It is rich in minerals that are important for good health, too.
Potassium One tablespoon of yellow mustard contains 21 mg of potassium. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, your system needs potassium to send electrical signals inside your body, to contribute to digestive health and a steady heartbeat, and to allow the muscles to contract properly. Most adults need an intake of about 2,000 mg of potassium per day.
Phosphorus There is 16 mg of phosphorus in each tablespoon of yellow mustard. It is a mineral that contributes primarily to the development of strong teeth & bones, but it is found in every single cell of the body. It contributes to the body's usage of protein, carbohydrates & fats, to kidney & heart function, and to the processing of the B-complex vitamins, among other purposes. According to National Institutes of Health online medical encyclopedia, adults need 700 mg of phosphorus per day.
Calcium The other mineral your body primarily uses to build your teeth & bones is calcium. It, also, contributes to muscle & nerve function. Each tablespoon of yellow mustard contains 9 mg of calcium. According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, adult men need 1,000 mg of calcium per day; adult women need 1,000 mg per day until age 50, and 1,200 mg per day thereafter.
Magnesium One tablespoon of yellow mustard, also, provides 7 mg of magnesium. Your system needs magnesium for such purposes as processing & using energy. According to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, a typical adult male needs 400 to 420 mg of magnesium per day, while a typical adult female needs 310 to 320 mg of magnesium per day.

What Stool Colors Say About Your Health

Borrowed from RealAge Tip By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen, MD
When your body's gastrointestinal tract isn’t functioning correctly, stool colors can tell you what's going on in your insides & whether you might have bowel problems. Here's a guide:
1. Medium brown is the color of healthy feces. Keep your gastrointestinal system running smoothly with these rules for regularity:
5 Rules for Regularity 1. Listen to your body. When you feel a bowel movement coming on, go to the bathroom as soon as you can. This may require overcoming any aversion you may have to using bathrooms outside your home. 2. Get your fill of fiber. Increase the amount of dietary fiber in your meals by adding whole-grain breads & cereals, raw vegetables, and fruit. Aim for at least 25 grams of fiber per day, and minimize your intake of low-fiber foods, such as meat, cheese, refined sugar, pastries, candy, & anything made with white flour.
	Fiber N Mor® is Omnitrition®'s Fiber with Psyllium Husk. Fiber N Mor® helps with various intestinal issues including, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. The fiber in Fiber N Mor® brushes the inside of your intestines & helps to keep you more regular.
3. Stay hydrated. Don't let yourself get thirsty. Drink plenty of water or other decaffeinated, nonalcoholic fluids. 4. Don't skip meals. Eating stimulates the reflex that causes waste to move forward in the bowel. Missing meals decreases this movement. 5. Keep your body moving. Moderate physical exercise, such as walking or swimming, at least four times a week can help maintain regularity.
There are also several food-based folk remedies that may help relieve occasional constipation. Try: Apples or apple juice Carrots or carrot juice Rhubarb Persimmons Hot tea with one tablespoon of honey or molasses Hot broth Tablespoon of olive oil in the morning and evening Spinach juice Sunflower seeds Pitted dates soaked in hot water
The fact is: normal bowel habits varies from person to person & may be as frequent as three times a day or as few as three times a week.
	OMNI 4® is America's Best Liquid Vitamin! Omni 4®, Omnitrition's® original product, contains a delicious blend of orange, papaya, white grape, and aloe juice concentrates.

The Physicians Desk Reference states that 96-98% of liquid vitamins are absorbed by the body versus 10-20% of conventional pill vitamins.  This orange, papaya-flavored drink is a good foundation for all ages, 0 to 100 & older!
2. Pale, gray, clay-like stool suggests a liver problem. Bile from the liver is what makes stools brown; not enough & you get ashy shades indicating anything from gallstones to hepatitis, pancreatitis to cirrhosis. 3. Black or dull red stool is often related to food or meds. You may see black after consuming black licorice, blueberries, iron pills, or diarrhea medication. Call your doctor if you see tarry black stool, which can be a sign of bleeding in the upper intestines or even the stomach. And red? That may come from beets & tomatoes. 4. Green stools aren't just for St. Patrick's Day, although they can be from celebratory beer (it's the green dye). Greenies can also come from eating lots of green vegetables or taking iron or certain medications. 5. Bloody or maroon/red stool is most often caused by hemorrhoids, but red feces can, also, be from intestinal bleeding, so call your doctor.

