Want to Feel Like a Superhero? Try Superfoods

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:40:00 +0000

Superfood sounds like something we all need to be superheroes in our lives, right? But what are they, really?

Superfoods are super-concentrated whole food sources of essential nutrients, especially nutrients that our bodies do not make by themselves. Superfoods give us more "bang for the buck" than other health foods like salads because they are much more concentrated, delivering more nutrition gram for gram.

Many superfoods are green, such as:

Blue-green and green algae
Chlorella and spirulina
Wheat and barley grasses

Here are some other superfoods, according to Dr. Perricone (as featured on Oprah):

Açaí
The Allium Family
Barley
Beans and Lentils
Buckwheat
Hot Peppers
Nuts and Seeds
Sprouts
Yogurt and Kefir

Variety is important when incorporating superfoods into your diet. Also, be careful as some of the items on the second list above can prove fattening if you eat them in excess. Otherwise enjoy!

Oxidative Damage from Free Radicals -- What?!

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:13:00 +0000

I don't know about you, but sometimes when I read a health article I get lost within the first couple of sentences. I'm relatively intelligent, but how many people can give you an instant definition of terms like:

oxidative damage
free radicals
antioxidants

You might know that all three of these things are related and that the first 2 are bad for you ... and have some idea that the last one is probably good for you. But you may still end up with a giant question mark over your head, especially if you start shopping at the health food store for "good for you" supplements.

<><> Some Simple Health Definitions <><>
So what do all these phrases mean? Well, they actually are simpler than you think. Let's look at some simple definitions.

>>> Oxidative Damage <<<
What does that mean, really? To find out what oxidation does, just look at your car or any piece of metal left exposed to the elements, especially oxygen. When the metal interacts with the oxygen in the air, if not protected the metal will rust. That is a very simple example of oxidative damage.

Oxidative damage can also occur with skin cells. For instance, when you get a cut, the cells around and in the cut are exposed to oxygen and the process of oxidation occurs. While metal rusts, skin cells die. Skin cells can also die from excessive exposure to sun -- this is another form of oxidative damage.

Inside your body, cells interact with oxygen in the air you breath and the food you eat. Through various complex processes, oxidative damage occurs and cells die off.

>>> Free Radicals <<<
Free radicals are related to oxidation. Here's how. Cells damaged by oxidation are called free radicals, and end up missing a crucial molecule. These free radical cells then try to "rob" other cells to restore the missing molecule. In the process, the cell that is being robbed gets damaged. When that damage occurs to the DNA, the cell then becomes a mutant cell, and mutant cells are often the start of disease or chronic illness. One free radical cell can often start a free radical "cascade," with each damaged cell in turn damaging another cell. So in short, a free radical is a damaged cell that damages DNA in other cells causing mutation and disease. Whew! Glad that one is out of the way.

>>> Antioxidants <<<
OK, this one is much easier to explain. Going back to the example of the metal in your car, an antioxidant is the body's equivalent of wax and paint, both of which prevent oxidation. Inside the body, antioxidants either prevent the oxidation process or stop the process before it "cascades." Vitamin C, for instance, captures free radical cells and neutralizes them, preventing oxidation from happening to more cells. Other vitamins, like Vitamin E, stop the free radical cascade process.

These days, experts estimate that the free radical load is much heavier than it was 200 years ago. Almost everything we eat, drink, or breathe can cause oxidative damage. Exposure to outer substances, like smoke or asbestos, can do the same. That's why we need to add a variety of antioxidants to our diets. Our bodies simply can't keep up with all the free radicals being produced.

>>> Powerful Antioxidants <<<
When deciding which antioxidants to add to your diet, consider that variety is important. Eating 10 servings of the same vegetable every day isn't going to help you much. Powerful antioxidant protection comes from whole food sources that provide a whole spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. Consider adding:

- fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- legumes and nuts
- wheat sprouts, coenzyme Q10, blue-green algae

The effect of antioxidants is supportive over a long period of time rather than instantly dramatic. Just as waxing your car prevents rust, adding antioxidants to your diet supports your body in the face of chronic illness and disease. So know that you are doing something good for your body when you take antioxidants, even if you can't actually "see" the effects with your own two eyes!

Caffeine, Prozac, Ambien – The Staple American Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:39:00 +0000

I'm being sarcastic, of course, but not really. While indulging in watching TV, another staple of the American lifestyle, I loved this quote from "Royal Pains," when asked what medications she takes:

"In addition to my blood pressure meds, the same as everyone else. Ambien to go to sleep, caffeine to wake up. Paxil to make it through the day ..."

With 20 million Americans complaining of chronic stress and 95% of doctor visits being for stress, this quote is to be believed. Americans ARE on a lot of drugs to go to sleep, wake up, and stay calm and collected.

But there is another way ...

Natural Solutions to Wake Up and Go to Sleep
While there are definitely people who need pharmacological solutions for waking up and going to sleep, there are also natural solutions worth exploring--solutions that are not addictive and do not interfere with the body's normal waking and sleeping cycle.

