What Can You Do About High Cholesterol?

1. It isn't just those who are overweight that get high cholesterol. How much cholesterol you produce is mostly genetic. 75% of the cholesterol in your body is produced in the liver & other cells.
 

2. Both good(HDL) & bad(LDL) cholesterol are important, because HDL clears LDL from your blood. Omni Smart® is Omnitrition's® oral chelator.  It roto-rooters your blood vessels from plaque.

3. Eating 2 apples a day lowers your overall cholesterol by 14% & lowers LDL by 23%.

4. What else can you do to help? Increase your physical activity, quit smoking, & lose at least 10% of your body weight can increase your HDL by 20-30%.  Take Omni 'Drops'® & drop all the weight you want.  I lost 35# in 6 weeks.  It is fast & easy.

5. Did you know babies that are breast fed ingest 6x the amount of cholesterol than the average adult? Early exposure to cholesterol may improve the bodies ability to metabolize cholesterol later in life.

I don't know about you, but I would much rather take nutritional supplements & exercise than take medication, that have side effects, for cholesterol. My side effects have been feeling great! Many were able to quit taking medication for cholesterol & high blood pressure by taking Omni Smart®, as well as, losing weight on the Omni 'Drops'®.

5 Steps to Reversing Diabetes

A staggering 350 million people around the world have diabetes with the U.S. being among the worst! That means more heart attacks, more strokes, & a shorter life expectancy. The advice is simple, but sometimes hard to follow. Eat right & exercise more. What do the experts suggest?
1. Have a salad When you are eating high-carb foods, make sure you eat a salad. Also, best to have dressing with vinegar in it. Consuming 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar can lower your blood sugar by as much as 42%.	There are many different kinds of vinegar including: apple cider, distilled white, white & red wine, rice, balsamic, sherry, malt, cane, & coconut. Each comes in different amounts of carbs or sugars. When following the Omni Drops® diet, one must adhere to the correct kinds allowed. Otherwise, you might gain weight or your weight loss might not set properly. Apple cider is one of the best for this diet plan. Must check bottle labels for amount of grams of sugar. You want the lowest amount. Any vinegar made from grapes, such as white & red wine vinegars, are not allowed. Also, rice & balsamic vinegars have too many sugars as well. Using Omni Drops® is a fast easy way to lose weight.
2. Cook your pasta right Saute your pasta in extra-virgin olive oil, and throw in some vegetables while you are at it. This method will help keep your blood sugar steady.
3. Get up & move Too much sitting makes your blood sugar rise. Try to move at least 30 to 45 minutes a day.			Let OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® help balance your sugars.
4. Getting enough sleep If you don't get at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night, your risk of developing diabetes, or making it worse(if you already have it), rises by 37 to 88%. Keep your bedroom as dark as possible to sleep longer & better.		Omnitrition's Nite Lite® helps me get my best night's sleep.
5. Exchange nuts for potatoes Potatoes make your blood sugar rise & over the years will most likely make you gain weight. Nuts, though may be high in fat, will help you lose pounds. Just eat a handful of nuts instead of chips or fries. Almonds, pistachios, & peanuts have been shown to keep blood sugar even.			Phaso Trim® is Omnitrition's natural carb blocker.  It blocks many of the calories from eating carbohydrates.

What Is the New Fruit That Is Great For Bones?

Have you heard? Guess what is the new fruit that is good for your bones? It seems they serve a benefit that was unrecognized before. Yes, that is right, prunes! They are good for your bones! Unbelievable! But in fact, according to nutrition researcher Bahram H. Arjmandi, RD at Florida State University, midlife women who ate 10 prunes per day for a year slowed their bone loss substantially. If 10 sounds like a lot, then 3 is ok. Arjmandi says even 3 daily prunes can make a difference. Since women can lose up to 20% of bone mass in the 7 years after menopause, he has learned through decades of study that prunes are the most bone-friendly fruit.
I am all for natural fixes, myself. That is why I drink Omnitrition's Thermo Herbal Tea®, which increases bone density. Tastes great, too!  It has so many other good qualities including:
Includes highly beneficial effects of DHEA(Research indicates that DHEA has been shown to improve or stabilize signs and symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus.)

