    Undenatured Whey Protein Shakes important part of cleansing and weight loss 

    “Cleansing” is a hot topic now in the U.S.  especially where I live in Colorado.  So in vogue now,  that it can cause one to just do nothing because of the daunting task to find a safe, reliable, and affordable system.

    There are many products and companies touting that they have the magic juice or ingredient to “cleanse” our body. However, data supports the importance of having a full spectrum nutritional intake to support the body in cleansing using both phase one and phase two pathways.

    The body has 2 main pathways of detoxification called phase one and phase two. Thus, it is important to  support our bodies with a mulititude of ingredients so it utilizes both pathways and not over burden any of our bodies natural cleansing abilities.  No single ingredient or process can achieve this goal.

    One very important component of cleansing to look for is the quality of protein one takes.  Because  Amino acids in protein shakes support the phase two process it is vital to purchase a high quality protein shake that is has a complete amino acid profile and is highly bioavailable.

    Independent testing shows that  bioactive ingredients other than whey proteins are important components in a meal replacement shake.  Some are  Cysteine, and amino peptide factors and growth factors.   When whey is heated the bioavailability of the food is compromised. Having a large array of  ingredients in one system is also economical.

    Look for a source of whey that is not the by product of cheese production, as this can harm the whey because of the heating that is needed.

    As quoted from an article written by Robert Harrison:

    “When the milk goes through a heating process (approx. 163 F), chemical modification and pH regulation to produce cheese. Each of these steps denatures (damages) the whey proteins.”

    Let’s look at one amino acid in particular:  Cysteine vs. Cystine

    “Biologically active whey protein that contains naturally occurring Cysteine is optimal for the intracellular production of Glutathione. If Cysteine undergoes any heating or processing, as all conventional dairy and dairy by-products do, it is denatured and converted to Cystine.”

    Glutathione is produced within our bodies and is vital for supporting phase 2 of detoxification. It is imperative that the protein profile offers our bodies this nutrition for safe cleansing.

    The Isalean shakes are undenatured whey protein from grass fed cows in New Zealand and are processed using a low temperature process.  They have the full amino acid profile needed to support phase 2 of the detoxification pathway.  This makes it the perfect compliment to the “cleanse for life” juice drink which supports the “phase one” pathway.

    Preventative health is more than just eating well and exercising.  It is finding a safe way to help rid the body ofharmful impurties that we encounter everyday. I have found that incorporating a comprehensive cleansing program that is easy to follow into my daily life has taken my health to a new level and has helped me reach my ideal weight and keep me there!

    Isagenix for Breakfast? 

    What's in YOUR Breakfast?

    What's in YOUR Breakfast?

    Do you start your day off with all of the protein, fruits, vegetables, B-vitamins (for energy!), and ionic minerals that your body needs – all in one convenient drink?

    I used to eat cereal or a bagel or some other high-carb/low-protein kind of food, or eggs and bacon – much higher on the protein but also high on the fat!  Often after eating this kind of food for breakfast I felt both unsatisfied and had stomach discomfort – sometimes I wished I hadn’t ate at all!

    That all changed when I discovered Isagenix and realized that if I mixed the IsaLean Shake (protein), the Cleanse for Life (minerals), the Ionix Supreme (vitamins and rare plant extracts), the IsaFruits (FRUIT!), and the Isagenix Greens (veggies! how often do you eat vegetables for breakfast?) all together in one mega-healthy shake I’d be on to something.  Well, I was right.  It’s the best breakfast I’ve ever had – it tastes great, it’s fast, I can drink it in the car if I want and I drink it almost every day (vacations are sometimes an execption but even then I regret it and wish I had just had the shake!).

    Not only does it make me feel good (my stomach – and my belt – thank me) … it helps me start my day in just about the healthiest way possible.  Recently I went to a health seminar (NOT Isagenix related) and there was a medical doctor talking about good nutrition.  Their #1 suggestion – drink a protein shake every morning!  AND if you aren’t getting enough fruits and vegetables (and who is??) – take a fruit suppliment and a vegetable suppliment.  I just nodded and knew that she was 100% right.  Whether you want to diet to lose weight, you’re an athlete who wants to build lean muscle mass and be healthy, want to start your day off with some mental clarity instead of in a post-breakfast FOG, or WHATEVER you want to do you should be starting your day off with something as healthy as this.

    To mis-quote a credit card commercial – what’s in your breakfast?

    Here’s EXACTLY what’s in mine – impressive huh? 🙂

    What makes Isagenix Cleanse for Life™ Drink unique? 

    Cleanse for Life™ has a unique blend of nutrient-rich
    botanicals, vitamins and minerals that support and assist
    in cleansing the body of unwanted waste. Its base is
    comprised of a rare ionic liquid derived through plant
    deposits that have cultivated for thousands of years and
    the mineral base is most important for feeding the body
    what it needs while ridding itself of toxins. No other
    company has such a unique combination that works and
    is a proven success. The cleansing effect gives better
    mental clarity*, renewed energy and allows the body to
    function more efficiently. You should cleanse once a week
    and I recommend cleansing for 48 hours once a month.