Here are 3 quickies worth trying:

Wake Up: Instead of chugging caffeine, try taking a brisk walk and a hot shower. Note that you may have "caffeine headaches" for a week or so when you go off caffeine. You can alleviate these headaches by taking a dose of slow-release magnesium with tonic water each night and each morning as needed. Magnesium calms the nerves while tonic water has quinine, which eases any aches and pains you may have upon waking up caffeine free.
Go to Sleep: If you have trouble sleeping, try some homeopathics. Hyland's Calms Forte works wonders. Avoiding caffeine will also help your body sleep at the right time. A warm bath before bed can also help.
Stay Calm during the Day: Take several capsules of blue-green algae during the day. The whole algae cell (Alpha Sun) keeps you physically energized yet calm, while the center of the algae (Omega Sun) calms your mind and increases mental energy.

These are simple natural solutions that may really help your body behave energetically yet naturally during the day ... as you wake up, go through your day, and go to sleep!

Stress Relief – Natural Solutions

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:56:00 +0000

Did you know that more than 20 millions Americans suffer from health problems related to chronic stress?

Or that 95% of visits people make to healthcare professionals are for stress-related issues?*

Are we a stressed-out nation or what? Luckily we are also a nation that has easy access to bunches of natural solutions that can relieve stress.

Natural Solutions for Stress Relief
There's something on the natural solutions menu for everyone. Consider these solutions:

++ B Vitamins from Probiotics: These are the vitamins, especially B-12, that help us relax and soothes our nerves. Unfortunately, when we are stressed we burn through our body's supply of B vitamins. You can replenish your body's B vitamins naturally by replacing the beneficial bacteria in your gut. These beneficial bacteria, called probiotics, produce the B vitamins in our bodies. When you take probiotics like acidophilus, bifidus, or full-spectrum mixes you basically give your body the ability to KEEP producing B vitamins, especially when you are stressed.

++ Healthy Protein: Stress also increases our body's need for protein, so you need to increase your protein intake when stressed. To avoid all the side effects associated with various protein sources, feed your body only "good proteins." These include whole grains, soy foods, sprouts, and blue-green algae. These good proteins support your body's ability to handle stress, both physically and mentally.

++ Antioxidants: Nothing makes you feel stress more than various aches, pains, and chronic health conditions. To avoid aggravating these conditions, take antioxidants. These "scavengers" literally go around your body cleaning up the toxins and substances that make your aches and pains worse during stress. Antioxidant-rich supplements include sprouts, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin C. In addition, many people find that avoiding wheat helps decrease general aches and pains.

++ Lifestyle Fixes: In addition to paying attention to nutrition and supplements, you can also decrease the effects of stress by getting plenty of sleep, drinking plenty of well or spring water, exercising regularly, avoiding caffeine, and calming yourself with a daily spiritual practice like meditation.

All of these natural solutions are simple to add to your daily regimen. Adding just one of these solutions to your life will improve your body's reaction to stress in ways that will amaze you!

Holiday Feasting? Go For It!

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:17:00 +0000

If you just can't say "No" to all the holiday feasting that's
going on this season, don't bother. Just go for it. Eat, drink,
and be merry ... just be sure to pack some extra probiotics and
enzymes in your pocket. Having some extra acidophilus, bifidus,
and spectrabiotic (these are all probiotics) and enzymes on board
will ensure that you don't suffer too many "Pepto Bismol" moments
during the next few weeks.

Probiotics (this literally means "for life") are the good
bacteria that live in your gut. These "good bugs" do a lot for
you, including:

1. keeping your digestion going
2. producing B-12 vitamins to keep you calm and happy during the
holidays
3. acting as a first line of defense against illness

Whenever you stress your body (like overeating at the buffet) or
drink too much coffee or chlorinated water, you kill off the
probiotics in your gut. Lack of probiotics means that your body
won't get the benefit of all those actions listed above. You'll
have indigestion, you won't feel calm and collected, and you're
more likely to get sick. So yes, you definitely need to keep
those probiotics healthy and lively in your gut. Taking extra
probiotics during the holidays will keep the population of
beneficial bacteria in your gut at healthy levels. You will feel
healthier and more vibrant!

Enzymes are also key in keeping you healthy and happy during the
holidays. Before you dive headlong into that holiday buffet, take
the time to swallow 2 to 4 enzymes ... then eat. The enzymes will
ensure that all the extra food and rich desserts you eat will be
properly digested, preventing digestive side effects like
bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation.

One simple regimen to follow during the holidays is as follows:

<> 2 to 4 acidophilus in the morning before breakfast
<> 2 to 4 bifidus in the evening before bed
<> 2 to 4 enzymes before each meal
<> 2 to 4 spectrabiotic (the FULL SPECTRUM probiotic) in the
evening when all else fails!

Most of all, enjoy the holidays ... eat, drink, and be merry, and
rest assured that the probiotics and enzymes will keep you merry
and well!

5 Ways to Drink Enough Water

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:44:00 +0000

"I know, I know! I should hydrate more!" This is what many people say when confronted by the fact that they would feel better and be healthier if they drank enough water on a daily basis. When you don't get enough water, your body can't detoxify, your mouth and mucous membranes can feel dry, and you can simply feel tired!

Your body is 60% water, so you need to keep it hydrated if you want it to perform well for you. According to the Mayo Clinic, women should drink about 9 cups of fluids per day while men should drink about 13 cups of fluids per day.