10 Ways To Help Reduce Your Cancer Risk

1. Increase your fiber Not only does fiber keep you regular, but studies also suggest that it may decrease your risk for developing prostate and colon cancer. High fiber foods include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. 2. Decrease dietary fat Particularly saturated fats. These fats are found in foods such as butter, high fat dairy, fatty meats, sausages and gravies. Total dietary fat should make up no more than 30% of your total calories. 3. Exercise Reducing your cancer risk does not stop at the dinner table. As we age, we tend to lose lean tissue. The loss of lean body mass and an increase in body fat contributes to increased risk for cancer, heart disease and diabetes, so it's important to make exercise a part of your weekly routine. 4. Eat more Tomatoes Tomatoes are high in lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Men with high lycopene intakes have decreased risk for prostate cancer. Other high lycopene foods include watermelon and papaya. 5. Meatless Meals Try a meatless meal once a week. Choosing meatless meals is a good way to make sure plants are a big part of your diet and a great way to save money on groceries. 6. Eat More Fish Increasing the amount of cold-water fish in your diet can decrease your risk for a number of diseases. The omega-3 fatty acids found in cold water fish, such as salmon, can help decrease inflammation in the body. Another good source of omega-3 fats is flax seed meal. 7. Serve more selenium Studies indicate that people who have lower levels of selenium in their diets have increased risk of cancer. Two Brazil nuts will give you all the selenium you need. 8. Have pumpkin seeds Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc. Like selenium, zinc in a mineral that we use as an antioxidant. Zinc is required for normal prostate function and also helps protect your vision. 9. Don't Overeat! Overeating puts stress on the body. When we take in more calories that we expend, this causes weight gain. Excess body weight increases risk for prostate and colon cancers as well as heart disease and diabetes. 10. Learn to relax The physiological effects of stress can be detrimental. Stress contributes to the development of many chronic diseases. So, find what works for you, but take the time to relax, kick back and enjoy life!   Let Immune Defense® give your body the support it needs for a healthy immune system.

The Benefits of Vinegar

Did you know that vinegar has great health benefits? 1.Reduces arthritis pain! Just one teaspoon each of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of water is an old folk cure that some people still swear by. 2.Helps diabetes by keeping blood sugar more balanced. As little as 2 tablespoons of vinegar with a meal can stop after-meal sugar spikes and improve insulin sensitivity! According to recent academic studies, vinegar slows the rise of blood sugar levels after you have eaten a meal, & when taken at bedtime lowers morning blood sugar levels. 3.Vinegar can shrink belly fat, too?! A Japanese study reveals that mixing 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a daily drink for 12 weeks significantly lowers abdominal fat!
Vinegar can be made from any fruit, or from any material containing sugar.  Vinegar is a fermented and acidic liquid used in a variety of recipes. There are many variations of vinegar, such as white, rice and apple cider. Most types of vinegar are fat-free and low in sodium and calories. Vinegar is also devoid of vitamins but contains minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Vinegar contains carbohydrates and sugar, so consumption should be moderated by those watching their sugar intake. 1. Calories One cup of distilled vinegar contains about 30 calories. Red wine and cider vinegar have approximately 50 calories per cup, while balsamic vinegar contains over 200 calories per cup. 2. Sugar A cup of white vinegar contains approximately 12 grams of sugar. Balsamic vinegar has about 50 grams of sugar per cup. 3. Potassium Most types of vinegar contain a small amount of potassium. A cup of distilled vinegar contains 36 milligrams of potassium.

Apple Cider vinegar as well as many other types of vinegar are widely used for their culinary and medicinal benefits.

Each vinegar type has its own taste characteristics which go well with certain kinds of food found in various regions. Herbs, spices and fruits can be infused in the milder ones to produce herbal vinegars or flavored vinegars with greatly enhanced tastes which you can tailor make for your cooking needs.
There are many different kinds of vinegar including: apple cider, distilled white, white & red wine, rice, balsamic, sherry, malt, cane, & coconut. Each comes in different amounts of carbs or sugars.

It is Flu Shot Season!

It is flu season & you see "Get your flu shot" signs everywhere. My experience with getting the flu shot has not been good. I always got sick afterward & I know others who have had the same experience. Since taking Omnitrition® nutritional products, I have not gotten sick. I attribute that to taking Omni4 ® on a regular basis, as well as, taking Immune Defense® whenever I feel I am coming down with a cold or flu. No flu shots for me. I even went to Mexico when they were worried about the flu & didn't get sick. I, also, work in a hospital with all kinds of illnesses.
