Steps to Healthier Living 2

So how did you do with the water? Did you get in the water you need in your body every day? Keep going on that.

So step number 2. SALT - Dump ALL your table salt. UNLESS you already have changed over to a REAL salt. Look at your salt container to see what it is. DON'T use 'refined white salt'. Refined white salt is biologically damaging, and a completely unnatural substance. When they refine it they take out as many as 82 trace minerals and essential macro-nutrients. If they left it in it would fulfill a vital role in our health to maintain optimum health. But when they remove them (and sell them to other companies to make more money) they create the most refined and deadly white - of chemical grade sodium chloride.

So the next two weeks - remove all of the refined deadly white 'table' salt. Get yourself on a good sea salt. ONLY eat a good whole salt. Nothing processed. When you do this you could find that your body may not bloat so much, or retain water.

Read the labels on the salt containers. There is also a company out of Utah that has a good salt. It is called 'Real Salt' and it is the real deal. I would suggest too that you go there and read the many articles they have on salt and what the bad salt has done to our bodies over the past several decades.

Salt, in a good form, the way God made it, is good for us in larger quantities, and can actually help blood pressure.

Be aware of all the salt you take in, and what form it is. Stay away from refined salt, it is poison in our bodies. Salt, the way God made it, is actually good for us! Spread the word! Help a friend and yourself.

Let me know how you are doing! Another step in 2 weeks. Do your homework.

Steps to Healthier Living 1

Do you want to get healthier? Is there room for improvement in your life for better health?

Every other week I will be posting just one thing that will get you and your body to healthier living. I am not sure yet how many I will be posting. I am posting bi-weekly because I want you to be able to have ample time to implement each step.

Step 1 - Drink AT LEAST 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water every day. So if you weigh 200 pounds, you will drink 100 ounces. If you weigh 100 pounds you will drink 50 ounces.

If you drink any caffeinated substance, you will need to add 2 waters of the same size, to replace what that caffeinated drink takes from your body. That water for replacement does not count in the amount that you need each day.

Here are some helpers to get this done.
1 - Upon rising, drink 1 full 14 ounce glass of water. Wait 15 minutes and drink another. You will have 28 ounces done within the first hour of rising.

2 - Each time you 'Empty your Tank' fill up again with at least another 14 ounces of water.

3 - Squeeze a little fresh lemon in the water.

4 - Drink your water at room temperature. No ice. It is better for your internal body.

Let me know how you do. Your body will adjust, and WELCOME the hydration and the drink that God gave us! If you ever get thirsty, you have gone too long. You should never thirst. If you do, it means that you are not getting the water you need.

Ambrotose AO Product to be Beneficial Antioxidant Supplement

Ambrotose AO: Independent Human Study Shows Product to be Beneficial Antiox | 26 May 2010

Independent Human Study Shows Mannatech’s Ambrotose AO Product to be Beneficial Antioxidant Supplement

---

Findings published in “BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine”

Mannatech announced the results of an independent human clinical study that demonstrated intake of its proprietary Ambrotose AO® capsules raised antioxidant protection in serum oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in healthy adults, further validating a previous human study.* †

The effect on serum ORAC, a method of measuring antioxidant capacities, was very similar between the two studies. The 2010 five-week study by Dr. Stephen P. Myers of 21 healthy adults by physicians and scientists from Australia and New Zealand showed that four capsules per day of Ambrotose AO dietary supplement was safe and raised ORAC by 36.6 percent.

The 2003 pilot study of 12 healthy adults by Dr. Stephen Boyd, Mannatech’s Senior Director, Medical Affairs, Mannatech scientists and an independent statistician showed that two capsules per day of Ambrotose AO capsules increased ORAC by 37.4 percent.