Notice that the Mayo Clinic specifies "fluids" rather than water. It is true that your body uses fluids from the food and drink that you intake daily, but be careful what counts toward your fluid intake. Coffee, for instance, is a fluid but it is also a diuretic, which means that it tends to flush fluids from your body. So drinking coffee might actually equal a negative fluid intake.

Water is Best
Pure well or spring water is best to drink if you can. If you can't stand the sensation of chugging 9 cups of water, here are some ideas that might help:

1. Warm the water slightly
2. Add a fresh slice of lemon or lime to enliven the flavor
3. Add a pinch of Celtic sea salt, for taste and for health
4. Add an herbal non-caffeinated teabag for taste
5. Keep the water in sight at all times and take a few sips every time you look at the bottle.

Finally, to keep you on track, consider downloading one of the many free apps for mobile devices that remind you to drink water!

Back Pain: Natural Solutions for Back Support

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:05:00 +0000

The American Chiropractic Association has some shocking statistics about back pain. Did you know that:

- 31 million Americans experience back pain at any given moment
- Half of all working Americans state they have back pain
- Back pain is the most common reason for missed work

Yowza ... that's a lot of people in pain! Luckily for people who don't want to pop pain pills to suppress back pain, there are a number of natural solutions that support the back.

What Back Pain Means
Before we dive into some great natural methods you can use to support your back, let's first look at back pain from an emotional or spiritual point of view. According to Louise Hay, back pain can be a signal that we are uncomfortable with life. Pain in the upper, middle, and lower sections of the back each has a separate meaning (from Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life"):

- Lower: Fear of money. Lack of financial support.
- Middle: Guilt. Stuck in all the stuff back there. "Get off my back."
- Upper: Lack of emotional support. Feeling unloved. Holding back love.

You can say the affirmations associated with the affected section of the back as a mantra during the day to support yourself:

- Lower: "I trust the process of life. All I need is always taken care of. I am safe."
- Middle: "I release the past. I am free to move forward with love in my heart."
- Upper: "I love and approve of myself. Life supports and loves me."

Natural Solutions for Back Support
On a physical level, you can also take simple steps to support back health. We list three of the most effective solutions here:

>>> Castor Oil Packs: Apply a section of wool flannel soaked in castor oil and lightly heated. Keep the pack warm with a heating pad, and enjoy the warming heat for 1.5 hours. This Edgar Cayce remedy is a powerful way to restore your back to healthy ease. To do a pack, you will need specific directions. To get these directions, send a blank email to packs@prosperity-abounds.com (if you don't get the email directions within 15 minutes or so, check your spam folder).

>>> Natural Anti-Inflammatories: Two excellent natural anti-inflammatories are Simplexity's Super Sprouts and Algae and Rebound. Taken on a regular basis, either of these natural herbal formulations support back health and reduce inflammation.

>>> Rebuild with Stem Cells: If your back has been injured or damaged in any way, your body can use stem cells (undifferentiated cells that your body can use anywhere in your body) for healing. Simplexity's Stemplex is a natural supplement that stimulates your body to produce more stem cells in a healthy way.

The Good News
Back pain isn't fun, but the good news is that there are natural solutions that really work to support back health. Plus, there are no side effects with these natural solutions, unlike pain pills which have many side effects.

Concerned about Osteoporosis? Natural Solutions for Bone Health

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:10:00 +0000

Did you know that osteoporosis affects 35% to 50% of women in the first five years of menopause? Did you also know that osteoporosis also affects men?

Currently, at least 35 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis! Yowza, that's a lot of people who need to watch how they treat their bones, since osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weaker and less dense, making them more likely to break.

Natural Solutions for Bone Support
One of the best natural solutions for bone support comes from the Orient: red yeast rice. There are many strains of red yeast rice, but some forms have proven more effective for increasing bone density and mineral absorption than others. For instance, the strain used in OsteoSun is the most "bone active" form available. OsteoSun enhances the body's natural ability to restore bone mass and is scientifically proven to build new bone.*

So adding OsteoSun to your daily regimen can help support bone health. What else can you do to support your bones? Here are some other simple natural steps:

-    eat foods high in EFAs (essential fatty acids)
-    decrease consumption of red meat and dairy
-    add sea greens and AFA algae to your diet
-    eat foods high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium

You don't have to become a statistic when it comes to osteoporosis. As with most chronic conditions, osteoporosis is easier to prevent than to treat ... so start supporting your bones now! You will appreciate it later!

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids – A Quick Explanation

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:24:00 +0000

If you are confused about the difference between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, you are not alone. Many health-oriented folks are aware that we need these fatty acids, but don't know the role that each plays in the body ... or how much of each we need.

So here's a quick explanation that might help: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids both fall in the category called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which are fatty acids that our bodies need but which our bodies cannot produce. That means that we have to get EFAs from the foods and supplements we eat.

Getting Omega-6 fatty acids from the foods we eat is relatively simple. Seeds and nuts, plus oils refined from these seeds and nuts, all contain Omega-6 fatty acids. In fact, we tend to get too many Omega-6's from our regular diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, are much less available. These fatty acids can be found in blue-green algae, and coldwater fish such as salmon and sardines. This means we tend to get too few Omega-3's in our diets.

