast) overgrowth
 7.  Decrease risk of osteoporosis
 8.  Mental acuity and mental alertness are increased
 9.  Natural high
10. Weight loss

To alkalize you must increase the intake of your green plant foods.  These foods include spinach, kale, chard, parsley, watercress, cucumber, and wheatgrass.  The ideal diet will contain 80% alkalizing foods, and 20% acidic foods.

Why green foods are essential to alkalize:

 1.  Sugar content is low
 2.  Nutrient level is high
 3.  Raw greens contain a high level of electrons, a negative alkalizing charge
 4.  High level of magnesium
 5.  High in chlorophyll
 6.  High in fiber

Foods you must avoid at all costs while alkalizing are sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat, caffeine, and red meat.  

Remember that old saying that says you are what you eat?  So follow that age old advice and eat your fruits and vegetables as they will help your body alkalize, finally allow you to drop those unwanted pounds, and decrease your risk of disease.  The best product to add to your diet to help you alkalize is GREENS, which contains powerful detoxifiers including chlorella, spirulina, and wheat grass just to name a few. How does it get any better than this?

 Well...you know, what do you have to lose? Try GREENS today!

Love Your Body!


Many of us look in the mirror everyday and find ways to criticize our bodies. Do you hear yourself saying things like, "my stomach is too big" or "my thighs are too fat"?  I understand that we have been raised in a critical world, surrounded by Sports Illustrated, and Victoria Secret models who are thin, beautiful, and built. But tomorrow morning, and every morning going forward, when you look at your self in the mirror, say to yourself, "I am beautiful", "I am perfect health", and "I am unlimited".  When you tell yourself, and your body, that you love it right now, even though you are not where you want to be, think how much more you will love you will feel towards your body when you have reached your weight loss goal.  And maybe along the way, even if you don't reach the weight loss goal you have set for yourself, you choose to let your body decide what weight is the most healthy for you.  We all need love, and the first place to start is loving yourself, and the good news is that it has been shown that positive expectations are also associated with weight loss.

 One of my favorite quotes by Jim Rohn, "Take care of your body.  It's the only place you have to live".

 The best place to start taking care of yourself is by adding a multi-vitamin everyday. Check out Essentials for Women, fortified with 900mg of five kinds of calcium for strong bones, breast health, healthy hair, skin and nails.  Essentials for Women also contains select herbs and phytonutrients to fill in the nutritional gap to support overall health.

Why Cleanse?



A lot of people know that cleansing is good for you. But cleansing actually provides multiple benefits for your body.  My favorite cleanse, called Cleanse For Life, is a synergistic blend of natural cleansing herbs & antioxidant-rich botanicals to help support detoxification, also contains powerful antioxidants like bilberry, blueberry and raspberry that nourish and protect your body from free radicals. Cleansing also helps eliminate stubborn fat and supports your metabolism while supporting your body’s ability to eliminate toxins and impurities.  Cleanse for Life is a perfect daily addition, and a great foundation to 1-day/week or 2-day biweekly Deep Cleansing programs.

Jump Start Your Weight Loss!


If losing weight while following a system is proving to be a challenge, it may not be that you are doing anything wrong, and for you weight loss is just a matter of time. Remember that the number on the scale is not the only marker of your health. Consider other factors like your energy level and how you feel overall, how well you are able to perform your daily physical activities, and how well you’re sleeping.  These and other health markers are all non-scale measurements that a healthy weight-loss regimen can improve.  Jump start your weight loss program with a cleanse day. Cleanse for Life is a product that helps your body release toxins and impurities, and supports the body's ability to lose pro-inflammatory 'stubborn fat' that can often lead to greater health issues.  Commit to a cleanse for one or two days, and get  your body back on track.

5 Tips To Repair and Reverse Sun Damage

Everybody knows that the sun causes damage to the skin.  Being that I was born and raised in Nevada, and now l live in Arizona, I have definitely been exposed to intense sun my entire life.  I wasn't a sunbather growing up, although I did spend a lot of time in and out of a swimming pool in the summer, however we did a lot a camping, hiking, biking, and boating, and sunscreen wasn't a household product like it is today.  

