Water - Good For Your Health

Most people don't drink enough water. Instead, soda, coffee, tea, alcohol etc. is their main source of liquid. Well, I use to be one of those people who would forget to drink enough water. I changed my lifestyle and am so glad I did.

Drinking plenty of water improves your skin, boosts your immune system and mood as well as aids in weight loss. I now drink 20 ounces of water between meals and drink water with my lunch and dinner. I look younger and feel so much better. My skin isn't as dry either.

To determine the minimum amount of water you should drink daily, weigh yourself and divide your number in pounds by two. That's how many ounces you should drink per day.

Gluten Free - 30 Year Anniversary

Today is my 30 year anniversary of being diagnosed with Celiac Sprue. Back then I had a Webster's Dictionary and a set of Encyclopedias and there was no labeling on the foods. I also didn't know anyone else who had Celiac Sprue and the dietician I was sent to had never heard of this disease either, so we started our journey of research.

I was the first person my doctor had diagnosed with this disease and so it was new to him also. But the good news is...that 30 years later I have lots of choices of food to eat and the public is becoming more aware also.

Read more about my story at http://www.baileysonestop.com

I am so grateful to be alive, to be healthy and to be able to share my knowledge with others. I have a sister, a daughter and a grandson that has Celiac Sprue also so it is definitely hereditary.

Alarming Facts About the Foods We Eat - Isagenix Newsletter

It’s getting harder and harder to stay healthy in our increasingly toxic world. We’re exposed to more chemicals, pesticides and pollutants than ever before in history; they seep into the water we drink, pollute the food we eat and permeate the air we breathe.

Recently, the nonprofit Environmental Working Group released a disturbing study after analyzing the blood of newborn babies across the United States. In addition to discovering 287 chemicals and other toxins in their blood, they also found 76 chemicals that damage cells in humans and animals; 94 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system; and 79 that are toxic to a developing fetus.

What’s causing this?
Alarmingly, over-farming is wiping out the nutrients in your vegetables and fruits. Fertilizers intended to sterilize the soil have robbed it of mineral content. Since the soil is depleted, so are the foods grown in the soil, and so are we.

Take a look at this important study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showing the loss of vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables since 1975.
• Apples: Vitamin A is down 41%
• Sweet peppers: Vitamin C is down 31%
• Watercress: Iron is down 88%
• Broccoli: Calcium and vitamin A are down 50%
• Cauliflower: Vitamin C is down 45%; vitamin B1 is down 48%; and vitamin B2 is down 47%
• Collards greens: Magnesium is down 85%

So, how do you get the nutrients your body needs to safeguard your health?
As the World Leader in Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™, Isagenix offers two revolutionary superfood products to boost your body’s ability to clear toxins and replenish with optimal nutrition. Isagenix Greens!™ and IsaFruits® contain the healthiest supergreens and superfruits on the planet.

Stress Management

STRESS Can we define stress? Is it the pressure you feel when you are asked to turn in an assignment two weeks early? Is it having too many demands made on your time? Is it the craziness preceding that long awaited wedding day? Is it the anxiety you feel when a loved on is very ill?

Stress is all around us everyday. How do you cope with stress? Unfortunately, most of the stressful situations we face in modern life don't require a physical response so the physiological commotion builds up putting us on edge and keeping us there. We feel tense, frustrated and anxious.

Not all stress is negative. Sometimes stress can help us to perform better by challenging us and keeping us on our toes. But when demands are too great or when we can't find a way to cope with stressful challenges and use them to our advantage, stress can have a detrimental effect on our emotional and even physical health.

Some people turn to drugs, illegal and legal. Some people turn to eating anything and everything. Some people turn to exercising, reading a book, going for a walk, taking a bath, playing a musical instrument. There are many healthy ways to cope with stress.

Sometimes a doctor might not know what is wrong so they take the easy way out and say, "It's caused by stress." I was sick for many years finally being diagnosed with Celiac Sprue. When the root cause for my symptoms was corrected, I started on my road to recovery.