The imbalance of too many Omega-6 fatty acids and too few Omega-3 fatty acids leads to problems. Why? Because hormones generated from Omega-6's tend to cause inflammation in the body, clotting of the blood, and cell proliferation. The Omega-3 fatty acids have the opposite effect. When we get equal amounts of both types of fatty acids, our bodies stay healthy. But the modern diet gives us way too many Omega-6's and too few Omega-3's.

The solution? Eat more fish. A simpler solution is to add AFA blue-green algae to your diet. Each algae cell contains 4.1 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and only 0.9 mg of Omega-6 fatty acids. Thus taking blue-green algae can help rebalance these fats in your system.

This balance is important since inflammation from too much Omega-6 can lead to chronic conditions such as coronary heart disease, many forms of cancer, asthma, autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases

Awesome Answers for the Angry and Irritable

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:56:00 +0000

Have you noticed that people seem to be more angry and irritable than usual, whether in the supermarket or on the highway? Or do you maybe find yourself waking up on the wrong side of the bed more days than you used to?

If so, you are not alone. These days, with the economy and other life factors bouncing out of control, people can do little but react with anger and irritation. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine point of view, this means that the Liver is out of balance. Although we typically say that people "vent their spleens" in reality angry people have unbalanced livers.

The Liver: A Delicate Organ
To an acupuncturist, the liver is one of the most delicate and difficult-to-treat organs. It is both aggressive (hence being the source of anger) and quick to react with inflammation. At the same time, it does not easily accept support and healing energy. Give the Liver too much energy, and it rebels. Offering the wrong kind of energy produces the same results.

Luckily, one form of nutritional support that the Liver will easily accept is the nutrition of pure sprouted greens. In Chinese Medicine, the Liver's season is spring, when fresh green shoots and sprouts are just starting to grow. These sprouts gently cleanse and nourish the Liver back into balance.

Go Green to Rebalance the Liver
While it might be difficult to grow sprouts year round to support the Liver, you can conveniently support your liver with Go Green from Simplexity Health. Go Green is a rich source of organic sprouted greens that can rebalance the liver and help improve your cranky mood. Go Green ingredients include:

Basmati Rice Trin®, pea fiber, apple pectin, barley sprouts, flaxseed, green oat grass, Jerusalem artichoke, soy lecithin, organic oat sprouts, organic quinoa sprouts, organic soy sprouts, wheat grass, organic wheat sprouts, Super Blue Green® Algae (Aph. flos-aquae), organic sprouted millet, organic sprouted spelt, date fiber, barley grass, dulse, kelp, Siberian ginseng, lipase, stevia leaf, amylase, cellulase, protease.

You need just one to two teaspoons of Go Green daily, mixed with your favorite vegetable juice to keep your liver support, balanced and happy. When your liver is happy, so are you ... so Go Green!

Natural Ways to Feel Calm

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:01:00 +0000

When you wake up in the morning, do you pause to enjoy that calm moment of peace between sleeping and waking? And wouldn't it been nice if you could experience that feeling of peace and calm during the day?

You can, naturally. While our techno-driven society tends to make us speak, think, walk, and even digest faster than is natural, you can take steps to slow your body and mind so that you return to a state of peace.

Natural Supplements to Restore Calm
There are several natural substances in the body that get "eaten up" when we are stressed. These substances contribute to our sense of calm, so when they become scarce, we find it difficult to feel calm. Examples include B-vitamins, magnesium, and certain micronutrients that feed the brain.

To keep yourself calm and peaceful daily, consider adding these supplements to your daily regimen, especially during times of stress:

- Probiotics: Acidophilus and bifidus as two of the probiotics (good bacteria) that live in our gut. Part of their job is to produce B-vitamins, which are essential to a feeling of calm. Stress, drinking chlorinated water, and taking antibiotics can all kill the probiotics natural to our gut. Taking acidophilus and bifidus restores the populations of these beneficial bacteria, and allows our bodies to produce calming B-vitamins.

- Magnesium: Magnesium is an essential ingredient for muscle relaxation and overall body calm. Many of us lack magnesium. If your muscles are sore and tense, and you find that you just can't relax, consider adding magnesium to your daily regimen. Just be sure to start slowly, since once your body has absorbed enough magnesium it will release the rest via your colon, usually in the form of diarrhea.

- Brain Food: Omega Sun blue-green algae from Simplexity Health contains rare micronutrients that can pass through the blood brain barrier and actually support the health of our brain cells. Most macro-nutrients cannot pass through this barrier, and hence tend to support overall body health while not helping our brains. To restore clarity of through and mental energy, add Omega Sun to your daily regimen.

A feeling of peace and calm throughout the day is not only possible, but easy to achieve with some simple natural supplementation. Enjoy!

Simple Solutions for the Super Stressed

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:44:00 +0000

We haven't even really hit our stride in the holiday season yet, and people are already feeling super stressed! Whether the upcoming holiday season is causing you stress or you are dealing with other kinds of life problems, feeling repressed by stress is no fun at all!

Most of us know that stress isn't healthy, yet taking steps to support ourselves in times of stress can often seem like just one more thing to add to our "to do" lists. Luckily, supporting our bodies and minds during stressful times doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, it can be really simple.

