L-Carnitine & Chromium

L-Carnitine with Chromium is a blend of two nutrients that play important roles in the metabolism of fat. L-Carnitine is required for the breakdown of fats into energy, while chromium supports healthy glucose metabolism. Its main function is to help insulin carry sugar into muscle cells where it is stored as energy. A lack of chromium could cause fluctuating blood-sugar levels which trigger sugar cravings. As a carbohydrate dependent society, increasing the amount of L-Carnitine & Chromium in our diet in our formula’s proportions will assist the body’s ability to manage its carbohydrate cravings and, in turn, assist with a successful weight management protocol.

Financial Difficulties?  You Have Options.

A Licensed Trustee in Bankruptcy can assist with resolving your financial challenges thus improving your emotional well-being. There are a number of alternatives available depending on the situation. An “informal proposal” is an option in which an individual enters into an agreement with his/her creditors to settle or defer payment of some or all of their debt. Creditors are not, however, prevented from taking further action while the “informal proposal” is being negotiated. By contrast, a “formal proposal” filed in accordance with federal legislation prevents any further collection action, and collection efforts can only resume if the “formal proposal” is unsuccessful. “Bankruptcy” is another legislated alternative whereby a debtor assigns all of his property (subject to statutory and provincial exemptions) to a Trustee in Bankruptcy for the benefit of his creditors. A Licensed Trustee in Bankruptcy can help you further explore all of your options.

4 Foods You Should Never Eat Again
  1. White flour. The body doesn’t even know how to properly digest this so-called food! Refined white flour has been bleached with chlorine and brominated with bromide, two poisonous chemicals that have been linked to organ damage.
  2. Frozen meals. Most conventionally-prepared meals are loaded with preservatives, hydrogenated oils and other artificial ingredients, not to mention the fact that most frozen meals have been heavily pre-cooked, rendering their nutrient content minimal at best.
  3. Microwaveable popcorn. This processed “food” is one of the unhealthiest foods you can eat. Practically every component of microwaveable popcorn, from the GMO corn kernels to the processed salt and chemicals used to enhance its flavor, is unhealthy and disease-promoting.
  4. Soy-based meat substitutes. Besides the fact that nearly all non-organic soy ingredients are of GM origin, most soy additives are processed using a toxic chemical known as hexane, which is linked to causing birth defects, reproductive problems, and cancer.
Exercise For Life Balance 

Feeling pressured by the demands of both work and home? Whatever you do, don’t sacrifice your workouts. Researchers from four universities recently surveyed nearly 500 working adults to determine whether regular exercise–an extra ball among the multiple priorities that working women juggle–affected work-life balance, and they found that it does: It improves it. “The idea sounds counterintuitive,” says lead study author Russell Clayton, assistant professor of management at Saint Leo University in Florida. How can adding to an already packed day help alleviate stress and improve your ability to cope? Clayton speculates that exercise provides a way to psychologically detach from work, which benefits home life. Plus, it helps us feel better about ourselves–good for life in any venue.  Exercise not only reenergizes our minds, body and soul, it helps balance our hormones to maintain healthy metabolism and digestive systems.

Those Cool Drinks of Summer 

Well, spring has sprung and, in typical Winnipeg style, those sweet drinks of summer seem oh so tempting. While refreshing and sweet, there are things you should know if you choose to treat yourself and your family to these treats. They are not good for you! They cause cavities, weight gain and contribute to type 2 diabetes. You would be shocked at how much sugar and how many calories are in these drinks and slushes. In short, enjoy these sweet treats in moderation. Rinse and brush often and remember the health benefits of a tall cool glass of water: Aaaahhh!

Financial Fitness

If you’re in the market for your first home, here are a few things you should know: The minimum down payment is not the maximum you should have. The most common question I get from first time homebuyers is “how much should I save for the down payment?” While the bank requires 5% of the purchase price, there are other costs you must pay for out of pocket. Expenses such as legal fees and the land transfer tax are unavoidable in Manitoba, so expect to add another 2-3% to cover additional costs of home ownership. Also, being “pre-approved” is not the same as being “approved.” When a lender tells you that you’re pre-approved for a certain dollar amount, they are giving you a limit to shop for based on your income, credit history, and lifestyle. Actual approval only comes when they’ve seen the property you intend to purchase. If you follow these guidelines, your first home buying experience will be much less stressful and much more financially sound.

The Cold Shoulder 

Spring is around the corner and everything is thawing out. Everything, that is, except your shoulder. Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a common condition where the joint swells and stiffens, restricting shoulder mobility, causing pain. It typically occurs after an injury or from overuse, though can occur without injury too. Here’s the real bummer for you ladies: 70% of all cases occur in women, especially postmenopausal, ages 40-70. It comes on slowly, most people don’t realize it’s happening until it’s too late, yikes! The good news: it’s treatable! With simple range of motion exercises, gentle stretching, shockwave therapy and manual therapy you can “thaw” it; often avoiding surgery. Things to “look for” if you think you have frozen shoulder: shoulder stiffness, limited movement, significant pain with movement, and pain worsening at night. Talk with your therapist/doctor if there’s concerns. Take care of yourself so you’re able to enjoy all your springtime activities!

Allow Your Body to Heal

The human body is not designed to be ill. You are not meant to be burdened with chronic health issues. Health issues largely occur because of the poor diet that is typically consumed in North America. By correcting your diet to one that more closely follows what your human genome expects, you allow your body to heal to the extent that it can. It doesn’t matter if the health issue is physical or mental, it will likely respond to a corrected diet. No counting calories, hunger, cleanses, juicing or nutraceuticals required, just eating REAL food and providing the nutrients to your body that it requires to heal and THRIVE. We keep looking for that ‘magic pill’ to solve our health woes but it does not exist. Use real food…it works!
