Quercetin is one of nature’s most powerful and abundant antioxidants, found in fruits and vegatables like red apples, grapes and berries. It helps provide sustained energy and supports improved fitness levels.

Scientific research indicates that quercetin mimics the effects of exercise by enhancing the production of the body’s mitochondria, the energy producing units in cells. Traditionally, exercise training has been the only practical way to increase the amount of mitochondria in cells, and in trun, increase endurance capacity.

If you’ve ever admired women who seem to have abundant energy and wondered, “How do I get that?”

I have great news for you.

It’s easy for you to get all the extra energy you want and need-without strenuous exercise, time-consuming programs, artificial stimulants, or spikes or crashes. Impossible? It may have been in the past, but not now.

You see, no matter what you’ve heard from doctors or how frustrated you’ve felt, feeling tired is not natural, and you don’t have to be condemned to a life of exhaustion.

Because of the physical, mental and emotional grind in my life, I soon found myself stressed out, exhausted and increasingly sickly.

If you’re like most women I know, I don’t have to tell you what it’s like to be so worn out, you’re barely able to function. You know.it’s like trying to ride a bike uphill with flat tires or waking up so tired you have to drag yourself out of bed. You just can’t seem to get going.

Things got so bad that everything I enjoyed-painting lessons, playing with my daughter, and socializing-fell by the wayside. I had to give up what I loved doing to have enough energy for what I had to do, like going to work, reading cases at night, and caring for my husband and daughter-all while trying to run a busy household.

Life was less and less fun. I was barely eeking by, wondering when I’d finally collapse in a heap.

Do you often get dead tired? Feel like you’re always running on empty? Have trouble thinking clearly? Struggle with the blues? Look tired and slumped over? If that’s you, take heart. You’re not alone. And I can help.

Many of my clients tell me no matter what they do, they feel trapped in their fatigue due to circumstances and obligations.

In fact, when they come home from work or from being out, they’re so beat all they want to do is flop down in front of the TV. But they have an unending load of chores and family duties that somebody must do (guess who?).

For them-and for you-let me say IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

I have living proof. Today, My wife Kathy’ s 49, her energy and vitality are tremendous and it allows her to continue to work, tend to my family, and enjoy my favorite pastimes. Today, she is stronger and healthier, physically and mentally, than when she was in her 20′s.

How is this possible? And what did she discover that changed her life? In this special issue, I’ll tell you her energy secrets.

An energy breakthrough for women and men

In a moment, I’m going to introduce you to an amazing natural discovery called Tunguska Blast and Vital Heart. It’s one of the best energy formulations designed for women I’ve seen in over 40 years of practicing nutrition and Bio Chemistry. In fact, this natural supplement can.

help support higher energy levels
support short-term energy
promote energy you’ll enjoy all day long
help maintain your physical, mental and emotional energy at peak levels

But first, while you probably know most of the reasons why you feel tired, let me tell you about some of them you may not know. They’re problems that can leave you needlessly run down and flat out exhausted.

Let me start with.

A cause of tiredness and fatigue

I figured if anybody should know why she was so tired and beat down it should have been me. Yet for over three years, I suffered and nothing seemed to help me or her . Not more sleep. Not vitamins and herbs. Not exercise. Not eating the right kinds of foods. Nothing!

But I was determined to show her how to regain her strength and energy and mine too. She had too much living to do to be put on the sidelines. So I began to do extensive research into why we were so tired, and why so many men and women are often tired and fatigued.

What I found is a surprise to most women and men

What I found out is her finely tuned body has the amazing ability to produce energy from the nutrients you consume. That’s the key-YOU produce the energy. But if your body chemistry is even slightly out of balance, this energy is often locked-up, unavailable to you.

The good news is, as you’ll see in a moment, it’s easy to increase the natural energy you want and need.

To do so, you must first understand three key areas of your unique body chemistry that often get out of balance, leaving you physically, mentally and emotionally drained. Let me start with.