Simple Solutions for Support
Convenience, simplicity, and ease ... these are the keys to
supporting ourselves when stressed. If you feel stressed, try
this simple nutritional "recipe" to keep you on track until the
current crisis in your life has passed:

1 to 4 packets of Simplexity Essentials

-- plus one of the following options --

1 to 2 ImmuSun
1 to 2 Coenzyme Q10
1 to 2 StemPlex

Why This Recipe Works
First, this little nutritional recipe works because it only
requires you to put a box of Essentials next to a bottle of
antioxidants on your kitchen counter. You can gulp down these
supplements easily before or after breakfast.

Second, the Essentials provide you with a full spectrum of
nutritional support. Each packet contains two forms of Super Blue
Green Algae, probiotics, and enzymes. The blue-green algae gives
you both mental clarity and physical energy. The probiotics
support digestion and relaxation. The enzymes help you digest and
get the maximum nutrition from your food. Sounds good, right?

Then, depending on which supplement you choose from the list, you get additional benefits. ImmuSun gives your immune system strong support. Coenzyme Q10 promotes heart and gum health, plus provides cellular and physical energy. Finally, StemPlex promotes stem cell production in your body and supports the body's healing processes.

This little recipe is a one-two punch that you can easily
incorporate into your morning routine. When you feel more
stressed, increase your intake of these whole foods. When you
feel less stress, decrease your intake.

It's as simple as that!

Enzyme Therapy – Using the Right Enzymes

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:50:00 +0000

We've all heard the old saying "You Are What You Eat", but if you really think about this it should be changed to "You Are What You Can Digest". In our age of fast food, processed foods and foods cooked with no active enzymes, we do not get the nutrition our bodies need from the foods we are eating. The pancreas, liver and spleen are all stressed to produce the enzymes that our diets fail to provide. No matter how healthy we try to eat, modern foods and the ways they are processed just don't provide what we need. Enzyme Therapy is a must to supplement our diets.

Enzymes are necessary to aid digestion by metabolizing fat, proteins and carbohydrates and to be absorbed into the blood to clean long-term residual food particles. Since we don't get the enzymes we need straight from our foods, we need to have a little Enzyme Therapy to get the right enzymes into our diets. There are 4 types of food enzymes that our bodies need and each has its own role to play:

1. Lipase – breaks down fat molecules and helps the body store fat. A shortage of lipase can compromise the circulation and contribute to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and degrade the immune system.

2. Protease – breaks down proteins to produce amino acids vital to growth and health of our bodies

3. Cellualse – breaks down cellulose which is found in fruits and vegetables we eat.

4. Amylase – breaks down starch molecules and has been found to relieve mental fatigue and help in maintaining a healthy mind and body.

Exactly how important are food enzymes to one's health? Dr. Edward Howell after completing his enzyme research, Food Enzymes For Health Longevity, stated, "Diets deficient in enzymes cause a 30% reduction in life-span." His recommendation is to take capsules of concentrated plant enzymes to supplement our diets.

Simplexity Health has 2 basic enzyme products to help with the supplementation of your diet and make sure you get the right enzymes.

SBG Zymes – contains amylase, cellualse, lipase, protease and lactase for more efficient digestion and also contains MycoPepsin, the first enzyme on the market that works in a low pH environment. As food digests, the stomach becomes more acidic. MycoPepsin remains active in a highly acidic environment.

SBG Zymes Plus – contains a plant based enzyme blend of 12 active enzymes. Also has blue-green algae, fennel seed, ginger root and cayenne pepper to further aid in digestion. SBG Zymes Plus also contains MycoPepsin just like regular SBG Zymes.

Supplementing your diet with enzymes from Simplexity Health allows you to digest your food to the fullest and get the nutrition your body needs. You can be what you eat with a little enzyme therapy from Simplexity Health.

Natural Solutions to Boost Your Immune System

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:37:00 +0000

We hear a lot these days about boosting the immune system. But what exactly is the immune system? Basically it is certain types of body cells that protect against bacterial, parasitic, fungal, and viral infections as well as tumor cell growth.

Here is what happens in the body to provide this protection:

Bone marrow starts the process as it creates cells through hematopoiesis of its stem cells into immune system cells.
The thymus produces mature T cells from other bone marrow cells.
These T cells are needed as a helper in the immune system. Some T-cells help regulate the complex workings of the immune system and activate white blood cells to fight infections and others destroy infected or mutant cells.
The spleen also has a role to play. It is made up of B Cells, T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells and red blood cells. It acts as a blood filter capturing antigens and destroying old red blood cells or using its B cells to produce antibodies.
Lymph Nodes throughout the body, composed mainly of T cells, B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages, drain tissue fluid and filter antigens from lymph.
Macrophages regulate immune system response and carry antigens to T cells and B cells to deal with.
Dendritic cells found in the thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, blood stream and tissues performs much like the macrophages in carrying antigens to T cells and B cells.

