Magnesium Oxide

A healthy body depends on each body system working in harmony together. The digestive tract gets nutrients in, and takes waste out. An unhealthy digestive system can result in the development of such diseases like gallstones, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), cancer, and Crohn’s Disease. Magnesium Oxide is one of the safest intestinal cleaners in existence. This stand out mineral promotes hydration within the intestinal tract. Hydration helps to soften and liquify waste, allowing for proper absorption and effective elimination.

Hyssop

This aromatic herb has been used throughout history for a variety of purposes. From perfume to remedies for lung function, hyssop has been used to treat about 81 different disorders in the body. Some of the areas where the herb has been used include bronchitis, cancer, and insomnia. The versatile hyssop has also shown promise in relieving abdominal bloating, chronic indigestion, and various upper respiratory issues.

Black Walnut Hull

Black walnut hull contains a nutritional mix that includes vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, B vitamins and tannins. This blend give it antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic and cancer preventative properties. Not only does black walnut help cleanse the digestive tract, it oxygenates the blood and aids in balancing blood glucose levels.

Get Physical

Bone is living tissue. By engaging in regular exercise, you help make your bones stronger by increasing your peak bone mass. Over time, bone mass can deteriorate, causing conditions such as osteoporosis. Begin by assessing where you are now. Start an exercise program that’s right for you today. Even taking a walk counts.

Get Nourished

Another way to improve your bone health is through the foods you eat. Most of us already know that calcium is critical to stronger bones. Orange juice, cereals and soy milk are fortified with calcium. But you can get your daily intake up with vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli. How about a piece of salmon or a serving of beans? Almonds are packed with 62 grams of calcium per serving. A good multivitamin supplement, like Isagenix Essentials for Men & Women, can help provide what you might be missing in your diet.

Get Healthy

By breaking bad habits, we encourage a healthier body. Did you know that smoking not only contributes to diseases of the heart, lung, and esophagus, but it increases risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis as well? A good time to begin is now. If you have any special concerns, have a talk with your doctor to devise a plan that is right for you.

Protein makes up skin, muscles, bone, hair, blood, and almost every other tissue in the body. Every cell in the body is dependent on protein. Our bodies use this nutrient to repair and build tissues, as well as make enzymes and hormones. As a macro-nutrient, our bodies need a relatively large supply of protein to function properly.

However, unlike fats or carbohydrates, the body doesn’t store protein. We must ensure that we are consuming enough of it. The key is to get your protein from the best sources possible. A few good sources of protein include eggs, seafood, or lean beef. Yes, bacon has protein. But it also comes with artery-clogging fats that will do more damage than good. Choose your sources wisely.

Whey protein is a great way to get your fill with ease. Just be sure that your whey powder comes from a reliable source. IsaPro comes from sources that have not been tainted with hormones or antibiotics. It’s undenatured and easily assimilated by the body. Try it in unflavored or vanilla.

Lack of protein can decrease immune function, weaken the cardiovascular or respiratory system, and cause a loss of muscle mass. By getting an adequate amount of protein in your diet each day, you keep your body running well. A proper serving size equals the amount that could be held in the palm of your hand. Protein needs may increase for athletes and those who are physically active. Active teens and body builders will have different protein needs than the average adult.

The Brain

Not only is moving that body good for your heart. It’s good for your mind. When you exercise, it encourages the development of new brain cells. Not only do new neurons form, but the connections between those brain cells become stronger with your daily workout routine. Memory, learning and overall cognitive function are enhanced. This improvement in cognitive function may fend off dementia.

The Pillow

Physical activity promotes a better night of sleep. If you just can’t seem to get a solid night of slumber, exercise could help you to drift off deeply due to a drop in body temperature four to six hours after you workout. If it’s stress that’s making you stay awake, exercise releases endorphins, which contribute to an overall sense of well-being. Break the cycle. Conqueror the stress. Hit that pillow ready to recharge.

The Confidence

By exercising on a regular basis, you empower yourself with the tools to change your body. You will not only see a noticeable difference in your energy levels, your skin and your waistline. You will feel great. By far, feeling good about yourself is one of the best reasons to exercise. When your body feels good inside, you can project a greater level of confidence in your daily life. Even if you begin small, it makes a difference. Do more as your body gets fitter. You can achieve a healthier, fitter you!

Peak Times

UVB rays can deliver real nasty sunburns. They also can cause cataracts and have a negative effect on the body’s immunity. Prolonged exposure to UVB rays can cause cancer. Most UVB rays are absorbed by the earth’s ozone layer. But a significant amount of these rays still pass through.

UVA rays are responsible for premature skin aging and wrinkling. They also contribute to the development of skin cancer. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. By limiting your sun exposure during the times these ways are at their peak (10:00 am to 4:00 pm), you cut back on your risks.

Slather on Sunscreen

Sunscreens are your first line of defense against sun damage.

Here are a few fun facts about your skin:

The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that an Australian study found applying sunscreen cuts the risks of skin cancer in half. Always use a sunscreen, even on cloudy days. UV rays are able to penetrate through clouds. Apply one ounce of sunscreen, about a shot glass full, prior to going outside.
