Tips for Diabetes

Nearly 26million children & adults(8.3% of the U.S. population) have diabetes. 18.8million are diagnosed with 7million being undiagnosed. Symptoms include: thirst, hunger, tiredness, blurred vision, problems healing, & frequency urinating. However, not everyone has symptoms. How to prevent or delay serious complications: Plan your meals. Choose from a variety of foods including: vegetables, whole grains, fruits, non-fat dairy, healthy fats & lean meats. Consider portions & eat more non-starchy vegetables than starchy foods & meats. Space meals evenly throughout the day. Be active. Any kind of physical activity will help lower blood sugar levels. Exercise, also, helps boost energy, burn calories, relieve stress, & strengthen the heart. Check with your physician before starting an exercise program. Keep track of your blood sugar. Careful monitoring can show you how your diet, activity, & medications affect glucose. Also, watch blood pressure & cholesterol. Like diabetes, high blood pressure can damage your blood vessels.

8 Tips for the Body You Want

Getting the Body You Want According to Mireille Guiliano, author of 'French Women Don't Get Fat', "Everything is a matter of balance." In other words, getting in great shape doesn't mean you can never eat your favorite dessert. It just means you can't have it every day. What's more, getting fit doesn't have to be difficult, painful, or expensive. In fact, the most effective diet & exercise strategies will fit seamlessly into your life. Here are * easy ways to get the body you want, with less effort than you might imagine.
Avoid temptation. The first rule of being "naturally" slim? Never shop for food when you're hungry! Do your grocery shopping after a meal or snack.
	Omnitrition's Garcinia Cambogia® works as an appetite suppressant, helping to control your cravings, feel less hungry, and also boosts Serotonin Levels which promotes an overall feeling of well-being cutting down on stress factors which may help contribute to weight loss. The HCA extract from garcinia cambogia supplement aids in weight loss by doing two things: It helps to block fat, and it suppresses your appetite. HCA, also, suppresses appetite by increasing serotonin levels. Borrowed from Dr. Oz: This tropical fruit burns an average of 17 pounds in 22 days. Oprah Winfrey Dropped 4 Dress Sizes & went from 237# to 160# taking Garcinia Cambogia. “I lost 28lbs in 4 weeks with No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise!”
	OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® may help stabilize blood sugar levels & "turbos" the thermogenic products, the Thermo Herbal Tea® & Thermo Java® helping them work more effectively.  It, also, may help 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. Chromium helps to promote fat loss & lean muscle tension. It may reduce the risk of glucose intolerance. Great for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia! Julie Guenthner, Buckley, WA- With Omnitrim Extra Enhancer® I no longer have cravings & want to snack all day!
Make your fitness or diet goal public. Tell someone (anyone) your goal. Just mention what you're aiming for in a casual conversation. While setting the goal is most important, saying it out loud is almost as critical. In one study, people who shared their goal to walk 10,000 steps walked 1 extra mile, about 2,000 extra steps, a day. Form a network of healthy, active friends. eam up with a friend who shares your live-healthy goal or join a social or support group. Work out with your buddy, join an exercise class, or work out with a furry friend. One study found that dog owners are about 34% more likely to get enough exercise. Put exercise and healthy foods within reach. One of the best ways to weave healthy, body-shaping exercise and eating habits into your life is to put them right in front of your face. Leave your running shoes by the front door, or park your hand weights & balance ball next to the TV, where you can see them. Stock your kitchen with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, healthy fats, and lean sources of protein. Don't forget to include salsa, herbs, spices, and other healthy indulgences (low-fat yogurt, dried cherries, 76% cacao dark chocolate). Stick with diet and exercise habits that work. Women who were polled about their most clever health & beauty strategies, said they do the same things over & over. Find what works for diet and exercise, and stick with it. In one study, less food variety was associated with successful weight loss maintenance.