Now that we understand how the immune system works and how important it is to our health, here's some ways you can keep it in good shape:

Eat foods rich in antioxidants, fresh fruits and vegetables
Get 8 hours of sleep each night
Exercise 30 minutes a day
Drink eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day

Other things you can include in your diet that help boost your immune system naturally are:

Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Beta-carotene
Zinc
Garlic
Selenium
Omega-3 fatty acids
Lemon
Beta glucan

Simplexity Health understands how important the immune system is and has solutions for boosting it naturally. Immusun from Simplexity is designed especially for enhancing support of the body's immune system and supporting the production and activity of beneficial white blood cells. It contains the active ingredient WGP™ beta glucan, a patented form of the complex carbohydrate beta glucan, which is found in the cell walls of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University have shown that WGP beta glucan is able to activate macrophages thus creating a stronger immune system. Beta glucan itself is a complex carbohydrate of glucose derived from sources such as yeast, bacteria, fungi, and cereals like oats, barley, and rye.

Simplexity also has products to supplement your antioxidant protection which boosts the immune system. Here are a few to check out:

plaHARD Reflex – provides Vitamin A, enzymes and antioxidants

What Are Antioxidants?

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:56:00 +0000

Exactly what are antioxdants and what do they do for us? Antioxidants fight the damage caused by free radicals. We get antioxidant enzymes naturally from the food we eat. Fresh, raw foods that have minimal processing supply these enzymes in only minute quantities. For most of us, we need to supplement. Let's examine what are some of the antioxidants the body uses for fighting free radical damage and what are antioxidants that our bodies need.

1. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH) – reduces hydrogen peroxide to water. The body manufacturers GSH from nutrients like amino acid glutamine for which the best sources are citrus fruits, melons and colorful vegetables.

2. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase - are 2 enzymes the body produces naturally. SOD transforms the superoxide radical into hydrogen peroxide. Catalase then changes the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and water.

3. Vitamin A – is an antixodiant nutrient that comes directly from foods and is not manufactured by the body. It is also called retinol and necessary for healthy skin, eyes and growth of new cells. Beta-carotene, also called provitamin A, can be converted to vitamin A by the body and is a safer form of this vitamin for the body. Colorful fruits and vegetables like carrots, apricots, dark green leafy vegetables, red peppers, sweet potatotes and blue-green algae are good sources for Vitamin A and beta-carotene.

4. Vitamin C – is needed for the immune system for function properly. It is an important antioxidant because it is water soluble which allows it to pass through all the fluids in the body. Good sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits, tomatoes, rose hips and dark green vegetables like broccoli and kale.

5. Vitamin E – is fat soluble and is able to prevent oxidative damage in the body's fatty areas like cell membranes. Vitamin E can be obtained from eating nuts, whole grains, vegetable oils and small amounts in fruits in vegetables.

6. Trace minerals (selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, and chromium – Whereas these are not true antioxidants, these minerals are important for effective functioning of antioxidant enzymes.

Other foods that have antioxidant properties include Hawthorn, Pine bark extract, cereal grasses, milk thistle, grapeseed extract, garlic, bilberry, soy, ginkgo, turmeric and green tea. When you do need to supplement your diet with antioxidants you can turn to Simplexity Health for help. What are antioxidant products that Simplexity offers? Here is a list and how they provide you with antioxidant protection:

Natural Solutions For Daily Energy

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:45:00 +0000

Why is it that so many of my important meetings seem to get scheduled in the early afternoon? That is just about the time I find my energy draining, my attention wandering and have more difficulty focusing. This is a topic my sister, Sheila, and I discuss quite a bit. She has 5 kids and has often wondered why school lets out just at that time of day when she finds her energy and concentration slowing down. Neither of us are fans of artificial stimulants or heavy caffeine users and wish we could find a natural solution to increase our energy level and be able to focus through the afternoon. Sheila used to say, "If we could just bottle my kids' energy, we'd be set. Couldn't find a more natural solution than that."

Well, recently my sister, who just happens to have her own Simplexity business, calls me and says Simplexity has done just that. They have managed to develop a product that is a totally natural solution for boosting energy, enhancing focus and attention and improving memory. The product is AquaSun Alert. It's a liquid that comes in 2 ounce bottles. Of course, I'm interested and ask Sheila to tell me all about it. She tells me it has no artificial stimulants, no chemical preservatives and no synthetic additives. AquaSun Alert has been formulated to enhance mental health, focus, alertness and energy, improve memory, attention span, concentration and mood. She says she has been taking it for about a month and that it gives her a calm type of energy without the jitters she experiences from coffee.

How does it work? What is in it? I'm sure it's not literally a transference of my nephews' and nieces' energy into liquid form. So what does make this formula the natural solution for an energy drain?

Sheila drops by my house, gets out her AquaSun Alert flyer and shows me exactly what the ingredients are and how they work for increasing mental and physical energy. Here's a rundown:

Organic Microalgae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) – provides essential fatty acids, complex sugars for energy, 13 vitamins, 23 minerals and trace minerals and all 20 amino acids. Helps sustain healthy cholesterol levels due to ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
Maca (Lepidium peruvianum) – a hardy perennial plant, Maca root is a tuber, a starch containing 10% protein, 60% carbohydrate and assorted fatty acids. It is rich in nutrients and phytochemicals including alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, saponins and amino acids.

Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis) – rich in flavonols, polyphenols, and EGCG (powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals). It is a natural source of caffeine.

Organic Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) – a shrub with berry-like fruit. Roots have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes and has been found useful in helping the body adjust to occasional stress.

