Family and Friends Depend on Your Good Health

Last Sunday we attended a small town church service. The pastor is a fired up retired military dude. His message was excellent and moving. He preached on John 15:13. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends". One part of his msg stood out, "in the military we trained daily and kept fit so that we could count on each other" . . . what I heard was, "train daily and keep fit so that your family and friends can count on you." Here's the Q, "can your family and friends count on your good health? . . .

Weight Loss Secret: It's All About Blood Sugar

"We're taught that losing weight simply comes down to burning more calories than we take in. Nutritionist Mark Macdonald says it's time to think differently. He describes the importance of blood sugar when it comes to weight loss and how that determines if muscle or fat gets burned". Mark MacDonald, Body Confidence

Maximizing Cardio. Turning Your Body Into A Fat Burning Machine.

Optimizing your exercise is never about doing more...it's always about maximizing what you're doing. Stable blood sugar triggers the release of stored fat & your cardio + strength training burns that fat up. Key point to remember with your cardio is that approximately 50% of your body is red muscle & 50% of your body is white muscle. Diversifying your exercise is how you turn your body into a fat burning machine. Here's a great graphic that shows exactly how to maximize your cardio & if time is tight here's a quick 10 minute workout Dr. OZ and I did together that activates both your red & white muscle...

MonaVie Neutralizes Free Radicals, Controlling Damage of Oxidate Stress.

The importance of keeping the cells in your body healthy is significant and the question is “How do my cells become unhealthy?” Below is a picture of the damage free radicals cause in the body.

 

Cells are under constant attack by FREE RADICALS. Free radicals are aggressive, reactive substances (scavengers) that are naturally formed in our bodies when we breathe in oxygen or burn food for energy. Free radicals also come from outside sources including excessive exercise, stress, pollution and poor diet. Free radicals contribute to the aging process, which is natural. But excessive amounts can cause tissue damage and even lead to certain diseases. These molecules or atoms are deficient of an electron, rendering them unstable. What happens next? The electron imbalance causes the free radical to steal an electron from another healthy molecule. This creates an unhealthy chain reaction. The once-healthy molecule turns into another free radical, which also goes in search of an electron, and the cycle continues.

The effects of excessive free radical damage can be widespread; free radicals attack and oxidize the cell’s membranes (lipids and proteins). Free radicals also damage the mitochondria, the cell’s main energy source. And, the oxidation caused by these free radicals disbands key enzymes and hormones, hindering the bodies’ natural ability to grow, fix themselves and cope with the everyday stresses of life. Last, DNA may also be attacked by as many as 100,000 free radicals daily. Free radicals may play a role in many disorders (see graphic).

The only way to neutralize free radicals in the body is to have enough antioxidants. MonaVie makes this easy and affordable. Just two ounces of any of the MonaVie juices per day gives your body the equivalent antioxidant protection of 6.5 servings of fruits and veggies.

Four Levels of Health

Once you know your starting point (speed of metabolism), your next step is to set your goals for your body fat percentage & antioxidant score. Stabilizing your blood sugar by eating in 3’s will get your hormones balanced & body fat % diale...d in...this ignites permanent weight loss & drop in inches. I look at this as your “external health” because you can visually see & feel the progress. Your “internal health” is your antioxidant score, this gives you a view of your cellular health, which directly affects metabolism, inflammation, stiffness & soreness, etc... many things you may feel, but cannot see.

Increasing your intake of fruits & veggies (loaded in antioxidants) and/or supplementing with quality liquid antioxidants to fill the gaps is the easiest way to have an optimal antioxidant score. I have attached two images, one is body fat % levels based on your goals. Basically everyone should be at least a moderate level of health regarding body fat % (page 49 in Body Confidence). The image of the VIEW scanner is how you test your antioxidant level, if your score is red, orange or yellow you have low antioxidant levels & a high free radical load (not the best). Your goal is to be green, blue or purple (ideally blue or purple), this means you have high antioxidant levels to optimally protect your cells against free radicals.

What’s interesting is many athletes have an excellent body fat %, yet a low antioxidant score...this is a recipe for disaster and is what can attribute to tendentious, pulled muscles, slow recovery, etc... My point being, just because you might “look the part” does not mean you are rockin your health.
My suggestion is get your body fat % & antioxidant score, then you will become clear on the two best non invasive forms of measurements that provide the greatest reading of your “internal & external” health. Then you simply implement the right strategies & get both your body fat % & antioxidant score tested every month to ensure you are achieving your goals. Lets keep making our health happen!
