    Turkey Challenge Day 12 

    YOUR CHOICES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR SUCCESS

    On the surface, you probably don’t look like you have changed much, but you have.  Think about how good you already feel.  Here are some of the reports we are hearing after just 4 1/2 days:

    “I was drinking a pot of coffee everyday and I GAVE UP Coffee!”

    “I never make it to the gym this much.  I am lucky if I fit it in 2 or 3 times a week .  I have gone everyday so far.”

    “I got my wedding ring on again- no more puffy hands.”

    “I was making cookies with my kids and I accidentally licked the batter spoon and had to run to the trash to spit it out. lol This is great!”

    “I could button my pants today without jumping.”

    These are all good reasons to Stick with IT!  Today you are probably feeling like things are getting easier.  Today, is just another Day, but it’s really much more than that. It’s Official Day 6 of the Challenge (Remember that we took 6 Days to prepare.) and we are half way to our goal. If you are following an Isagenix Program it is a Shake Day.

    Today, you’re working on removing the barriers that have prevented you from experiencing good health in the past.

    Since you’ve been Eating Right or following the Isagenix 9 Day System, your body has been nourished with vital nutrients to strengthen your body from the inside out. You have also been giving your body enough rest, enough to drink and you have been exercising!  Congratulations!

    So, what else have you been doing?
    Think about this: Over-farming, pesticides and processed foods have created an incredible burden on our health. If a body isn’t receiving the nutrients it needs, it will attempt to get more nutrients by triggering food cravings and hunger pangs. This can lead to overeating, which in turn contributes to obesity and poor health.

    The nutrients found in the Isagenix® products bridge the gap between the low level nutrition found in regular food and the high level necessary to attain optimum health. With each Shake and Cleanse Day, you are providing your body with nutrients designed to help you achieve the best health possible. You are retraining your body to be hungry only when it requires nutrition.

    Here’s a little bit more information:  Research shows that a reduced-calorie diet high in nutrients helps people lose weight and live longer and now recent studies show nutritional cleansing can also help.

    Want to know How and Why cleansing works?

    Check out the Medical Study Specific to Isagenix:  http://www.cleansemyself.com/medicalstudy.pdf

    Then Look at these RESULTS  Research and Science team presented scientific posters on Wednesday, April 28, on the findings of two clinical studies on Isagenix products in Anaheim, Calif., at Experimental Biology 2010.

    To see an abstract of the nine-day study, click here.  (Take a look at this! This is what is happening to you body during the challenge!)

    Both of the pilot trials showed positive results and attested to the efficacy of IsaLean Shake and Cleanse for Life for supporting adults with healthy weight loss, maintaining healthy lipid profiles, and feel better about their weight, health and energy levels.

    Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

    Q.  Why didn’t these studies report measures other than those for healthy weight loss—body composition and lipid profiles?

    A. We chose to evaluate the impact of our programs on these parameters since these type of data would help provide Proof of Concept, or further substantiation of our efficacy as sought by the FDA and the FTC. Please be aware that successful weight management not only reduces risks of various disease by normalizaing plasma lipids and reducing abdominal fat, but also, with our products, alleviates both undernourishment and exposure to stored toxins. 

    As a person loses weight, toxins stored in adipose tissue are also released as the fat cell shrinks. These molecules must be transferred  to the liver where the detoxifying enzymes makes them water-soluble so they can be excreted in the urine or bile.

    (THIS IS SO COOL AND WHY CLEANSING IS THE MISSING LINK IN MOST DIETS!)

    Isagenix seeks to help solve weight management, undernourishment and toxicity with its programs—IsaLean Shake and Cleanse for Life are not only excellent for lowering caloric intake for weight management, but provides a tasty, nutrient-dense food  designed  to maximize nutrition and provide supportive botanicals that promote natural cleansing and detoxification in the body.

    Q. Both studies showed  significant decreases in plasma lipids, yet we are not allowed to claim “cholesterol lowering”. How come?

    A.  Scientists discuss results that were obtained. They are not marketing their results and, therefore, must describe the data they have. Companies selling dietary supplements are not allowed to say their products can “lower cholesterol” or affect other plasma lipid biomarkers because FDA deems those as drug claims.

    Q. Who funded these studies and where were they conducted?

    A. Isagenix funded both studies and each were conducted at New York Chiropractic College  where Dr. Balliett was the Principal Investigator and Dean of the Basic Sciences Department.  Isagenix proactively searched for a university who could conduct these studies according to Good Clinical Practice, get Institutional Review Board approval and have the clinical expertise to run a nutrition study on weight loss and body composition.

    Dr. Balliett became interested in Isagenix through her students and eventually was appointed to our Technical Advisory Board (TAB). As a member of the TAB, she remains an impartial resource who does not distribute Isagenix products.