Organic American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) – a perennial herb useful in helping the body adjust to occasional stress and contains ginsenosides which support the adrenal gland and utilization of oxygen when exercising.

Schizandra (Schizandra chinensis) – a woody vine whose name translates to 'five-flavor berry' because its berries have all five basic flavors: sour, sweet, pungent, bitter and salty. It also contains phytochemicals gomisin, schizandrin, lignans, and beta-sitosterol and is rich in minerals, vitamins and essential oils.

Phenylethylamine (PEA) – a naturally occurring alkaloid chemical compound made from amino acid phenylalanine. PEA is found in the human central nervous system and is responsible for feelings associated with pleasure and mental awareness. It is linked to energy, mood and attention.

Phycocyanin – extracted from blue-green microalgae, it provides strong antioxidant activity and studies have been conducted showing this nutrient is beneficial in maintaining brain function.

I can see now how this unique formula would work and by seeing the difference in Sheila, I'm ready to give it a try. I think this liquid brain food is just what I've been wishing for to help me stay alert and focused throughout the day.

Antioxidant Skincare – Keep It Simple

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:21:00 +0000

You may think keeping it simple is easier said than done if you have studied the Theory of Oxidative Stress at all. Here it is in a nutshell.

Our bodies age because of damage to cells and then organs caused by the accumulation of free radicals. Free radicals are unbalanced molecules and the most problematic one is the oxygen free radical. These molecules look for other molecules to bind to so they can become balanced, thus damaging other cells and creating a chain of changing free radicals. Antioxidants can protect skin and organs from this process by neutralizing these changing free radicals. There are a variety of antioxidants that can affect the different types of free radicals and no single one will work on all free radicals in all parts of the body. Here are 3 basic things to remember about antioxidant protection.
-Only use natural whole food complexes, enzymes and extracts
-Use a combination of different antioxidants creating a complete complex
-Using a combination of antioxidants creates a synergistic effect

Now let's look at a rundown of how the damage happens and what you can do to minimize the damage.

Singlet oxygen, which is not a true free radical starts the process often triggered by ultraviolet light. This starts elastase and collagenase to form which destroy elastin and collagen and decrease the blood supply to the skin. This can be neutralized by coenzyme Q 10, beta-carotene which is found in blue-green algae and green tea extract.

Superoxide causes infloammation that attacks cells and interrupts blood flow, destroys enzymes and cell membranes. You can see the result as fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. This can be neutralized by vitamin C, Vitamin E, trace amounts of zinc, copper, and manganese which are found in blue-green algae, green tea, and coenzyme Q 10.

Lipid Peroxyl is a radical that hardens and deforms lipids in cell walls and fluids. This results in thick, rough skin, deep wrinkles and sagging skin. These can be neutralized by grape seed and grape skin extracts, green tea, coenzyme Q 10, vitamin C and vitamin E.

Hydrogen Peroxide is not a direct free radical but it can cross through the cell membrane and harden or deform protein molecules in the nucleus. It can also convert to hydroxyl radical when iron is present. You see this at work when the skin has age spots, dryness, irritation, sensitivity and poor immune system response. Gluthathione, found in blue-green algae, peroxidase, and catalase can neutralize this process.

The Hydroxyl radical is the most dangerous of the oxygen free radicals. It can attack and mutate DNA. At this point damaged cells must be destroyed by the body. Vitamin C and superoxide dismutase which is found in blue-green algae can neutralize this.

As you can probably tell, Simplexity products have the antioxidants you need to combat and neutralize these damaging free radicals. Super Q10 not only has the coenzyme Q10, but also contains 82% of the daily value of vitamin A (beta-carotene) and a full spectrum of carotenoids (natural antioxidants) found in red beta Algae (Dunaliella salina) and Super Blue Green Alpha Sun Algae. NutraBeautiful Antioxidant Lotion with WGPTM Beta Glucan is applied directly to the skin to protect against free radical damage. NutraBeautiful is also now available in individual 5 ml packets so you can use it on the go. ImmuSun also contains WGPTM Beta Glucan in its capsule form that supports the body's immune system and supports the production and activity of beneficial white blood cells. Freggies, the newest product from Simplexity, contains a phytonutrient and antioxidant blend that includes Betacarotene and Lutein and was developed to protect against the effects of aging.

When it comes to battling free radicals and maintaining healthy skin you can keep it simple, just remember Simplexity's antioxidant products have got you covered inside and out.

Pets Are People Too

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:01:00 +0000

Betty, the elderly woman who lives next door to me, has a miniature apricot poodle named Mandy. Mandy is Betty's constant companion and I never see one without the other. Betty keeps her immaculately groomed with a different colored bow in her hair each day, feeds her the highest quality dog food, takes her for walks twice a day and talks to her throughout the day as if she is a human roommate.

Betty is a widow; her children grown and living in cities far away. Mandy is the most important "person" in her daily life. She keeps Betty company, gives her focus and someone to care for, gives her unconditional love and limitless amounts of joy. I know Betty keeps herself healthy by eating healthy foods, exercising and she takes Super Blue Green Algae. I know this because she gets it through my Simplexity business. I recently asked her if she had considered algae for Mandy. Her astonished response was, "I never thought of that". As much as her life centers around Mandy and as much as she does to keep Mandy healthy, it never occurred to her that algae would work for Mandy the same way it works for herself.