Stress can cause Coronary Heart Disease, problems with blood cholesterol, Adrenaline, etc. Take the time to understand your behavior and learn to cope with stress in a positive way.

Nutritional Cleansing - Isagenix Newsletter 6-18-2011

NUTRITIONAL CLEANSING
What is it? How can it help you? Is it for real?

Here's a list of the most frequently asked questions about Nutritional Cleansing. The answers may just surprise you.

What exactly is Nutritional Cleansing?

In essence, Nutritional Cleansing involves nourishing the body with nutrients that assist in clearing out unwanted substances from your body.

Nutritional Cleansing is not the same as colon cleansing, which is based on using fiber or laxatives to shed gunk and foreign substances from your colon. Instead, Nutritional Cleansing involves using nutrition to help your body perform at its best by ridding it of harmful substances naturally.

The Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing systems use natural ingredients to assist your liver and cells in ridding the body of harmful chemicals to help you feel healthier and more energized. Cleanse for Life® includes 27 vital nutrients, antioxidants, natural botanical extracts, teas, vitamins and minerals. As a side benefit, performing deep cleansing can even help you lose weight.

Isn't it just a fancy juice?

Unlike some one-hit wonder juices that use a single berry as their main ingredient (goji, açai, noni, pomegranate fruits, etc.), Cleanse for Life uses a combination of ingredients and nutrients to support the body’s natural cleansing process. When you read the ingredients, you will see that it contains a powerful combination of antioxidants, herbs, vitamins and minerals that work to help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle each new day.

Why does your body need cleansing?

Every day our bodies ingest all different kinds of chemicals, toxins and impurities. Not only that, but our bodies are also constantly giving off what are known as free radicals, or negatively charged molecules that attack your body's cells. These free radicals can happen as a result of environmental challenges such as pollution or even your normal metabolism and exercise. Nutritional Cleansing helps rid your body of these toxins, while at the same time flooding your system with antioxidants — free radicals' worst nightmare.

Besides helping you lose weight and rid your body of toxins, Cleanse for Life can help you experience increased energy, feel more alert and focused during the day and also help improve your mental and physical performance.

What's the difference between daily cleansing and deep cleansing?

Daily cleansing naturally helps protect your body from impurities you are exposed to every day -- pollutants, chemicals, free radicals and so on. This helps keep you performing at your best.

Over time, some impurities may not get detoxified and cleared out through your body's natural processes. These impurities bury themselves in your cells and tissues, normally staying there and slowing down your metabolism over time. Our nutrients get down deep into your system, ridding contaminants that have collected within your body over time. Deep cleansing also creates the accompanying benefit of stimulating weight loss.

How often should I use Nutritional Cleansing?

For everyday cleansing, drink Cleanse for Life two times daily. For deep cleansing, use four times daily as part of the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

I've heard of Nutritional Cleansing, but what makes Cleanse for Life different?

Cleanse for Life works with your body on a cellular level, rather than just flushing out your digestive system like some diuretic products. And, unlike other products on the market that may deplete the body of vital nutrients, Cleanse for Life actually nourishes the body as it cleanses. •New, State-of-the-Art Manufacturing and Extraction Techniques: Cleanse for Life powder has increased the potency of each rare, no-compromise ingredient. Our powdered formula is now 2- to 3-times its original potency level because of the improved manufacturing and extraction process that pulls all of the phytochemical properties from the botanicals at the cellular level.
•New Ingredients Added: Founder and Master Formulator John Anderson added two new ingredients to the powdered formula, Turmeric and Burdock Root, to enhance your cleansing results naturally.

Adrenal Glands produces stress harmones that have a great impact on overall health and can directly affect blood pressure, mineral content and help regulate the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. Contact your doctor if you have any of the above symptoms. Addison's Disease, Schmidt's Syndrome, Cushing's Disease can be linked to Adrenal Gland Imbalance.