ENERGY SECRET NO. 1:
By age 40, your body may produce less of the raw materials you need to sustain long-term energy.
As I told you earlier, your cells can produce all the abundant energy your body needs. But in order to tap into long-lasting energy, you need the right raw materials.

Let me explain.

Each of your cells has little built-in energy factories called the mitochondria. It’s here that the carbohydrates you’ve eaten (in the form of glucose) produce ATP, the energy “currency” your body uses.

ATP fuels all of your bodily functions-those performed by your cells, muscles, respiration, and more.

But in order to make enough body-energizing ATP, your system must have two natural substances, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Acetyl L-carnitine.

Are your cells
energy-starved?

You’ve probably heard about CoQ10, and may even take it. But even so, you may not know why it’s so vital for your natural energy.

CoQ10 is a nutrient found in every one of your cells. It provides the “spark” each of your cells need to turn fuel into energy.

Just like you can’t start a barbecue grill without an initial spark, your body can’t start without CoQ10.

That’s why I’ve included CoQ10 in the Tunguska Blast and Vital Heart formula. Nothing I’ve found helps ignite your natural energy more powerfully than CoQ10.

As you age, your body’s natural supply of CoQ10 diminishes.

But when you eat right, do moderate exercise and supplement your body with CoQ10 and other nutrients, your body can maintain a healthy energy level.

And just as important.

Your body needs
energy “fuel” to feel its best

Acetyl L-carnitine is also vital for energy. This protein-like substance made in your liver and kidneys shuttles fuel from the foods you eat to your mitochondria to be burned as energy, just like a subway shuttles people to and from various locations.

Your body’s natural level of Acetyl L-carnitine declines as you age.

Not having enough Acetyl L-carnitine is like trying to turn on a gas stove with the gas line blocked. You have plenty of fuel, but no way to get it to the stove. Having enough energizing Acetyl L-carnitine is like being able to turn the stove on full blast.

Best yet, when you combine CoQ10 and Acetyl L-carnitine with a healthy lifestyle, you’ll get a stream of long-lasting energy like nothing you’ve ever experienced before! That’s something that no other pair of nutrients can give you!

Eating right, getting a moderate amount of exercise and taking Tunguska Blast and Vital Heart formula can help unleash the long-term energy you need to.

keep up with all that you have to do at work, at home, with your kids and more
start off every day with zest and enthusiasm
be in a better mood all day long
go traveling or visiting with friends like you used to do
go back to school and/or take those classes you’ve put on hold
read that book you’ve been meaning to finish
redecorate that room you’ve had your eye on
rekindle the passions in you life (your husband or partner will love this)
tackle a big remodeling job around your home you’ve been wanting to
have more fun and be happier!
But there’s even more to the unique Tunguska Blast and Vital Heart formula.

A natural breakthrough that balances your brain chemistry, and keeps your mind clear and your memory sharp

If you’re over 40, then you may have had a few moments like these: You forget somebody’s name (isn’t it embarrassing?). You lose your train of thought in mid-sentence. You forget appointments. You sometimes feel like your brain is in a fog. Or you feel sad and you don’t know why.

I know. We both used to have moments like these-and so have many of my Friends. It’s not uncommon, especially with.

ENERGY SECRET NO. 2:
When you’re under stress, your body produces chemicals that zap your mental energy and motivation.

You’ve only won half the battle if your body feels energized, but your mind is in a fog. That’s particularly true for women who are under stress (who isn’t?) because stress triggers the overproduction of neurotransmitters (stress-managing chemicals) including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. With too much cortisol, you’ll find it difficult to think and your mood will be off.

It doesn’t have to be this way! When you support normal cortisol levels, your brain also functions more efficiently, and actually becomes more energized. That terrible mental fatigue will seem to dissolve.