The Water Fountain of Youth

What happens to a plant when it goes without water for too long? First it begins to droop, and then it becomes dry & brittle. Watering the plant might bring it back, but it will likely have damaged leaves. Water works similarly for people. By drinking water, you moisturize your skin from the inside out, helping to maintain its elasticity & suppleness, which in turn means less droop, less dryness, as well as less damage.
How much water do you need to drink every day? A common recommendation is to drink six or eight 8-ounce glasses of water or other fluid every day. But some adults may need more or less, depending on how healthy they are, how much they exercise, & how hot & dry the climate is.  You may sometimes need to drink more water than usual if you: Exercise intensely, especially in a hot climate. Are sick, such as with the flu, or have a health problem like a urinary tract infection. Are pregnant or breast-feeding.
How can you tell if you are drinking enough water? The easiest way to know if you’re drinking enough fluid is to look at the color of your urine. If you’re drinking enough water, your urine will be clear or pale yellow. A darker yellow means you aren’t drinking enough water. Also, people who drink enough water also usually have soft bowel movements. Hard bowel movements or constipation can be signs that you aren’t getting enough water. If you have any health problems, always talk to your doctor before increasing the amount of water you drink. You may need to limit your fluids if you have certain health concerns, such as kidney problems or heart failure. It might not be a sure cure for crow's-feet, brow furrows, or laugh lines, but improving a few food & behavior choices could help your skin. Some studies reveal that the same vitamins & nutrients that may protect your skin are beneficial to the health of your eyes, teeth, nails, bones, and circulatory system. So if a more youthful appearance overall is what you're after, then skin is only one part of the equation. Eating a diverse diet, with plenty of fruit & vegetables can make you feel & appear younger, as well as bring out a healthier you.

Can Your Diet Give You Wrinkles?

Borrowed from: RealAge Wrinkles may be a part of aging, but that doesn't mean to stop fighting them. Protecting your skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the most important thing you can do to prevent wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration. What about protecting your skin from the inside? Can something as simple as modifying what you eat & drink help to smooth the lines on your face or prevent future wrinkles?  Erase Wrinkles: No . . .,but Look Younger: Yes Studies show that what you eat or don't eat has a definite effect on the health of your skin. As your body's outermost barrier & largest organ, your skin is continuously exposed to various sources of stress, including many environmental factors. So, although a new diet won't clear away all your wrinkles or halt skin aging, nutrition can make a huge difference not only in how you look but also in how you feel.
What Foods Help Fight Aging? Experts suspect that vitamins A, C, & E as well as the minerals zinc & selenium may keep wrinkles at bay by reducing the amount of potentially damaging free radicals produced by skin cells. And carotenoid-rich fruit & veggies like cantaloupe, apricots, carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach may also boost your skin's health. Here's a Tip: Choose fruits & vegetables that have deep green, yellow, orange, & red colors. The intense color means it is full of carotenoids. Minimize your intake of simple or high-glycemic-index carbohydrates, such as enriched bread or flour products, processed & refined foods, candy, & soft drinks. These are often low in nutrients & high in sugar. Instead, choose complex or low-glycemic-index carbs, like legumes & whole-grain breads & cereals.
Healthy Food Choices for Your Skin
Foods with Vitamin A: Spinach, leaf lettuce, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes Papayas, mangoes, cantaloupe Low-fat milk, eggs
Foods with Vitamin C: Red bell peppers, broccoli Peaches, oranges or other citrus, papayas, kiwifruit
Foods with Vitamin E: Nuts & seeds Zinc & Selenium Fortified whole-grain cereals Eggs, low-fat milk

