However, they still find it hard to wake up in the mornings, have regular bowel movements, keep their skin looking healthy and vibrant, and to maintain the appropriate energy needed to perform at their top level of efficiency.
In today’s hustle and bustle society sometimes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a good night’s sleep are simply not enough for the average active adult. Don’t wait until you find yourself “sleep working” before you decide to make a life change. Nor, should you wait until your boss finds you in that same embarrassing situation.
Start supplementing your diet with eight essential things that are guaranteed to make you a healthier and more energetic “super person”.
1. Water
Be sure to intake at least 64 ounces of water daily (8-8oz glasses). Increase your water intake on the days that you work out by an additional 24 ounces. More than two thirds of our body weight consists of water. It only takes a 2% drop in the human body’s water supply to trigger signs of dehydration. Our brains are made of 95% water, lungs 90%, and blood 82%. According to freedrinkingwater.com, an estimated seventy five percent of Americans have mild-to-severe dehydration. Signs of dehydration are:
• Daytime fatigue
• Fuzzy short-term memory
• Difficulty focusing on smaller print
2. Green Tea
Loaded with cancer fighting antioxidants, green tea is essential for increased energy and metabolic rates (metabolism). In addition, it also helps to reduce bad cholesterol levels, while assisting the arteries to help improve blood flow. The recommended dosage is no more than 3 cups.
3. Omega 3-6-9
Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as Omega 3 and omega 6 are essential fatty acids that our bodies cannot manufacture, so they must be consumed in our diets. Omega 9, on the other hand, is not as essential because our bodies can manufacture it from other sources. The benefits of taking an Omega 3-6-9 supplement are:
• Lowered blood pressure
• Improved glucose metabolism
• Improved joint and muscle health
• Increased growth rate of hair and nails
• Improved skin health
• Improved cognitive function and emotional health
4. Flaxseed
Flaxseed is not just a super food. It is addressed as a “wonder food,” according to WebMD who considers it to be one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet! The main health qualities that makes flaxseed so nutritious is that it contains omega 3 fatty acids, lignans (containing plant estrogen and other antioxidant qualities), and both soluble and insoluble fiber.The health benefits of flaxseed are:
• Prevents and inhibits tumor and cancer growth
• Helps in regulating and normalizing the heart beat
• Helps with diabetes to improve blood sugar levels
• Reduces inflammation caused by Parkinson’s disease, asthma, clogged arteries, and damaged joints and muscles.
• Helps with woman’s hot flashes
Try adding flaxseed to your yogurt or breakfast smoothies.
5. Detox Supplement
Taking a detox tea or pill supplement at least once a week helps to cleanse the body of impurities consumed from daily diets, prescription medications, and air born toxins. Eliminating the body of excess impurities helps to maintain total body health and promotes weight reduction.
6. Vegetable Vitamins
We all want to think we are getting all of the servings of fruits and vegetables we need each day, but most of us are not. For the people that are, it is hard to get all the servings every single day.
Super Juice is a Daily Multi Phyto-Nutrient vitamin formula made from vegetables, fruit and botanical plants. It does not replace whole fruits and vegetables, but it is a supplement designed for people who may not be getting all the Phyto-Nutrients from their diets alone.
7. Emergency
This powerful blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants is designed to:
• Boost immunity
• Increase energy levels
• Increase metabolism
• Replace key minerals and electrolytes like potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium lost through perspiration and regular bowel elimination.
8. Aloe Vera Juice
When 2-4 ounces of Aloe Vera juice is consumed twice daily it can help to:
• Detoxify and cleanse the colon
• Detoxify the blood stream
• Heal stomach ulcers and help the digestive tract to work more smoothly
• Improve circulation
• Increase cellular growth and regeneration
• Prevent illness by acting as a antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent
Always purchase Aloe Vera juice made from 100% pure Aloe Vera.
Aloe juice can have a very bitter taste. However, some Asian aloe drinks are designed to be very tasty and somewhat enjoyable. Most farmers markets and Asian markets sell them for under $3 dollars.
