Don't Dine Without Enzymes

Viktoras Kulvinskas, scientist and champion of natural health, has a favorite saying:

"Don't dine without enzymes!"

And I don't. Ever. If I can help it.

Studies show that taking enzymes with meals has multiple benefits, including:

• better digestion
• fewer digestive side effects
• more absorption of nutrients from food
• less drowsiness after eating

In short, dining WITH enzymes will make your co-workers feel more comfortable around you after a meal (just kidding!) and will also support your digestion so you feel better,

One more note: In order for enzymes to work properly, they have to be able to "survive" the assault of stomach acid and remain active. Some enzymes survive this acidity, some don't. The SBGZymes and ZymesPlus have both been proven via studies to pass safely through stomach acid. It's a sure bet you are getting all the digestive support you can from these two forms of enzymes.

Probiotics for Constipation Relief

Did you know that almost 20 million people in the U.S. are
looking for constipation relief? That's the number of people who
suffer from constipation in this country. That's bad news.

The good news is that there are probiotics for constipation
relief. What are probiotics? They are the "good" bacteria that
live in your gut, helping with everything from digestion to the
production of B-vitamins (which are beneficial for good moods).


Are You Seeking Constipation Relief?
If you are tired of laxatives and stool softeners, you are on the
right track. While the occasional use of these products can help
move your digestive tract along, long term use leads to
dependence. Your digestive tract simply stops working because the
laxatives and stool softeners are taking care of business.

The thing is, you WANT your digestive system to be strong and functional. A healthy digestive system not only helps your body absorb nutrients, but also boosts your immunity.

Natural Solutions for Constipation Relief
Luckily there are natural solutions for constipation relief. One of the best options is to add probiotics to your daily regimen.

Why do you need to add probiotics if these beneficial bacteria already live in your gut? That's easy ... lifestyle choices can kill probiotics, leaving room for harmful bacteria to take up residence in your gut. For instance, drinking chlorinated water, living under chronic stress, or eating unhealthy foods can all
kill the probtioics in your gut. This in turn can lead to digestive upset, and have you seeking constipation relief.

The really cool thing about probiotics is that they are easy to add to your daily regimen: just pop some capsules filled with live probiotics in your mouth, swallow with non-chlorinated water, and voila! Probiotics added.

Effective Probiotics for Constipation Relief
One way to ensure that you are getting the most out of your probiotics supplement is to use a full spectrum probiotic product. For example, Spectrabiotic from Simplexity include 8 different types of beneficial bacteria, as well as blue-green algae, which supports the digestive tract.

Spectrabiotic is verified to be active. That means that when it is manufactured, each two-capsule serving contains at least:

• 825 million active L. acidophilus bacteria
• 495 million active B bifidum bacteria
• 10% each of the other six key beneficial bacteria
• Jerusalem artichoke, acerola, and rose hips (helps probiotics stay active)

The recommended dose is 2-4 capsules daily before bed. Many a sufferer has found constipation relief and digestive support with this regimen, with many experiencing changes in their digestion within 24-48 hours.

Best of all, this solution for constipation relief is all natural and supports the beneficial bacteria that are meant to live in your gut. Natural is good. Constipation relief is even better!

Anxious or Nervous? Maybe Your Brain Cells are Starving

Did you know that if your brain cells don't get adequate nutrients then they can begin to starve? And when your brain cells starve, it can affect your mood, causing you to feel tired, anxious, nervous, or depressed. When your brain cells are not functioning, the rest of your body is bound to be affected.

Part of the reason that brain cells have a tendency to "starve" is because they need special micro-nutrients that can pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB).

For those of you who want to know something about the BBB (and are fans of Wikipedia), check out this definition:

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a separation of circulating blood and cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF) maintained by the choroid plexus in the central nervous system (CNS). Endothelial cells restrict the diffusion of microscopic objects (e.g. bacteria) and large or hydrophillic molecules into the CSF, while allowing the diffusion of small hydrophobic molecules (O2, hormones, CO2). Cells of the barrier actively transport metabolic products such as glucose across the barrier with specific proteins.
 