    Q. Does Isagenix plan to perform more research with New York Chiropractic College and other universities?

    A. Yes, Isagenix is actively engaged in assessing the needs for more  clinical studies that may further support the efficacy and safety of our products.

    Q. Have there been any clinical studies performed by independent parties that have not been funded by Isagenix?

    A. We are not aware of any researchers who have studied our products in clinical trials. It is not typical for medical researchers to study products from private industry if not properly funded.

    Q. Why hasn’t Isagenix funded medical doctors to perform their research?

    A. Studies for dietary supplements and foods are best conducted by experts in the field. Sometimes that may be a professor with a medical degree, but most often these type of studies are best done with Ph.D.s at universities or contract research firms who have expertise in weight loss. Federally funded organizations such as National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, etc. do not necessarily wish to support research on products from private industry, particularly if  the studies are not mechanistic or related to diseases. Thus, it is up to individual companies to set aside research dollars to conduct third-party research. That is not to say we would not find a partner at a medical school to conduct research, but it would still have to be funded by us.

    Success is all about believing in yourself and it’s easier when you can have belief in the products too!

    Have a great day!

    21 Reasons to Cleanse and Replenish With Isagenix 

    21 Reasons to Cleanse and Replenish With Isagenix

    Total Body Internal Cleansing is hot topic, and for good reason. We live in a very toxic world. Herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives and synthetic drugs can have an adverse effect on our cells, internal organs and state of health. 20 million pounds of antibiotics were injected into our farm animals last year alone. There are so many insecticides and pesticides on our fruits and vegetables that these noxious chemicals seem to have become part of our food pyramid. We are chronically exposed to harmful substances.

    Because our soils are poisoned with chemicals and pollution and are continually stripped of their nutrient base many of our foods are not supplying our bodies with the necessary nutrients – primarily minerals – to perform optimally. The nutritionally bankrupt body is an invitation to illness and disease.

    America is in a true health crisis and preventable diseases are out of control. Cardiovascular disease is epidemic, 44 million people suffer from arthritis, 18 million have diabetes, 17 million suffer from asthma, 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer and 18 million children are obese. For the first time in history we are actually seeing a decline in the American life-span.

    According to the Journal of American Medical Association, obesity, poor physical activity and the resultant associated illnesses are overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in this country. Obesity cost America $117 Billion in 2000 according to the Surgeon General. Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:

    • Heart Disease and Stroke

    • Type II Diabetes

    • High Blood Pressure

    • Osteoarthritis

    • Gallbladder Stones and Dysfunction • Sleep Apnea

    • High Cholesterol

    • Chronic Back Pain

    • Bladder Control Problems Such as Stress Incontinence

    • Complications of Pregnancy

    • Severe Depression

    • Cancer (Uterine, Cervical, Ovarian, Breast, Liver, Multiple Myeloma, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Pancreatic, Colon and Prostate)

    “Visceral” fat (fat carried in the abdominal area) poses an even higher risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Supporting our body’s natural cleansing abilities helps combat this problem.

    Since 1976, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been engaged in the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS). In this study, adipose (fat) samples were taken from cadavers and elective surgeries from all regions of the country and the levels of toxins were measured. Twenty toxic compounds were found in 76% or more of all samples! These ongoing assessments have shown quite clearly that it is not a question of if we are carrying too many toxic compounds, but how much and how do they harm us. The ever increasing illness and disease in this country are indicative of how vital it is to cleanse and replenish NOW!

    [1] Strengthen The Immune System. Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with high grade essential nutrients supports the immune system. Some studies indicate that a healthy dose of high grade, absorbable protein may strengthen your immune system by as much as 500%.

    [2] Love Your liver. A clean, healthy liver supports metabolism and burns fat. A healthy

    liver promotes normal thyroid function and when the thyroid is healthy, your metabolism and energy levels escalate.

    [3] Support Healthy Brain Chemistry. When 3 your body can effectively absorb and digest fats and protein, it converts these nutrients into healthy brain chemicals. When your brain chemistry is aligned, you will make healthier food selections.

    [4] Restore Antioxidants. Toxic compounds create “free radicals” that have the potential

    to damage cellular DNA. Antioxidants are substances that block free radical formation and destroy already formed free radicals.

    [5] Free yourself from stress. In herbal medicine, adaptogens are used to help the body

    “adapt” to imbalances that stress the body externally or internally. Replenishing the body’s needed adaptogens assists in the body’s own self-regulatory systems, thus reducing stress.,

    [6] Maximize Absorption Of Essential Nutrients. Maximizing absorption of nutrients helps to fuel the internal body to support all major organ systems including the circulatory, musculoskeletal and neurological systems.