Morning Tricks for Instant Energy

Borrowed from: Liz Vaccariello
Being exhausted is a recipe for overeating. It’s important to find healthy ways to boost your energy levels, so you don’t resort to junk food. I’ve found that these tips help trick my body & mind into feeling more alert. In addition, they’re sure to keep your weight in check too.
	Omnitrition® has Easy to Use Great Tasting Products for Incredible Weight Loss! Including fast & easy Omni Weight Loss Drops® & New OmniTrim Green Coffee Bean Extract®.
	Omnitrition's Charge® Gives you Energy to Face the Day! Who needs more energy?...almost anyone! Full of B vitamins, Omnitrition's Charge® is very helpful with: stress, fatigue, anxiety, energy, focus, & concentration. For those who want to lose weight, it also contains an amazing appetite suppressant, Garcinia Cambogia.
Having a hard time getting energized in the mornings? To feel more alert & keep your weight in check try these simple tips:
1. Getting enough protein. Protein helps persuade your brain & stomach that they’re well nourished & satisfied. Skimp on it & your hunger might lead you to junk food. In a recent study, volunteers whose daily protein consumption fell below 15% of their total calories were far hungrier after breakfast & ate more snacks throughout the day than those whose protein levels exceeded that amount. The extra nibbling put them on track to gain more weight. Hard-boiled eggs & Greek yogurt are great protein-packed breakfast options. 2. Start your day with chocolate. A square of dark chocolate has just the right amount of theobromine to wake you up, but not enough to cause a crash later. It’s, also, full of antioxidants that may decrease heart attack risk & lifts your mood. Try it as a mid-morning snack.
	Omnitrition's Thermo Herbal Tea® is more than a weight loss product. We like to call it a "Health Tonic".  Also, contains theobromine! It contains: 1. Green Tea, which provides a powerful antioxidant & helps protect cells from damage linked to cancer, heart disease & other illnesses. 2. Theobromine aides in cognitive brain function, memory & well-being. It is, also, a natural diuretic. 3. Synephrine burns fat, increases physical performance & helps to build lean muscle mass. 4. DHEA is anti-aging! It decreases body fat & pain as it increases muscle tone, mobility, & life span. It promotes well-being, health & longevity, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces heart disease, improves sleep & helps to prevent cancer, arterial disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease & helps treat Lupus. 5. Tyrosine is a mood elevator, suppresses appetite, reduces body fat, aids in the function of the adrenal, thyroid & pituitary glands. It, also, helps with stress reduction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, allergies & headaches.
3. Drink more coffee. There’s no need to give up coffee or feel guilty about drinking it to jump-start your day. Recent studies have linked coffee to tremendous health benefits, including lowering skin cancer risk by 20%, stroke by 25%, and dying from prostate cancer by 60%. Drink it black or with a little skim milk to minimize calories.
	Thermo Java® is Omnitrition®'s Unique Thermogenic Coffee! Omnitrition's® answer to the coffee drinker, Thermo Java® is formulated to help with weight loss by burning stored body fat & increasing lean muscle mass at the same time. It has the same weight loss ingredients as the Thermo Herbal Tea®.
4. Wake up early. Staying up late may be bad for your waistline, says sleep expert Michael Breus, PhD. People who stay up late & sleep late, also, tend to eat more fast food & consume more of their calories after 8 p.m. than do normal sleepers. In one study, the more that subjects ate after 8 p.m. the higher their body-mass index. One of the easiest ways you can improve your weight loss is go to bed & wake up at the same time every day, preferably on the early side.
	Nite Lite® is Omnitrition®'s Natural Sleep Aide. Nite Lite® is an incredible multi-purpose product. The ingredients in it are formulated to allow your body to get to the metabolic rate(REM) it needs to be at during the night to repair, restore, & rejuvenate. Our bodies were meant to sleep at night. Most of us don't allow ourselves enough time to sleep. Lack of sleep is one of the quickest ways to age your body & set yourself up for diseases & illnesses. Nite Lite allows your body to naturally release the Human Growth Hormone. Lack of HGH in the body leads to increased body fat levels. HGH helps to burn fat while sleeping.
5. Eat something crunchy. Crunchy foods work your jaw more, which can wake up your facial muscles, helping you feel more alert. Munch on an apple with breakfast for an energizing dose of extra fiber. 6. Make the bed. First, this stops the temptation to crawl back into bed & press snooze. In addition, shaking out the sheets gets your arms moving above your heart, boosting your heart rate & invigorating your body.