Find time to exercise. One of the most common excuses for not working out is, "I don't have the time." But most of us have more time than we realize. It doesn't take a lot of time to move your body a little more than you do now, and every little bit of exercise counts. Look for hidden opportunities to be active throughout your day. Get motivated with self-talk Start thinking of yourself & picturing yourself as a fit person. This may take some positive self-talk at first, but if you see yourself as fit, you're more likely to eat right & exercise, even when temptation strikes. Meanwhile, you’ll be on your way to being healthier & having the body you want! Make 1 change. Pick 1 easy diet- or exercise-related change that you know you can make, and start there. Says Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, RD, author of 'The SuperFoodsRx Diet', "Small steps and strategies do add up. My personal and professional motto is eat well, move daily, and be healthy." Pick one unhealthy habit & trade it in for a healthier 1.
*I made that change when I decided it was time to take control over my health by taking Omnitrition® nutritional supplements.-Gayle Sibat  I can help you get the body you want. Ask me how?

Polyphenols & Longevity

Borrowed from Dole Nutrition News:
Last month we reported on a study which suggested eating fruits and vegetables may help you live longer. This month we offer more convincing evidence that a plant-based diet is linked to a longer, healthier life. This time the researchers reveal an association which might indicate why! The September 2013 multi-institutional study was published in the Journal of Nutrition and shows that survivors had a 14% higher level of a biomarker for fruit and vegetable consumption that comes from the antioxidant polyphenolic compounds responsible for giving fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors.
So, what is the best way to increase your polyphenol intake? Simple, eat more delicious fruits and veggies! Not only might you live longer you could also enjoy healthier skin, lower blood pressure and even protection from cosmic radiation!
About Polyphenols Also known as secondary plant metabolites, polyphenols are natural components of a wide variety of plants. Foods rich in polyphenols include: onions, apples, tea, red wine, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, & some nuts. Polyphenols are subclassified in nonflavonoids & flavonoids. Flavonoids have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease in some studies.
PhytoNutrients® is Omnitrition's® Stress Buster! Phytonutrients® has nutrients that help support the body's natural response to stress so you feel calm & clear.  What are PhytoNutrients?

8 Natural Remedies That May Help You Sleep

Before you rush to the drugstore to buy an over-the-counter sleep medication, try one of the following natural sleep remedies. Many of these can not only help you fall asleep & stay asleep, but they may, also, promote muscle relaxation.  "These are safer and have fewer side effects than OTC medications," says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic and medical director of the national Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers.
Magnesium and calcium Magnesium & calcium are both sleep boosters. When taken together, they become even more effective. Plus, by taking magnesium, you cancel out any potential heart problems that might arise from taking calcium alone. Take 200 milligrams of magnesium, lower the dose if it causes diarrhea, and 600 milligrams of calcium each night.
	Let OMNITRIM EXTRA ENHANCER® help balance your blood sugar. OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® may help stabilize blood sugar levels & "turbos" the thermogenic products, the Thermo Herbal Tea® & Thermo Java® helping them work more effectively. OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® helps leg cramps due to the minerals it contains: chromium, magnesium, potassium, & calcium.
Wild lettuce If you've suffered anxiety, headaches, or muscle or joint pain, you might already be familiar with wild lettuce. It's, also, effective at calming restlessness & reducing anxiety, and may even quell restless legs syndrome. When using a wild-lettuce supplement, take 30 to 120 milligrams before bed.
	PhytoNutrients® is Omnitrition's® Stress Buster! What are PhytoNutrients? 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. Julie Guenther, Buckley, WA- I never go without them. They help keep the stresses of daily life manageable. Gayle Sibat, Winter Springs, FL- Phytonutrients® help me turn my thoughts off at bedtime, so it is easier falling asleep.
Hops For sleep purposes, this extract has been widely used as a mild sedative for anxiety & insomnia. Take 30 to 120 milligrams before climbing under the covers. Aromatherapy Lavender is the trick, as studies have proven that it aids in sleep. It's, also, a cheap, nontoxic way to slip into a peaceful slumber. Find a spray with real lavender & spritz it on your pillow before bedtime. Or buy a lavender-filled pillow. Melatonin Melatonin is the hormone that controls sleep. Although some experts recommend taking higher doses, studies show that lower doses are more effective. Plus, there's concern that too-high doses could cause toxicity as well as raise the risk of depression or infertility. Take 0.3 to 0.5 milligrams before bed.
	Nite Lite® is Omnitrition®'s Natural Sleep Aide.  Contains melatonin. 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. 80% of the population have sleep disorders. Lack of sleep is one of the quickest ways to age your body & set yourself up for diseases & illnesses. When you drink the Nite Lite® 3 hours after your last meal, just before bed, you will not only enjoy the fat burning, muscle building effects, but you are also getting the anti-carcinogenic & anti-tumorigenic benefits that Nite Lite® may have to offer while enjoying the best night sleep that you have ever had. Sleep deprivation is the#1 medical problem in the U.S. today. More accidents occur to sleep deprived people. Nite Lite® may be helpful for people who suffer mild to severe sleep disorders, as well as, people who suffer any type of muscle aches or pains.
Yoga or meditation Choose gentle yoga or stretching, not vigorous power or ashtanga yoga, which could energize you instead. Try easy yoga stretches in bed followed by simple meditation. Close your eyes and, for 5 to 10 minutes, pay attention to nothing but your breathing. L-theanine This amino acid comes from green tea & not only helps maintain a calm alertness during the day, but also a deeper sleep at night. However, green tea doesn't contain enough L-theanine to significantly boost your REM cycles. Take 50 to 200 milligrams at bedtime. Valerian Valerian is one of the most common sleep remedies for insomnia. Numerous studies have found that valerian improves deep sleep, speed of falling asleep, and overall quality of sleep. However, it's most effective when used over a longer period of time. About 10% of the people who use it actually feel energized, which may keep them awake. If that happens to you, take valerian during the day. Otherwise, take 200 to 800 milligrams before bed.

