Colon cleansing is one of the most important steps (and overlooked) when attempting to lose weight, shape the body, flatten the waistline, correct the digestive and eliminative systems, relieve certain health problems, and achieve optimum health.  Colon cleansing can also help to jumpstart weight-loss programs and keep you on track when you reach difficult plateau periods.  One of the most important and immediate benefits from the regular, cleansing bowel movements you will experience from colon cleansing is that your daily weight loss will be accelerated.

JANUARY! Weight-loss month in particular. It is now estimated that over 61% of Americans are overweight. The obesity epidemic is spreading rapidly. If you want to lose weight fast and want a quick fix, well, it takes a combination of exercise, diet and fat burners, plain and simple. Stay Healthy! has fat-loss supplements that work, but only with a solid nutrition and exercise program. Our fat-loss kit includes meal replacement powders, nutrition bars, and fat burners. Ephedra is not an option anymore, so manufacturers now have a new category of fat loss products called non-ephedra thermogenics. You will see in this fat-loss class ingredients like 7-keto DHEA, which does not convert into the sex steroids (testosterones and estrogens) but has the benefits of DHEA (increased energy, sex drive, and fat loss without any unwanted side effects). 7-keto DHEA increase levels of the thyroid hormone T3, which can lead to an increased metabolism and greater fat burning. Here are some more of the top fat burning nutrients available today: caffeine in the herbal forms guarana and kola nut, bitter orange, green tea extract, coleus forskohlii, cayenne pepper powder, guggulsterone, l-carnitine, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). These are all effective fat-burning products, and when combined with diet and exercise, will lead to permanent weight loss. Call us at 877-2494 or stop in at Stay Healthy!  soon to learn much more. We have detailed literature available also. Happy New Year, Peace, Prosperity, and Love.
Thank you so much for your patronage.

Jenny's Jive: We live in a time & place where being overweight is an epidemic.  Your metabolism- (how your body converts food into energy & then burns that energy as calories) slows down as we get older. Fewer calories are burned & more are stored as fat. As we age we tend to lose muscle & gain fat. Since muscle burns a lot of energy, our energy needs diminish as we lose muscle & our metabolism slows. Eating large amounts of refined sugars can upset the metabolic balance. Refined sugars lack the vitamins & minerals required for their own metabolism & must draw on our body’s reserves of these nutrients. Another pound-packing issue is refined “empty-calorie” foods likely to cause us to gain fat and over-eat. By the time we’ve filled up on these concentrated calories, fiber-poor foods, we’ve eaten more calories than we need. The excess turns to fat. There’s hope! Your metabolic rate isn’t completely beyond your control. Aerobic exercise & strength training are good ways to combat the overweight issues that plague us today.  Another suggestion for losing weight & maintaining high metabolism levels is to look at our eating habits.  One writer suggests that the difference between being slim & overweight is this: some people eat only when hungry, eat whenever they like, & stop when the hunger subsides. Overweight people constantly think about food & dieting, eat whenever they see food, & stop eating only when all the food is gone.

Jeff’s Positive Vibrations:
Being overweight is one of our nation’s biggest health concerns, and along with heart disease and stress cause many unwanted health problems. Our fast-paced lifestyles and our artificial eating habits have caused us to become overweight and out of shape, giving us all kinds of health problems. If you are to have the perfect body, you must educate yourself and know all the full ramifications of putting the wrong kinds of food into your body. The first step towards a slender, healthy body, is a house cleaning. By that I mean a colon cleanse. The colon is our sewer system and requires regular cleansings. Not cleansing the colon is like having every garbage collector go on strike. The accumulation of garbage in your body creates putrid, unhealthy waste and gases, that spreading poison. In conclusion, more and more people are becoming health conscious, but the nutritional needs of the body must not be neglected, otherwise the body will break down, like a racehorse that has been overworked.

J.C. Speaking Words of Wisdom
When it comes to controlling weight loss, motivation leads the way.  Only a proper weight management program will lead to long-term success.  Try not to think of it as a diet but a new healthy lifestyle. Be very specific with your desired outcome and set goals. A journal will be key to following your plan and seeing your progress.  Make up affirmations to motivate yourself, such as “I will do what it takes to be lean and healthy” etc., and repeat it daily first thing in the morning and before bed. I also would recommend hanging pictures up that inspire you, like someone in good shape working out. Visualization is very powerful when it comes to programming your mind/body connection in order to make physical changes. Taking it slow is better then trying to fast once a week or extreme dieting.  A natural whole food balanced diet is better then any new fad diet. Greens can be very beneficial for building the blood and balancing the blood sugar levels, and can help control food cravings. Try one of our store favorites “5GREENEST” for a good boost of natural energy. Herbs can also be very helpful to increase the thermogenic (fat burning) properties of the body, herbs like cayenne, ginger, green tea, etc.  Have questions, we’ve got answers. Happy New Year!

Nik Notes: There are methods of losing weight that are healthy, such as dietary changes and exercise.  In contrast some methods can harm you as you lose weight.  Diet pills that have stimulants can be damaging or even addictive if taken continua0lly for longer than they should be.  Do not take any diet pill everyday!  Stimulants increase metabolism by raising your blood pressure and circulation.  This practice leads to adrenal fatigue and slowing of the metabolism as the body becomes unable to provide its own energy.