 I am a fan of exposure to the sun for health reasons.  Everyone should get a bit of unprotected sun exposure everyday, as that is how your body replenishes it's Vitamin D reserves.   My kids, who are both swimmers never wore sunscreen if their swim practice was an hour or less.  However if we were planning on being out longer, on went the sunscreen.

 According to  Deborah S Sarnoff, MD, a NYC dermatologist and educational spokesperson for The Skin Cancer Foundation, "protecting your skin from the sun does not end with the summer months".  So you have to find a great sunscreen for protection all year round, not just those hot summer months.

 If you have exposed your skin to unprotected sun exposure, here are some helpful hints to help repair and reverse sun damage.

 1.  Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher - sunscreens are vital for healthy, young 
     looking skin.  Using sunscreen over an extended period of time, your skin is allowed to 
     repair itself from previous sun damage.

 2.  Exfoliate to remove dead cells, and help skin look smoother.  A buildup of the outer layer
     of skin, called the stratum corneum begins to look uneven, and blotchy.  Exfoliating
     removes that dead layer of cells, and allows newer skin to be revealed.

 3.  Hydrate - exposure during to summer to sun, chlorine, and salt water can dehydrate the 
     skin.  Moisturizers, and water will help replenish those lost fluids.

 4.  Visit a dermatologist - everyone should have regular checkups to make sure there are 
     no skin cancer issues.  Dermatologists can also provide laser treatments to help improve
     issues like blotchiness, discoloration, and wrinkles.

 5.  Anti-aging skincare systems - select a skincare line that targets anti-aging issues.  I 
     recommend looking for a system that incorporates botanical natural ingredients, that are      free of preservatives, artificial colors and artificial fragrances. 

 Well you know...there are a lot of systems available in the market that are loaded with         parabens, and toxic ingredients.  Please do your homework before you invest in a                 skincare system.  

However if you are saying to yourself...Research? Where do i begin?  I can, without any hesitation,  recommend the Rejuvity Skincare Program.  For more information on this incredible line of products that all work synergistically together to repair and reverse sun damage to your skin, and set the foundation for beautiful, hydrated, healthy skin, CLICK here.

6 Everyday Skincare Mistakes

Most of us have been washing our faces, for either a short or long time, and most of us think we have it all figured out.  But I bet you are making at least one of the most common mistakes listed below.

Toxic Ingredients:
There are a lot of ingredients in beauty products, that are not regulated, and we are finally learning just how detrimental they are to our health.  Do you read the labels on any of your products?  Do they contain ingredients like parabens, or silicones?  What about fillers?  You know that old saying, "you get what you pay for"?  Well when talking about beauty products that saying has never been more true! A great resource for rating the ingredients in your beauty products is EWG.org.  This website allows you to research the ingredients and get a rating on how toxic they are, and it also educates you on what all those complicated words are in your products.

Dirty Makeup Brushes:
Your makeup brushes should be washed weekly with a mild sulfate-free cleaner. Your face will love you, and clean brushes will reduce breakouts due to bacteria, dirt, and other contaminates.  NOTE: wet brushes should be laid flat to dry, which will prolong the life of your makeup brushes.

What is your true skin type?
Make sure you are using products for your true skin type.  Is you skin oily, dry, combination? What about acne prone, sensitive or dehydrated?  Know your skin...so you can use the correct products.

Daily Routine:
Are you trying new products from a new product line?  I am a true believer that you should use products from the same line, as they were created to work together. When using new products, allow a month of use to begin to notice changes. Remember you didn't develop those wrinkles in a month, sometimes it takes a bit of time to see the benefits.  If there are products in the set that don't work for you, stop using them for a bit and try them again after a week to see if your skin reacts differently.

Think Warm Water:
Most people think hot water is the best temperature to wash your face.  Hot water is very drying to the skin.  Take a break from washing your face in the hot shower, and use warm/cool water and see if your skin doesn't look and feel better.

Diet and Exercise:
Last, but not least for beautiful healthy skin is diet and exercise.  Getting a good sweat on, eating healthy whole foods, and drinking a gallon of water a day will make good skin look incredible.   Also don't forget about getting a good night's sleep will also help you look, and feel your best!


There are a lot of aspects to great skin.   Start today implementing a couple of the healthy tips above, and add one every 30 days.  It only takes 30 days to make a new habit, and these habits will help you look and feel your best!  Put your best face forward, which will help you feel more confident in yourself!  Go get'em girl!