Harmone Balance Test

Are your symptoms due to a hormonal imbalance? Do you need a saliva hormone test? You do not need a prescription to get your saliva hormones measured. It is simple and can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Please contact me: Brenda Bailey (cell) 208-260-0009 or (email) brenda.bailey.1@hotmail.com

Read carefully through the list of symptoms in each group, and put a check mark next to each symptom that you have. You can select off the same symptom in each group. Count the check marks in each group. In any group where you have two or more symptoms checked off, you could have the hormone imbalance represented by that group. The more symptoms you check off, the higher the likelihood that you have the hormone imbalance represented by that group. Some people may have more than one type of hormonal imbalance.

Vitamin D3

My daughter's doctor told her she needed to take extra Vitamin D3 which is hard to find as she is also gluten free. She also takes medication for Epileptic Seizures. After searching she found Isagenix Ageless Actives which also contains Coenzyme Q-10 and Resveratrol, Lenoleic acid, flax seed, red grape extract, pomegranate fruit extract, wolberry fruit extract, Ashwagandha root extract and Turmeric root extract. These ingredients increase the body's resistance to stress, anxiety and fatigue.

Isagenix Ageless Actives helps combat the effects of "cellular aging," which is the result of free radical damage on cell proteins, membranes and DNA. What we see are signs of aging, wrinkles, loss of lean body mass, bone strength, memory loss and reduced physical capacity-is "cellular aging."

In addition to the potent blend of nutrients found in each softget, Ageless AcActives contains red grape and pomegranate extracts to help protect cells from free radicals.

Vitamin D deficiency is the most overlooked condition in the world today. As we get older, our ability to synthesize Vitamin D from natural sources such as sunlight declines. Furthermore, being overweight, staying indoors and using sunblock can leave many of us with dangerously low levels of cifculating vitamin D3.

Ageless Actives contains 1,000IU per serving of vitamin D3-this is the active form needed to elevate blood levels. This effective dose supports bone health, immune health and cardiovascular health.

High Fiber Diet

Getting enough fiber daily is quite a challenge especially if you are on a gluten free diet. Dietary fiber is the part of a plant which is not digested by the stomach or small intestine. Rather, it arrives unchanged in the colon. While there it does two things:
1. It provides bulk or roughage and thereby helps promote regularity.
2. Many of the these fibers are a food and nourishment source for the myriad numbers of bacteria that normally reside in the colon.

When adequate fiber is consumed, 25-35 grams per day, many amazing health benefits occur in the colon and body.

One of the jobs of the colon is to complete the digestive process. This occurs by removing excess water from food wastes entering from the small intestine. When wastes pass through the intestines too quickly, not enough water is absorbed. Watery stools and diarrhea are the result. In contrast, if the passage of waste is too slow, too much water is absorbed. This results in hard stools and constipation.

These facts have been known for a long time. The colon plays a vital role in promoting and maintaining good health. These benefits include producing vitamins and enzymes, enhancing the immune system, controlling cholesterol and triglyceride levels, even in the prevention of certain cancers.

Many foods such as onions, garlic, bananas, leeks, artichokes, asparagus, chicory root, yams, fruits, grains vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals, legumes, nuts, oats, cried beans, broccoli and brussels sprouts.

Switching from a low-fiber to a high-fiber diet should be done gradually to avoid diarrhea, gas and other types of stomach and intestinal discomfor. Care should be taken not to go overboard with fiber. Very high intakes of fiber may reduce the body's ability to absorb dietary minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron. This may cause problems if the diet is not providing adequate amounts of these nutrients to begin with. Fruits, begetables, whole grains and legumes contribute minerals as well as fiber to the diet.

It is difficult in our fast paced world to get enough of the recommended foods in our diets and especially if you are gluten free. Isagenix FiberPro is an excellent source of gluten free fiber. Give Your Body the Fiber It Needs Every Day!

Fewer than 10% of Americans get the recommended fiber in their daily diet.* Isagenix FiberPro™ is flavorless, colorless and easy to mix, giving you a simple way to add fiber to your IsaLean Shake, IsaLean Soup or even just to water or your favorite juice.