    [7] Aid Digestion. Herbs such as suma, peppermint, fennel seed and licorice have been used

    in many cultures to support and aid in digestion. Peppermint is a nontoxic digestive remedy that can provide relief from gas, bloating, nausea and gastric upset. Peppermint has a calming effect on the smooth muscle of the intestinal tract and is felt to promote the flow of bile from the gallbladder into the small bowel, thus aiding in the digestion of fats.

    [8] Rejuvenate Your Cells With Ionic Minerals. Minerals are the key to enzyme activation in

    our digestive tract. When minerals are present, our intestines allow for ultimate absorption of vitamins and essential nutrients. Modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive/elimination organs. Ionic (charged) minerals are the most easily absorbed by our body.

    [9] Support Your Vital Organs. If your body is overwhelmed with impurities, gentle cleansing herbs and essential nutrients can allow it to eliminate impurities through the liver (the major detoxifying organ of the body), colon, urinary tract, sweat glands, skin pores and the lymphatic system much more effectively.

    [10] Lose Weight And Feel Great. Studies have shown that fat cells can provide the perfect environment for holding onto impurities. This is our body’s natural mechanism for protecting itself from dangerous, possibly deadly impurities. Cleansing aids in the body’s ability to flush fat and increase metabolism.

    [11] Eliminate Unhealthy Cravings. The healthy body will crave healthy things. The unhealthy body will crave unhealthy things. Cleansing and replenishing allows the internal body to create an environment that craves good, nutritious food.

    [12] Enhance Cellular Communication. Our cells want two things: good nutrients and a clean environment in which to communicate. Cleansing provides our cells with both.

    [13] Build Muscle. Cleansing and then replenishing with natural organic whey protein provides the body with essential amino acids that are the building blocks for the development of lean, dense muscle.

    [14] Restore Normal Sugar Levels. Abnormal sugar levels have been linked to serious health challenges and are often the result of weight gain. Effective weight loss and fueling of the body can aid in the body’s ability to restore normal sugar levels.

    [15] Beautify the Skin. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Cleansing and replenishing rejuvenates our skin, making us appear younger and more supple.

    [16] Create Abundant Energy. Better sleep cycles may be achieved through cleansing to provide the body with stamina, energy and mental clarity throughout the waking hours.

    [17] Balance Your Hormonal System. Cleansing and replenishing can balance hormone levels and lead to a feeling of constant well being, increased stamina and increased sexual desire.

    [18] Slow the Effects of Aging. Toxins and nutritional deficiency can lead to premature aging

    on an internal and external level. Cleansing and replenishing allows our cells the ability to attack the affects of aging head on. A younger appearance along with incredible energy is often the result!

    [19] Renewed Desire To Exercise. Often times when you cleanse and replenish the body with high grade essential nutrients you have a renewed sense to start an exercise program The health benefits of exercise are endless.

    [20] Enhance Elimination. Refined. processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, lack of exercise,

    dehydration and an ever-increasing level of stress all contribute to an irritable bowel and to sluggish elimination from the intestinal tract. Cellular cleansing and replenishing with fiber rich nutrients allows for better colonic elimination of impurities and is essential in the prevention of intestinal disorders.

    [21] Ultimate Quality of Life!! Cleansing and refueling the body is a revolutionary approach to optimal health and weight management. “Traditional Diets” are often imbalanced and neither strengthen the immune system nor rid the body of toxins. Imbalanced diets rob the body of essential nutrients and only offer temporary results, Why not embrace a program that gives your body the right nutrients, the right balance and the ability to once and for all chronically defend itself against the battle of the bulge?

    Taking the Mystery Out of Toxicity 

    It has been estimated that each day we are exposed to over 4000 different dangerous chemicals, toxins and pollutants in our daily lives.  These along with processed foods, nutrient poor diet, some modern medicines and a stressful and busy lifestyle can take a toll on the body.

    Are you toxic?

    The human body is a miracle and in ‘normal’ quantities the body is able to process and destroy these toxins, but with so much chemical and toxin exposure now occurring our bodies are  struggling to keep up. These environmental impurities can build-up inside inside the body, clogging and damaging cells.  There damaging effects have been shown to cause or aggravate a range of health problems, including weight loss efforts.

    Nutritional Cleansing With Isagenix

    Cleansing has been used throughout history and gives the body the chance to rest, regenerate and assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities to promote long-term wellness.  Nutritional cleansing is the modern version of an ancient practice.  Nutritional Cleansing systems, such as the Isagenix cleanse, improve upon this ancient practice with a system that cleanses, replenishes and revitalizes the body with essential nutrients. Fasting helps to remove impurities from the body, but Nutritional Cleansing speeds up this process by infusing the body with much needed healthy nutrients.