In other words, nutrients have to be both small enough and paired with the right proteins to cross the BBB. These kinds of nutrients are mostly found in whole natural foods.

Sound too complicated? No problem. The Omega Sun of the blue-green algae is a specially stripped-down version of the algae cell, and can pass through the BBB. This is why Omega Sun is touted to help with mental clarity, memory retention, and mental energy. It's got "the right stuff" to pass through the BBB's protective wall.

So if you're feeling anxious, nervous, tired, grumpy, out-of-sorts ... then you might want to consider whether your brain cells are starving. Maybe you have been feeding the rest of your body just fine, but neglecting your brain cells. If so, you may want to try the Omega Sun algae, and then think about this whole article from the beginning!

Nutritional Supplements: Getting More Bang for Your Buck

In a world where the cost of nutritional supplements comes
directly out of your pocket, you definitely want to get the most
bang for your buck. We applaud you for the fact that you are
taking active measures for caring for your health by choosing to take nutritional supplements. Yes!

And, we want to help you get the maximum out of what you take. One of the best ways to maximize every molecule of the health supplements you take is to improve your digestion. After all, what's the point of pouring hundreds of dollars worth of nutritional supplements down your throat if your body can't absorb it? If your body absorbs only half of the supplements you ingest, you might as well be throwing the other half in the trash!


So how do you improve your digestion to improve absorption? In 3 easy steps!

3 Easy Steps to Maximize Nutritional Supplements
Improving your body's digestive function can be quite simple. You
just need to break your day into three different time periods:

1. When you eat
2. When you digest
3. When you rest

Let's take a closer look at each step.

1. When You Eat
When you eat (including when you take nutritional supplements
like healthy smoothies), you can increase your body's digestive
ability to taking enzymes at the same time. Just because you eat
healthy food and take nutritional supplements doesn't mean your
body can use them directly. Many times, enzymes and other
co-factors need to be present before your body can break down and
use the nutrients in food and supplements.

Taking enzymes when you eat a meal ensures that your body can
break down and absorb the maximum nutrition from what you eat.
Enzymes also ensure that you are less likely to suffer from
stomach upset or indigestion, which is really nothing more than
your body telling you that it can't fully process what you have
just eaten.

Taking enzymes between meals can also help. When enzymes are not
needed in the digestive system, they are released into the rest
of the body to scavenge for toxins and for cellular health and
replenishment.

Simplexity's SBG Zymes and SBG Zymes Plus are enzyme formulas
that help your body digest what you eat, and are proven to
survive longer in the digestive system than many other types of
enzymes on the market.

2. When You Digest
Long after you have eaten or taken nutritional supplements, your
body continues the digestive process. To maximize nutritional
absorption during the digestive process, you need to have healthy
bacteria in your small and large intestines. These bacteria,
known as probiotics (literally meaning "for life") live in your
gut and help your body further break down anything you swallow.

The bad news is that these "good bacteria" can be killed off by
stress, chlorinated water, toxins, and poor nutrition. The good
news is that you can repopulate your gut with these bacteria by
taking probiotic supplements. For instance, you can take
Acidophilus to repopulate the bacteria in your small intestine,
and you can take Bifidus to repopulate the bacteria in your large
intestine. It's as simple as that.

We recommend taking Acidophilus in the morning (before breakfast)
and Bifidus at night before bed) with pure spring or well water.

3. When You Rest
Whenever you rest, your body has a chance to rejuvenate and
reinvigorate. You can help your body's digestive function when
you rest simply by living a healthy lifestyle. A healthy
lifestyle might include actions like drinking plenty of water,
meditating, participating in daily exercise, and enjoying life.
Will these directly help your body maximize the nutritional
supplements you take? Absolutely! Your body is incredibly
responsive to your lifestyle, and the more appreciatively you
treat your body, the more it will repay you in kind!