Do You Know the Truth About Your Colon?

Does Disease Really Begin in Your Colon? Research has shown 80% of your immunity is in your gut. 62% of people who have daily bowel movements still have fecal buildup in their colons. This causes gas, bloating, & weight gain. What You Need to Know About Your Colon: No one likes to discuss colon health. But it’s serious business, and learning about it, as well as what you can do to take care of your colon, can help ensure you & your loved ones lead healthier lives. Q. What’s the most important thing to do for colorectal health? A. The best approach to good colorectal health is to maintain a high-fiber diet & drink plenty of water. 8 glasses of water a day helps prevent constipation. A high-fiber diet will help prevent complications of hemorrhoids, anal tears, & will help to prevent diverticulitis.

Why Is A Healthy Colon So Important? The primary function of the colon is to absorb water, electrolytes and some vitamins, as well as preparing and storing fecal waste prior to elimination. The colon, along with the skin, kidneys and lungs, is a major organ of elimination of toxins and waste. If bowel movements are not regular, the waste products and toxins accumulate and can compromise our health. Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality of the food we eat. Consider that over 400 million dollars are spent annually on laxatives in the United States. Every year 140,000 Americans are diagnosed as having colon-rectal cancer. Of this two million Americans suffer from colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis and 100,000 Americans have a colostomy each year. Periodic cleansing of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure to potential cancer causing agents to the colon wall. In Naturopathic medicine, it is believed that 90 percent of ailments come from diet and digestion. Did you know that illness begins in a clogged colon,which causes premature aging and death? It is estimated that the average person, 30 years or older, has as much as 25 pounds of hardened fecal matter lodged in their colon, from meals that were consumed over many years. When you start to cleanse your colon, you will see many drastic improvements in your health for the better. Conditions such as: acid reflux, low energy, headaches/migraines, acne, graying hair, rashes, bad breath, and arthritis start to diminish as the body's immune system begins to kick into overdrive. Digestion and colon health are key to optimal health and vitality. The purpose and function of bacterial flora is to: neutralize, dissipate and prevent a toxic condition from developing in the colon. In a healthy colonic environment, the healthy scavenging bacteria will control the pathogenic bacteria. When too much fermentation and putrefaction is generated in the colon, the pathogenic bacteria proliferate and ailments results. Other Benefits of Intestinal Flora: Plays an important role in our ability to fight infectious disease, providing a front-line in our immune defense. Manufactures many vitamins, including the B-complex vitamins and vitamin K. Produces acids which keep the pH balance in the intestine to prevent disease-producing microbes from taking over. What you should eat: Eat local foods in season, when possible Increase fruits and vegetables Emphasize whole foods, limit processed/refined Choose organic whenever possible Lean protein Drink plenty of fresh, clean water Increase high fibre foods Increase essential fatty acids

What are GMOs?

GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights. Are GMOs safe? Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. How common are GMOs? In the U.S., GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food.