What is the Connection With Sleep & Blood Pressure?

Borrowed from: RealAge Tip By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen, MD
Did you know there’s a bedroom habit that’s good for your blood pressure? We mean the habit of getting a nice, deep sleep. Nothing feels more rejuvenating. And it turns out that getting enough good sleep, about 7 to 8 hours a night, is key to keeping your blood pressure low. If you're barely getting 6 hours a night, just sleeping one more hour can make a big difference, because not getting enough sleep increases your high blood pressure risk by 37%. Why? When you don't get enough sleep, your nervous system goes into overdrive, boosting your stress hormones & throwing your whole body into high gear. Your pupils dilate, your heart rate speeds up, your digestion slows, and worse, not only does your blood pressure spike, but over time, those stress hormones turn temporary spikes into permanent high blood pressure.

How is your heart health?
	I take Omnitrition's Omni Smart® for a healthier heart & cardiovascular system! Omni Smart®, also known as "liquid drano" for your heart, has minerals & natural ingredients that support heart & blood vessel function. Good for anyone with a heart! Heart attack & stroke are the leading causes of death for people over the age of 50. People who have a family history of heart disease would especially benefit from this product using it preventatively. Helps to lower cholesterol & blood pressure.
Think you can make up for lost sleep by sleeping in on the weekends? Sleep debt isn't easy to pay off. People who get just 6 hours on week nights, then crash for 10 hours on both Saturdays & Sundays, still show strong signs of sleep deprivation. You don't just feel groggy. Chronic lack of sleep is linked to everything from inflammation & depression to obesity. Lack of sleep throws your appetite hormones into a 'give me more' mode, and affects blood sugar levels in ways that up the odds of big weight gains. So get plenty of rest.
	Let OMNITRIM EXTRA ENHANCER® help balance your blood sugar. OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® stabilizes blood sugar levels. It, also, helps to reduce, or stop altogether, sugar cravings, & converts sugars to energy instead of fat. OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® contains chromium, which is an essential mineral. Chromium levels decline with age & most adults are deficient. It reduces the risk of glucose intolerance. Great for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia!