    Benefits of nutritional cleansing

    The are a wide range of reported benefits of nutritional cleansing, some of the most common include:

    • Reach and maintain optimum weight
    • Improve digestion and bowel function
    • Get more energy and better concentration
    • Feel energized and regain optimum health

    Toxins In Our Diet 

    Tonight there will be an interesting investigation into Toxicity in AMERICA-
    Watch CNN’s “Toxic America Investigative Report”
    tonight with Dr. Gupta 8pm ET.
    Fact:  Toxins are all around us!  They are in our soil, our water, our air and our FOOD.
    Fact: Our bodies are over whelmed buy these impurities.
    If you haven’t all ready see FOOD MATTERS at http://www.foodmatters.tv/
    Here’s what you are going to Learn There:  “Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food” – Hippocrates. That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film Food Matters from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

    With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what’s wrong with our malnourished bodies, it’s no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. Food Matters sets about uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide ‘sickness industry’ and gives people some scientifically verifiable solutions for overcoming illness naturally.

    “With access to better information people invariably make better choices for their health…”

    In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several leading experts in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

    The focus of the film is in helping us rethink the belief systems fed to us by our modern medical and health care establishments. The interviewees point out that not every problem requires costly, major medical attention and reveal many alternative therapies that can be more effective, more economical, less harmful and less invasive than conventional medical treatments.

    The ‘Food Matters’ duo have independently funded the film from start to finish in order to remain as unbiased as possible, delivering a clear and concise message to the world. Food Matters.

    Pesticides Predicament 

    There’s no easy way around it.  If you are eating food you are consuming pesticides.

    We always hear about the benefits of organic food, but most of us are not listening!  One-third of all of our fruits and vegetables consumed in the United States are still covered in pesticides.

    Pesticides are poisons!  They are sprayed on fruits and vegetables with the intent to kill pests, but they hurting us too?

    ‘Research shows that some of them – called neurotoxins – can harm our brains and our nervous systems. One recent study found that children with a high level of a certain pesticide had an increased chance of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental disorders similar to autism. Other pesticides, which mimic hormone activity, can possibly reduce fertility. And scientists recently discovered that exposure to one of the most common weed killers increased weight gain in animals by 10%.’

    That’s right!  Eating fruits and vegitable might actually be making you FAT!

    ‘In Seattle recently,  researcher study the effects of  ‘going organic’ and found that this sudden change in diet can immediately affect our health in some very possessive ways. Group participants urine was tested.  These were typical suburban kids just like yours and mine.   Testing found that pesticide levels were above those considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in ALL of these children. The same kids were then switched to all organic diet.  They still eat all the same foods, but a much healthy version.  The pesticide level in their urine dropped in less than 24 hours. When the children were returned to their regular diets, their pesticide levels shot right back up above the EPA safety limits.’

    Have your whole Family Go Organic!

    https://i0.wp.com/www.hardygardening.com/images/farmers_market_bounty.jpg

    Remember, fruits and vegetables with thicker rinds such as bananas, oranges, and avocados will have lower levels of pesticides than those with more permeable skin such as potatoes, carrots, apples, pears and strawberries.  Also, try to find seasonal and local produce, which will have a lower pesticide level, because it does not have to travel far to get to your table and CLEANSE regularly.  Regular cleanse can help the body perform as the natural detoxifier it was built to be.

    Let’s face it.  With all the poisons on our tables our bodies can get over whelmed with impurities.  Regular cleansing may help the support the body and promote your good health.

    Soil, Air, Water Quality Diminishing Health 

    “Laboratory tests prove that the fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago. No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health….”

    Does that sound good to you?  Didn’t think so.  What if I told you that those tests were from 1936?  Yes–73 years ago there was already a decline in soil mineral balance.   This was before pesticides and herbicides, and hormones, and genetically modified fruits and vegetables.  So you can only imagine what our food supply is giving us these days–extremely little nutrition.

    Not only is the food we eat not giving us enough nutrition, but our cells are not absorbing the nutrients as well as they can.  Due to air, water, and soil pollution in today’s world, we are consuming and absorbing impurities that block our cells from getting what it really needs.

    So what does that mean to us?  What can we do to get the nutrients that we need?  We can cleanse our bodies with a whole body cleanse (not a specific organ cleanse such as liver or colon),  and supplement our diet with much needed high quality nutrients.

    Isagenix offers just that.  “Cleanse for Life” cleanse drink cleanses your body on a cellular level while also providing key nutrients to nourish your body.   “Isalean Shakes” contain the highest quality of nutrients in the world, including exclusively sourced IsaPro® Complex.

    There is no doubt that these products are helping thousands of people achieve greater levels of health.  Get on board at http://www.getmecleansed.com