4 Essential Nutrients Missing From Your Diet

Monday, June 13th, 2011- Newsletter from Isagenix.com


Sluggish around 3 p.m.? Wishing you could rekindle that child-like energy that makes everyday life feel like a cinch?

You could be missing the four essential nutrients to unlock that vibrant energy.

Many times, that tired feeling we get as we trudge through the day is our body’s way of saying “I need more nourishment!” Even though you may be fitting in all of your calories, that doesn’t mean your body is getting the essential nutrients it needs to function at its utmost.

Here are four essential vitamins you need every day to kick that sluggish feeling to the curb:

1. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. According to a recent study by the British Journal of Nutrition, you should be consuming at least 250 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA daily to protect your heart and keep it functioning optimally. To get 250 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids every day, you’d have to eat a serving of tuna or cod that’s the size of a deck of cards!

Easily and conveniently get your intake with IsaOmega Supreme®. You’ll be flooding your body with 2,000 mg of healthy fish oil daily (1,200 mg long-chain, 600 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA), a great way to boost your heart health. Another plus? Did you know that fish oil can help you lose weight and might even help you keep it off?

2. Vitamin D. Our bodies create Vitamin D thanks to the sun, but most of us neglect getting enough of the “sunshine vitamin” because we’re stuck indoors too much, are carrying extra weight or simply live in a place where certain times of the year yield less of the direct rays than in others. To solve the issue, adding a daily supplement with at least 2,000 IU of Vitamin D. By taking your daily dose of Vitamin D, you’ll be helping to protect your body from the effects of aging and helping to ward off brittle, weak bones, too.

Ageless Actives™ offers 1,000 IU of Vitamin D along with a synergistic blend of other nutrients such as CoQ10 and Resveratrol to support heart health as well. Essentials for Women™ and Essentials for Men™ multivitamins offer another 1,000 IU of Vitamin D. Together, they provide the daily dose of 2,000 IU for your body. Here’s a little more about why you need Vitamin D.

3. Vitamin C. We all know that the key to a healthy immune system is plenty of Vitamin C, but how often do you grab that orange and how much do you really need? Researchers stated in a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that people need to maintain an ongoing and constant vitamin C intake to sustain tissue concentration. That means your Vitamin C intake goes even beyond keeping the sniffles at bay!

Thanks to C-Lyte®, you get 520 mg of Vitamin C, the equivalent of drinking more than five cups of orange juice! With three different types of Vitamin C included such as mineral ascorbates (to buffer acidity), your stomach will thank you for providing such a gentle formula. Learn more about the importance of Vitamin C .

4. Calcium. A study published in the Journal of American Dietetic Association reported that U.S. adults aren’t getting the adequate amount of calcium needed to maintain strong bone health. Whether we’re trying to cut down on our fat intake, we’re lactose intolerant, or we just aren’t big milk drinkers, most of us aren’t getting the amount of calcium we need on a daily basis to keep our bones strong. To make sure you’re getting what you need (1,000 to 1,300 mg daily), supplementation is necessary.

The Essentials for Women multivitamin offers 900 mg daily while the Essentials for Men multivitamin provides 800 mg daily, a great supplement to your regular IsaLean® Shake, leafy greens, fortified cereal and low-fat milk.

Wondering how you can fit in all of these supplements AND save money? We have a simple solution that will save you nearly $30 off wholesale pricing of each individual supplement while also providing a convenient way to take them!

The Isagenix Ageless Essentials™ Daily Pack for Men and Ageless Essentials Daily Pack for Women features two small daily packets that contain just the right amount of these vitamins and minerals along with blends of antioxidants, botanicals and other key nutrients. The best part? Isagenix Master Formulator and Founder John Anderson says pairing this dynamic vitamin pack with the 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System and all of the Isagenix products actually improves the nutritional benefits and is “essential” to your Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing lifestyle!