Risk Factors for Alzheimer's

By Mayo Clinic staff
Age Increasing age is the greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is not a part of normal aging, but your risk increases greatly as you grow older. After you reach age 65, your risk of developing the disease doubles about every five years. Nearly half of those over age 85 have Alzheimer's. People with rare genetic changes that guarantee they'll develop Alzheimer's often begin experiencing symptoms in their 40s or 50s.
Omnitrition® has nutritional supplements that are anti-aging.  Including their "health tonic", Thermo Herbal Tea®.  It contains DHEA, which is anti-aging! It decreases body fat & pain as it increases muscle tone, mobility, & life span. It promotes well-being, health & longevity, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces heart disease, improves sleep & helps to prevent cancer, arterial disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease & helps treat Lupus.
Family history & genetics Your risk of developing Alzheimer's appears to be somewhat higher if a first-degree relative, like a parent, sibling or child, has the disease. Scientists have identified rare changes, or mutations, in 3 genes that guarantee a person who inherits them will develop Alzheimer's. But these mutations account for less than 5% of Alzheimer's disease. Most genetic mechanisms of Alzheimer's among families remain largely unexplained. The strongest risk gene researchers have found so far is called apolipoprotein e4 or APOE-e4. Other risk genes have been identified but not conclusively confirmed. Sex Women may be more likely than are men to develop Alzheimer's disease, partly because they tend to live longer. Mild cognitive impairment People with mild cognitive impairment have memory problems or other symptoms of cognitive decline that are worse than might be expected for their age, but not severe enough to be diagnosed as dementia. Those with MCI have an increased risk of later developing dementia.
Omnitrition's Remind® is formulated to provide a healthy amount of Choline to support optimal memory. Choline and the rest of Remind's® ingredients, including vitamins & minerals, is what the brain uses to make the primary neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved with verbal function, the ability to write, read & verbal memory. A good example of what happens when the cholinergic system in the brain fails is what you see in Alzheimer's disease. It, also, has pyroglutamic acid to support memory & communication between both lobes of the brain and DMAE, which helps maintain mental focus & clarity of thought.
Lifestyle & heart health There's no lifestyle factor that's been conclusively shown to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's disease.  However, some evidence suggests that the same factors that put you at risk of heart disease may also increase the chance that you'll develop Alzheimer's. Examples include: Lack of exercise Smoking High blood pressure High cholesterol Poorly controlled diabetes These risk factors are, also, linked to vascular dementia, a type of cognitive decline caused by damaged blood vessels in the brain. Many people with cognitive decline have brain changes characteristic of both Alzheimer's disease & vascular dementia. Some researchers think that each condition helps fuel the damage caused by the other. Working with your health care team on a plan to control these factors will help protect your heart, & may, also, help reduce your risk of dementia.
Omni Smart®, also known as "liquid drano" for your heart, has minerals & natural ingredients that support heart & blood vessel function. Good for anyone with a heart! Heart attack & stroke are the leading causes of death for people over the age of 50. People who have a family history of heart disease would especially benefit from this product using it preventatively. Helps to lower cholesterol & blood pressure.

Lowers cholesterol Raises HDL(good cholesterol) Acts as antacid/helps with acid reflux Speeds wound healing Has anti-bacterial properties-beneficial in healing ulcers Prevents plaque around teeth Aids in lowering blood sugar levels- both Type I & II diabetics Helps reduce blood pressure Relieves arthritic pain Aids the digestive system- irritable bowel, Crohn's disease & constipation
OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® stabilizes blood sugar levels. It, also, helps to reduce, or stop altogether, sugar cravings, & converts sugars to energy instead of fat. OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® contains chromium, which is an essential mineral. Chromium levels decline with age & most adults are deficient. It reduces the risk of glucose intolerance. Great for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia!
Lifelong learning & social engagement Studies have found an association between lifelong involvement in mentally & socially stimulating activities & reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. Factors that may reduce your risk of Alzheimer's include: Higher levels of formal education A stimulating job Mentally challenging leisure activities, such as reading, playing games or playing a musical instrument Frequent social interactions Scientists can't yet explain this link. One theory is that using your brain develops more cell-to-cell connections, which protects your brain against the impact of Alzheimer-related changes. Another theory is that it may be harder to measure cognitive decline in people who exercise their minds frequently or who have more education. Still another explanation is that people with Alzheimer's disease may be less inclined to seek out stimulating activities years before their disease can be diagnosed.

Do You Know Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease?

