Who isn’t stressed out & couldn’t use Adrenal Support

    Stressed? Pretty typical these days, so why not support the adrenal glands?  Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee, educate yourself on how to feel better naturally, the way the body intended.  There are several formulations out there, I can help you find the right herb/vitamin combination that stimulates your glands to help control cortisol levels. Here are a few of my favorites….

    Selenium for your Thyroid Health

      Selenium Health Benefits and the Best sources

      Do you have an under active Thyroid? Are you getting the vitamins and minerals needed to support the process?  Here is some info on why Selenium is important to the process.  Soaking your nuts and seeds for best absorption will help your already stressed out body.

      Antioxidant Protection
      Selenium is required for the proper activity of a group of enzymes called glutathione peroxidases. (sometimes abbreviated “GPO” or “GPx” for a glutathione peroxidase enzyme.) These enzymes play a key role in the body’s detoxification system and they also provide protection against oxidative stress. (Oxidative stress is physiological circumstance in which there is excessive risk of oxygen-related damage to the body.) Of the eight known glutathione peroxidase enzymes, five of them require selenium.
      In addition to the activity of glutathione peroxidase, selenium-containing enzymes are involved in recycling of vitamin C from its spent form back to its active one, allowing for greater antioxidant protection.

      Support Normal Thyroid Function
      A selenium-containing enzyme is responsible for transforming a less active thyroid hormone called T4 into the more active T3. As you’ll see below in the Relationship with Other Nutrients section, selenium and iodine work together to keep thyroid function strong and consistent.
      Like the antioxidant protection issue, this is not just an esoteric concern. Researchers have been able to induce problems with the thyroid gland in just two months of a low-selenium diet.
      Probably, if you’ve read about food sources of selenium, you’ve read about Brazil nuts as a strong source of the mineral. Depending on where they are grown, this is likely to be true—one ounce of Brazil nuts may contain as much as 10 times the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) recommendation for selenium intake.
      Other exceptionally selenium-rich foods include oysters, clams, liver, and kidney. Each of these foods is likely to contain double to triple the DRI in a serving.
      Fish and shellfish make up an outsized proportion of our excellent and very good sources. After these come other animal meats, many of which fall in the very good category. Close behind are whole grains and seeds, both of which are well-represented in our good selenium sources category.

              Herb Vs. Spices

                Herb Vs. Spices
                The difference between the two is where they are obtained from a plant.

                Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant.
                Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds.

                We often hear the term “herbs and spices”. As any amateur chef knows, herbs and spices are vital ingredients in many dishes. They add flavor, aroma, color, texture and even nutrients.

                Both spices and herbs are parts of plants (fresh or dried) that are used to enhance the flavor of foods. They’ve also been known to preserve foods, cure illness and enhance cosmetics.

                Herbs are usually grown in more temperate areas than spices and have great medicinal value and are also used in the preparation of cosmetic products.

                Spices are usually dried before being used to season foods. Unlike herbs, they are grown in more tropical countries. They’ve also been known to preserve foods and some have medicinal value, such as turmeric with its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties.

                Despite the above clarification, according to the American Spice Trade Association, spices are defined as “any dried plant product used primarily for seasoning purposes”. This really broadens the definition of spices, allowing it to include herbs, dehydrated veggies, spice blends and spice seeds.

                Here are a few example of herbs and spices, along with their reported nutritional/health benefits.

                Spice Nutrition
                Cinnamon
                Lowers blood sugar levels, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides especially in people with type 2 diabetes

                Ginger
                Can stop nausea and may also relieve heartburn

                Cloves
                Have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiseptic properties; they are known for relieving flatulence and can actually help promote good digestion as well as metabolism

                Chili
                Contains capsaicin which puts the heat in chilies, may lower the risk of skin and colon cancers, shown to suppress appetite and boost metabolism

                Mustard seeds
                Contain phytonutrient compounds that protect against cancers of the gastrointestinal tract; believed to reduce the severity of asthma

                Herb Nutrition
                Basil
                Rich in Vitamin A and K. Assists with combatting bowel inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis

                Oregano
                Assists with inflammation

                Mint
                Helps with digestion and asthma

                Parsley
                Protects against rheumatoid arthritis, antioxidant-rich, fights cancer, high in vitamin C and iron.

                Thyme
                Contains the oil, thymol, especially helpful for chest and respiratory problems, also acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant.

                Old Label vs. New labeling on food-FDA Announement


                  Old vs New Label – What’s Different?
                  While much of the new label’s look isn’t drastically different from the old label, the information and layout have been revamped. According to the FDA’s announcement, the most notable differences between the old and new label include:
                  * Increasing the type size for “Calories,” “servings per container,” and the “Serving size” declaration, and bolding the number of calories and the “Serving size” declaration to highlight this information.
                  * Requiring manufacturers to declare the actual amount, in addition to percent Daily Value of vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium. (They can voluntarily declare the gram amount for other vitamins and minerals.)
                  * Changing the footnote to better explain what percent Daily Value means. It will read: “*The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.”
                  * Adding the “Added Sugars” declaration directly beneath the listing for “Total Sugars.”
                  * Removing “Calories from Fat” because research shows the type of fat is more important than the amount.
                  * Serving sizes must be based on amounts of foods and beverages that people are actually eating, not what they should be eating.

                  Now that you have a better understanding of the new label, let’s discuss some labeling strategies you can use to meet these label requirements without causing major disruptions to your business.
                  Label Tips for Manufacturers
                  Updating your labels can be a pain but with some planning, it can be a much easier process. Below are some suggestions to help you get started on your path to FDA label compliance:
                  * Mask old info with cover-up labels: Also known as “block out labels,” this unique label material allows you the ability to completely cover up the old Nutrition Facts while continuing to use the last of your label inventory.
                  * Embrace a new label look: Updating labels with the new Nutrition Facts can be the perfect opportunity to evaluate your current label design and try something new or make improvements.

                    Collagen I and III Dietary Supplement

                      Collagen I and III Dietary Supplement
                      Collagen M.D.
                      7oz $18.95


                      Collagen Type I & III together account for 90%
                      of the collagen present in the dermis with up to
                      60-80% for Collagen Type I and 15-20% for
                      Collagen Type III. This collection of fibers is
                      responsible for maintaining the structure and
                      resistance of tissues and constitutes a dynamic
                      network which anchors the skin in the deeper
                      layers, thereby creating a support base for the
                      skin. In addition to its architectural properties,
                      collagen also regulates the activity of fibroblasts,
                      playing a role in their migration, proliferation and
                      differentiation, and in their adhesion to various
                      elements of the extracellular matrix.
                      Collagen Type I & III are the main components
                      of hair, nails, ligaments, tendons, muscles, gums,
                      teeth, bones, blood vessels and eyes.

                      In 6oz of water or juice, blend 2 scoops of powder (over 35 years old) or 1 scoop (under 35 years old) or as directed by your physician. Use juice containing Vitamin C or take with a Vitamin C supplement for maximum collagen support.
                      For optimal nutritional benefits, take on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes before eating
                      Do not add to milk or other protein dinks/powders as this will decrease the benefits. May be take with other vitamins and minerals.
