How can a BioActive Protein help me lower my LDL cholesterol?
A recent study found that men and women with moderately high cholesterol, 210 to 270 total count, had a 6% drop in total cholesterol after just three weeks of taking an immunoglobulin supplement. More importantly, LDL cholesterol, or the “bad” cholesterol most closely associated with heart disease, decreased by 7% while HDL, the “good” cholesterol, remained constant.
Malabsorption of vital nutrients, decreased digestive efficiency, inflammation, bowel problems such as diarrhea and leaky bowel, muscle weakness and joint soreness: this is only a partial list of what can happen when the gastrointestinal tract isn’t functioning optimally. Protein ExtremeTM acts to prevent these conditions from occurring in the first place, and to help you get rid of them if you are already suffering from them.
How does a BioActive Protein protect my Gastrointestinal Tract?
These five tips could make the difference between just treading water when it comes to maintaining your health, and coming out ahead with increased energy reserves. (include these 2 lines in the email)
1. Eat Well
This seems like it should go without saying, but many people don’t realize the extent to which every single thing you eat affects your body chemistry. Foods either boost your energy or deplete it, they either donate electrons or rob you of them, they either harm or heal. So, while the supplements you take work to energize your cells and keep them working in optimal condition, if the foods you’re consuming aren’t healthy, then you’re making it harder on yourself. Look out for upcoming posts on how to optimize your nutrition, foods to avoid (some will surprise you!) and recipes.
Our health comes down to the health of our cells. They literally make up our entire bodies, so it makes sense that if they’re in good working condition, so are we. When our cells can’t do their job properly complications arise, and we experience the so-called side-effects of aging. The formula for aging, from this perspective, is mistakes over time – small mistakes your cells make that compound and snowball out of control. One such mistake is electron loss over time, but taking anti-oxidant supplements isn’t enough to fix this because of an associated problem – cellular ‘current’ loss. Let’s look at why this is the case and what we can do about it:
Coconut oil is an energy supplying medium chain triglyceride (MCT). MCTs have been found to increase cell respiration and mitochondrial energy in an immediate and stable way. Coconut oil contains antioxidants, as well as monolauric acid, which has been found to possess anti-microbial and immune enhancing properties.
Well known as a spice used in Eastern cooking, turmeric possesses cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties. During and after most workouts, your body has a higher than normal free radical load, and both your electron supply and electron transfer systems become depleted, creating pro-inflammatory conditions. The combination of immunoglobulin concentrate and turmeric found in Protein Extreme Energy very quickly supports the correction of the pro-inflammatory electron depletion.
Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and regulate stress and energy output. Intense exercise can overwhelm the adrenals and eventually burn them out, leading to chronic fatigue, bags under the eyes and reduced performance.
Nourishing the adrenals alone is not enough, however – stimulating the adrenals without opening the surrounding pathways of the nervous system (or, from the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine, the meridians) is like increasing the output of an electricity generator in a home with faulty wiring.
rganic cocoa does much more than just improve the taste of the product. It supplies more antioxidants than red wine or green tea, helping to fight cancer-causing free radicals in the body. Cocoa contains several neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine and andandamide, which help improve mood. It also contains the appetite-suppressant Phenyl Ethyl Amine (PEA), a compound that controls alertness and mental awareness.
Our body’s energy is produced through a process known as cellular respiration: this is where your cells use the nutrients you’ve ingested through food, along with the air you breathe, and transform them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the fuel for cellular energy. For a cell to ‘breathe’ at optimal levels, there are two systems that need to balance each other: oxidative and reductive.
Immunoglobulins are antibodies – proteins that your immune system uses to fight against intruding viruses and bacteria. Over 60 clinical studies have been published on the therapeutic effects of Immunoglobulins. The hormone-free immunoglobulin concentrate in Protein Extreme Energy is similar to the colostrum found in breast milk, serving both as a supply of high-quality, absorptive protein and as an immune booster. It delivers antibodies to your gut where they fight against disease-causing organisms and inflammation, allowing your body more energy for other tasks.