Borrowed from the Mayo Clinic staff:
1.  Increasing forgetfulness and mild confusion. Over time, the disease has a growing impact on your memory, your ability to speak & write coherently, as well as your judgment & problem solving. If you have Alzheimer's, you may be the first to notice that you're having unusual difficulty remembering things & organizing your thoughts. Or you may not recognize that anything is wrong, even when changes are noticeable to your family members, close friends or co-workers.
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease lead to growing trouble with:
Memory Everyone has occasional memory lapses. It's normal to lose track of where you put your keys or forget the name of an acquaintance. But the memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease persists and gets worse. People with Alzheimer's may: Repeat statements and questions over and over Forget conversations, appointments or events, and not remember them later Routinely misplace possessions, often putting them in illogical locations Eventually forget the names of family members and everyday objects

Tyrosine is a mood elevator, suppresses appetite, reduces body fat, aids in the function of the adrenal, thyroid & pituitary glands. It, also, helps with stress reduction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, allergies & headaches.
Disorientation & misinterpreting spatial relationships People with Alzheimer's disease may lose their sense of what day it is, the time of year, where they are or even their current life circumstances. Alzheimer's may also disrupt your brain's ability to interpret what you see, making it difficult to understand your surroundings. Eventually, these problems may lead to getting lost in familiar places. Speaking & writing Those with Alzheimer's may have trouble finding the right words to identify objects, express thoughts or take part in conversations. Over time, the ability to read & write also declines. Thinking & reasoning Alzheimer's disease causes difficulty concentrating & thinking, especially about abstract concepts like numbers. Many people find it challenging to manage their finances, balance their checkbooks, and keep track of bills & pay them on time. These difficulties may progress to inability to recognize & deal with numbers. Making judgments & decisions Responding effectively to everyday problems, such as food burning on the stove or unexpected driving situations, becomes increasingly challenging. Planning & performing familiar tasks Once-routine activities that require sequential steps, such as planning & cooking a meal or playing a favorite game, become a struggle as the disease progresses. Eventually, people with advanced Alzheimer's may forget how to perform basic tasks such as dressing & bathing.

How to Protect Yourself from Alzheimer’s Disease

Here are 4 steps that can help prevent dementia & keep your memory strong:
1. Get some exercise. Studies have shown that when you start a fitness program, it’s not just arm & leg muscles that bulk up; key portions of the brain do too. According to Dr. Small, “You can build brain muscle,” “You don’t have to become a triathlete. Just park your car farther from your destination. Take one flight of stairs. Start slowly & build up.”
2. Stretch your mind. Crossword puzzles & mental challenges of any kind appear to help prevent Alzheimer’s. Take a class, or talk politics with a friend. As long as you avoid alienating each other, you’ll reap extra benefits, since studies suggest that having a network of friends can lower the risk of dementia by as much as 60%.
	Omnitrition's Remind® is Complete Brain Nutrition You Won't Soon Forget! Omnitrition's Remind® is formulated to provide a healthy amount of Choline to support optimal memory. Choline and the rest of Remind's® ingredients, including vitamins & minerals, is what the brain uses to make the primary neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved with verbal function, the ability to write, read & verbal memory. A good example of what happens when the cholinergic system in the brain fails is what you see in Alzheimer's disease.
3. Feed your brain. Eat well, but not too much: “If you’re overweight at midlife, it doubles your risk for dementia,” Dr. Small says. “If you’re obese, it quadruples it.” A Mediterranean-style diet (heavy on produce, whole grains, & fish) is good because it lowers the risk of diabetes.  Diabetes is a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s.
	Omnitrition® has: Easy to Use Great Tasting Products for Incredible Weight Loss! Including fast & easy Omni Weight Loss Drops® & new OmniTrim Green Coffee Bean Extract®! Check it out! I lost 90# and went from size 22 to 4.
4. Manage your stress. One study found that people who were easily stressed were twice as likely as calmer people to develop Alzheimer’s over a five-year period. Meditation can help. Studies have shown it can increase the size of parts of your brain that control memory. But so can tai chi, getting a massage, & taking an after-dinner walk with a friend.
	PhytoNutrients® is Omnitrition's® Stress Buster! Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention.
Some supplements may help ward off Alzheimer’s disease. What the doctor recommends:
Definitely take a multivitamin! "As we get older, we don’t always absorb all the nutrients we need,” Dr. Small says. “I see it as insurance.”  Also, worth considering is fish oil. People who get lots of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The supplement is safe, as long as you don’t take megadoses, & relatively inexpensive. Curcurmin, also, might help. More research is needed, but this compound, found in turmeric, appears to lower levels of inflammation throughout the body, & like fish oil, may prevent brain changes linked to Alzheimer’s.
	OMNI 4® is America's Best Liquid Vitamin! Most diseases & illnesses can be attributed to lack of proper nutrition.