“We are proud to have two human clinical studies that consistently show our Ambrotose AO product improves antioxidant status of human blood. These results demonstrate antioxidants in Ambrotose AO capsules provide the best antioxidant protection available today,” said Mannatech’s Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer Robert A. Sinnott, MNS, Ph.D. “Antioxidants help reduce the amount of free radicals and oxidative stress that can damage or even kill cells. In addition to providing antioxidant support, many of the nutrients in Ambrotose AO capsules have been shown to promote a healthy immune system.”*

Mannatech’s Ambrotose AO capsules appear to be the most promising antioxidant supplement investigated to date. Ambrotose AO capsules increased human serum ORAC levels more than a number of well-known antioxidant foods and other commercial products: in food studies, increases in serum ORAC have been documented following ingestion of strawberries (14.4 percent increase) or spinach (28.5 percent increase)3, buckwheat honey (7 percent increase)4 or Concord grape juice (8 percent increase)5. In a placebo-controlled trial of healthy adults, a single 100g dose of wild blueberry powder significantly increased serum ORAC by up to 16 percent6 and a single 1.25g dose of vitamin C raised serum ORAC by 23 percent 3. Additional studies of supplements designed to exert antioxidant benefits showed no effect on serum ORAC: a fruit-based antioxidant drink (MonaVie Active®)7,8.

Professor Stephen Myers, Ph.D., BMed, ND is Director of the Australian Centre for Complementary Medicine Education and Research (ACCMER), a unique joint venture of the University of Queensland and Southern Cross University (SCU) and the NatMed-Research Unit, Research Cluster for Health and Wellbeing (NRU-RCHW), SCU, Lismore, AU. The study’s findings were published in the peer‐reviewed BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Ambrotose: Independent Study Shows Ambrotose Products Exert Prebiotic.. | 11 May 2010

Mannatech has announced the results of an independent study demonstrating that our proprietary Ambrotose^® complex and Advanced Ambrotose^® powder exerted prebiotic effects.^{* †} The study was conducted by scientists at Ghent University and ProDigest, a leading company in gastrointestinal (GI) research.

The study, conducted at a top European research institute in Belgium, investigated the effects of Ambrotose complex and Advanced Ambrotose powder on the structure, composition and metabolism of the human GI tract using state-of-the-art human GI tract simulations and sophisticated microbiological analyses.

Its findings determined both Ambrotose complex and Advanced Ambrotose powder exhibited good selective fermentability throughout the entire colon, positive and selective bifidogenic effects and also demonstrated the possibility of enhancing species belonging to Bacteroidetes.

"We have been interested in the effects of Ambrotose products on GI health-a very hot area of scientific research-for many years," said Mannatech's Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer, Robert A. Sinnott, MNS, Ph.D. "A preliminary study published in 2007 showed that these products function as prebiotics, but the human gut is incredibly complex and difficult to study. To learn more, we chose to rely on the expertise of researchers on the forefront of human GI research. The work done by Dr. Marzorati and his team suggests that Ambrotose products support GI health throughout the entire colon; most prebiotics are thought to only exert such effects in the first portion of the colon."

The study's findings were published in the peer‐reviewed International Journal of Food Microbiologyand indexed on PubMed by Drs. Massimo Marzorati and Sam Possemiers (U. of Ghent and ProDigest), A. Verhelst (ProDigest), Profs. Willy Verstraete and T. Van de Wiele (U. of Ghent) and Drs. Robert Sinnott and Gabriela Luta (Mannatech, Incorporated).^[1]

"We are intensely interested in employing state-of-the-art technology to explore the effects of our Ambrotose products," said Sinnott. "This study provides important information about the activities of these products in the human GI tract."

What do you Suffer from? Would Reflexology help your body help itself?

Reflexology is a lost modality that is finally coming back into being in the know. This modality works with your body to help your body be able to heal itself.

Working on the feet helps your brain tell your cells how to fix it's body by way of the reflex points that are 'worked' on the feet. Reflexology is not a modality that you use only if you have foot pain. Reflexology is a modality that you use to aid your body in self reconstruction at a cellular level naturally, with the amazing design that God gave us in our bodies.

In our western world we have been told that we need a pill and that will fix all. I am here to tell you that that is not true, nor is it healthy.

Here is a list of a few things in your body that you could see improvement on, due to your body doing the work it should be doing as a result of Reflexology.

Arthritis, Asthma, Breathing Difficulties, Cancer, Colitis, Depression, Diabetes, Endocrine disorders, Hemorrhoids, Migraine, Sprains, Sciatica, etc etc... The list goes on and on.
