Research suggests people who follow a Mediterranean diet lose 52% more weight than the standard low-fat diet because it isn’t just a fad or limited list of foods. It’s a lifestyle based on a balanced approach to your meals, which focuses on produce, healthy fats, whole grains, legumes, fish, and even some red wine. Committing to losing weight for three months using the Mediterranean diet as a base, along with three booster products and three lifestyle changes, guarantees results. And there is no meal skipping! Look and feel great for all of your holiday parties and events!

Product Review:
Serrapeptase, the little miracle enzyme! Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme, which means it breaks down long protein chains into amino acids that the body needs. These enzymes bind to the alpha 2 macroglobulin in our plasma where it is shielded from the immune system while retaining its enzymatic activity. They are then free to roam through the blood stream seeking to break down hard protein (non-living tissue), fibrin surfaces, scar tissue, granuloma, and even thin out mucous to ease conditions such as chronic sinusitis.
It’s been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen) and should be taken on an empty stomach. The capsule must be a special DRcap (Delayed Release capsule) or enteric coated capsule that allows the Serrapeptase to pass through the stomach to the small intestine where the enzyme is then released.

Suffer from Low Back Pain?
Kidney stones are often the reason for pain in your lower back. One in every 20 people develops kidney stones at some point in their life, normally due to a lack of water in the body. The stones press against nerves in the kidneys and cause various degrees of pain. When the pain travels down into the thighs, it is called sciatica. Bioresonance therapy can test to see if you have kidney stones and, if the stones are present, can help remove them. This is done by sending healthy frequencies into your body, allowing the stones to pass out of the body and relieving your pain. Dennis Ludwig, Evergreen Holistic Health Centre, [email protected]
Do’s and Don’ts of Dating
In today’s distracted world, where people are panicked when they don’t have instant access to their electronics, face-to-face meetings can be a foreign concept. When getting to know someone, it is important that they feel you are giving them your undivided attention. Cell phones need to be on silent and put away while on a date. Exes are not discussed. Communication needs to be real. Texting and emailing are not appropriate ways to get to know someone. Take the time to call them and have a real conversation. Do an activity on your date where you have ample time to get to learn more about the person. Mini golf, bowling, the zoo, or walking through craft shows are some suggestions that allow you to get to know one another without pressure. Lianne Tregobov, CamelotIntroductions.com
Stressed about Stress?
Stress is often thought of as something that happens to us. However, stress is a response to an event and therefore mostly within our control. A major study found that when people view unpleasant physical sensations, like a racing heart and nervousness, as helpful instead of harmful, the risk of heart disease, stroke, and early death diminishes greatly. How can we change our mind about stress? By intentionally subjecting ourselves to a healthy stressor. Fifteen minutes of intense exercise releases endorphins – our body’s natural pain killers and stress fighters – which helps us associate a positive feeling with stress-inducing events.

Real Beauty Benefits of Collagen with BioSil™
BioSil™ is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, thicken and strengthen hair, and strengthen nails.

That’s why BioSil™ helps you look beautiful, youthful, and healthy – naturally! Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. That’s when the vital collagen “mesh” begins to loosen. By age 30, the signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible. BioSil™ has been through the most rigorous testing procedure known, the double-blind, placebo controlled, university-conducted clinical trial. Here’s what they found: BioSil™ Clinical Trial Results:

Decreasing Debt-Related Stress
Consumer debt is at an all-time high and dealing with debt can be a lonely, frightening, and stressful experience. Some ways to manage debt-related stress include:
• If you are carrying balances on your credit cards, stop using them immediately and start making payments, starting with the card that has the highest interest rate.
• Talk to your financial institution to see if they have any suggested solutions to help you manage your debt.
• If your financial institution can’t assist you, select a credit counselling organization to help you evaluate your entire financial situation. This should be a local organization that does face-to-face counselling. Confirm with the Consumer Protection Office of Manitoba that the organization is licensed by the Province of Manitoba.

Winter is Coming
Staying active during the winter months can be difficult with our harsh Manitoba winters; But it shouldn’t have to be. Whether you’re heading outside, bundled up, or staying in, there are many ways to stay active. Outdoors, you will need to be prepared. Cover any exposed skin to reduce the risk of frostbite, and be sure to wear proper footwear to reduce to risk of slipping or falling on any icy surfaces. Proper footwear should have that extra tread just as a winter tire would, or supplemental attachments on the bottoms of your shoes will help dig into those slippery surfaces. If you’re staying inside, fitness or walking DVDs are helpful and remember to wear the proper footwear indoors too. If you have the internet, YouTube is an excellent free source full of multiple types of exercise led workouts or exercises. Carly Appler, CAT(C) InnovativeMedicalSupplies.com