Algae does work for pets just like for us humans. Simplexity even makes APA Blend and APA Blend Plus in powder forms specifically for our animal friends, though some people also prefer this powdered form. APA Blend contains Super Blue Green Algae, Spectrabiotic (mix of probiotic, prebiotics and enzymes) and antioxidant-rich wheat sprouts. The APA Blend Plus contains all that and 700 mg of glucosamine per teaspoon for health joint support.

Simplexity Essentials that have 1 Alpha Sun capsule, 1 Omega Sun capsule, 1 Acidophilus, 1 Bifidus and 2 Original Enzymes in each packet are also used by many people for their pets, from cats and dogs to horses. The APA Blends are easier for some pet owners to give as they are in a poder form that can be sprinkled over food or dissolved in the water bowl. For pets who will take capsules easily enough, some owners open an Essentials packet and give one capsule a day over 6 days, then start a new packet. Others divide the packet into light colored capsules at one feeding and dark colored ones at another feeding.

Good nutrition for our pets, just like for people, adds to overall health meaning less doctor or vet bills and longer quality lifespan. After all, our pets are a part of our families and some of the most important "people" in our lives. Super Blue Green Algae can help us keep them happy, healthy, and active for all their years.

Jump Start Your Day with Super Sun Smoothie

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:57:00 +0000

It's a sunny, lazy afternoon. I'm lying in a hammock strung between two enormous palm trees; the ocean breeze and scent of tropical flowers blowing gently over me. Then I hear it. That annoying buzzing sound that seems to come at the end of all my dreams. Yes, the alarm clock. It wakes me from my pleasant tropical dream reminding me it's time to get up, come back to reality and face another work day.

I drag into the kitchen and reach for my container of Super Sun Smoothie knowing it will help jump start my day so I can enjoy it almost as much as my dream.

What type of tasty breakfast drink shall I fix this morning? Part of the fun this marvelous powder brings to my morning is the creativity I employ by adding other ingredients to the already tasty drink it creates. I can add the Super Sun Smoothie powder to different juices or a glass of soy milk, blend in my favorite fruits, nuts, flavorings or even other supplements. By stirring or blending 3 tablespoons of Super Sun Smoothie in an 8-ounce glass of fruit juice, I create the basic pick-me-up shake with soy protein, Alpha Sun and Omega Sun with no dairy, yeast or artificial flavors or colors. My creation provides a significant source of provitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, niacin, 500 mg of Super Blue Green Alpha Sun, 500 mg. of Super Blue Green Omega Sun and genistein from the soy that supports women's health and daidzein from the soy that may be beneficial in maintaining bone density.

Super Sun Smoothie is a nutritious addition to cooking, baking, fresh fruits or breakfast cereal. You are unlimited in the types of concoctions and meals you can use your imagination to create. I think today I'll mix it into a little yogurt, blend in some fresh blueberries and stir all that into a bowl of oatmeal. Ummm, that's good. And now I'm ready to face my day!

Spirulina, Cholrella, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae - Is There a Difference in Algae?

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Joel) — Thu, 19 May 2011 18:30:00 +0000

The simple answer is, Yes, there is a difference. Here's the more complex answer.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is the type known as Super Blue Green Algae. Spirulina are blue-green algae. Chlorella is a green algae. Each of these contain phytochemicals, proteins, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and chlorophyll. There are differences however that make Super Blue Green Algae superior to Spirulina or Chlorella. Here are some of the differences for you to weigh for yourself.

1. Where do they come from –
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Super Blue Green Algae, grows wild in Upper Klamath Lake fed by geothermal springs. Here within an abundance of minerals accumulated over thousands of years, the algae completes its life cycle in the Fall adding to the natural sediment at the bottom of the lake. The most virile algae cells that survive the winter, reproduce again in the Spring. Upper Klamath Lake has a sediment bed of 35 feet. One inch of this bed contains enough nutrients to support 60 years of algae growth. 200 million pounds of algae grows here every year.

In comparison, Spirulina and Chlorella are artificially grown in concrete raceways, ponds and tanks.

2. Added Chemicals –
Nothing is added to the water at Upper Klamath Lake. This is one reason Super Blue Green Algae is certified organic.

Domestic suppliers of Spirulina are not certified organic due to the addition of chemicals to their culture ponds. Foreign Spirulina growers that are organic-certified reportedly have animal manure added to culture ponds as a nutrient source.

Super Blue Green Algae nutrients come only from the sediment and soil in Upper Klamath Lake.

3. Processing –
Super Blue Green Algae from Simplexity is harvested such that the algae is cooled to less than 40 degrees within a minute of being taken from the water. This preserves the nutritional properties.

Most Spirulina and Chlorella products utilize a drying process involving high heat even when freeze-drying is used. Heat destroys micronutrients and the enzymatic activity.

Super Blue Green Algae is dried by Bioactive Dehydration which is a low temperature, organic and kosher certified drying process that preserves natural vitamins, enzymes and other phytonutrients.

The choice is yours. If you are looking for a whole food supplement that is chemical-free, manure-free, 100% from nature, certified organic/kosher/halal, grown wild with more nutrients and protein; Super Blue Green Algae is the choice for you.