Why Should Blood Sugar Matter?

How to Fight Off a Cold or Flu with These Foods

Borrowed from;  RealAge Tip By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen, MD
To keep fever, sneezing, runny nose, and other flu/cold symptoms away, do your daily 30-minute walk & eat these five foods to give your immune system a boost.
1. Use the power of healthful protein. One of protein's many jobs is pumping up your ability to make disease-busting antibodies. Stay away from fatty red meats & full-fat dairy foods (they promote heart-hazardous inflammation). Pick up healthy-fat, high-protein foods, such as nonfat dairy, skinless white-meat chicken, ground turkey breast, tofu, fish, nuts, and beans. 2. Load up on colorful foods like: Oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, kiwifruit, which are loaded with vitamin C and flavonoids that help your body churn out protective immune cells. 3. Sip hot tea. People who drink 5 cups of black tea daily produce 10 times more virus-fighting interferon than coffee drinkers.
	Omnitrition's Thermo Herbal Tea® is more than a weight loss product. It is a "Health Tonic". It contains: 1. Green Tea, which provides a powerful antioxidant & helps protect cells from damage linked to cancer, heart disease & other illnesses. 2. Theobromine aides in cognitive brain function, memory & well-being. It is, also, a natural diuretic. 3. Synephrine burns fat, increases physical performance & helps to build lean muscle mass. 4. DHEA is anti-aging! It decreases body fat & pain as it increases muscle tone, mobility, & life span. It promotes well-being, health & longevity, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces heart disease, improves sleep & helps to prevent cancer, arterial disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease & helps treat Lupus. 5. Tyrosine is a mood elevator, suppresses appetite, reduces body fat, aids in the function of the adrenal, thyroid & pituitary glands. It, also, helps with stress reduction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, allergies & headaches. Omnitrition's Thermo Herbal Tea, also, has black tea.  This & Omni IV® helped me to get off medications for asthma & allergies.
4. Eat 100% whole-grain cereals. Oatmeal, shredded wheat, and other whole-grain cereals deliver three nutrients proved to enhance immunity: selenium, zinc, and beta glucan. 5. Spice up your chicken soup. If you get the flu or cold, chicken soup shortens its duration by 50%. One theory about why: Cooked chicken releases cysteine, an amino acid that's chemically similar to acetylcysteine, a bronchitis drug. Up the soup's knockout punch by using infection-fighting garlic and hot red pepper, which contains capsaicin, a powerful decongestant.

Tips to Control Your Appetite

It is the New Year & many have made resolutions. Some resolutions include losing weight. Here are some tips to help control that appetite:
1. Munching on 70 calories of nuts 20 minutes before a meal starts the feeling of being, so you'll eat less at meal time. Good choices include: 6 walnut halves, 12 almonds, or 20 peanuts. 2. Fill your stomach with chunky, low-calorie, raw veggies that signal your brain that you're full. Studies have found that people who start meals with a large low-cal salad eat 12% fewer calories during the meal than those who skip the bowl of leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, carrots, & peppers. 3. Try to eat leisurely. Take small bites, chew thoroughly, and put utensils down in between bites. Take time to enjoy the whole experience. 4. Stop your meal when you're only 80% full. Wait 20 minutes & you'll feel full.
Here are some of my tips to help control my appetite:
	Some know Omnitrition's Charge® as "Energy & Good Attitude in a Bottle". For those who want to lose weight, it also contains an amazing appetite suppressant, Garcinia Cambogia.  If doing the Omni Weight Loss Drops® diet program, be sure to get Charge® in capsule form.