Believe it or not, one of the best ways to promote normal cortisol levels and reduce stress is vitamin C. It helps in the production of several neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are necessary for optimal cognitive function.

But just reducing cortisol levels isn’t enough. To really restore mental energy, I recommend L-Theanine, a little known amino acid found almost exclusively in tea plants. It promotes a state of “alert relaxation”-so your mind will function at its peak but you’ll feel relaxed and less stress. So you can increase the energy that’s on tap in your brain, safely and naturally.

The most overlooked and misunderstood energy problem I see today

ENERGY SECRET NO. 3:
If your body chemistry gets too “acidic,” you’ll tire easily, have more difficulty thinking, and even become pessimistic.
Did you know that in a natural, healthy state, every major organ in your body works around the clock to buffer acids and keep your system slightly alkaline? In fact, virtually all of your cells and tissues contain significant amounts of buffering alkaline substances, such as minerals, oxygen and bicarbonate.

But over time, your body’s ability to buffer acids weakens. And if your cells and tissues are even slightly more acidic than alkaline, you tire easily and are often fatigued. Over-acidity causes your muscles to be fatigued and restricts your physical energy and stamina.

When friends and my wife were tested for acid/alkaline balance, I find many of them are too acidic-and thus, too tired. Why?

There are three main reasons: Diet, lifestyle and premature aging.

Let me explain. The standard American diet is highly acidic, with many foods such as red meat, vinegar, citrus fruits, alcohol, dairy products, refined sugar, soft drinks, and coffee containing large amounts of acidic materials such as sulfur and phosphorus.

To prove this point, the Economic Research Service of the USDA found that the average American eats nearly six times more acidic foods than alkaline foods per year.

Lifestyle can also cause your body to be too acidic. For example, if you’re under physical or mental stress (how many of us aren’t these days!), you use more nutrients and generate more acidic waste products than your body can process and dispose of rapidly.

Frequent airline travel (because of stale, recirculated air), vigorous exercise (which consumes oxygen and creates lactic acid), and over-the-counter medications (which are acidifying) also make your body more acidic-and more tired.

The aging process doesn’t help, either

In addition, as we reach our 40s and 50s and beyond, most of us experience a decline in our ability to balance our acid/alkaline ratio.

For example, oxygen is essential to keeping your body alkaline. Yet your lungs’ ability to take in oxygen declines one percent per year on average. It peaks for women at age 20, but by age 70, your oxygen intake is reduced by half.

What’s more, after midlife, the ability of your pancreas to secrete alkalizing biocarbonate starts to decline.

I know it’s tough to keep diet and lifestyle on balance. Because of your busy schedules, you may have to eat on the run like I sometimes do. When the kids are gone, it’s harder to cook for just one or two.

But the good news is.

You can reduce your acidity and revitalize your natural energy

So what can you do to better balance your acid/alkaline levels, reduce your acidity, and get more energy?

The answer is easier than you can imagine. Through my research and experience with my patients, I’ve discovered two simple ingredients that help maintain the body’s preferred alkaline state. Calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide naturally help to bring out pH levels back to where they need to be in order for us to feel and do our best. Without the right diet and sufficient intakes of these nutrients, our bodies will often rob it from where it can find it-most often our bones.

Most people I talk to have never heard about the over-acidity problem and how it can make them feel so tired. Believe me, they are very happy when they realize the problem can be easily solved.

As I’ve just explained, there are a number of ways for you to get more energy.

But the great news is that Vitalagy and Drink ACT combines them for the energizing results you want. Easy, too.

If it seems like you’re always on the go-and you end up each day dead on your feet, I know how you feel. Like you, I have a hectic schedule working, teaching, writing, and taking care of my family that makes it tough for me to always do the right things when it comes to eating, taking supplements and exercising.

That’s exactly why I want to share the breakthrough Vitalagy and Drink ACT formula with women like you.

As I’ve mentioned, it’s a unique combination of nutrients-based on the very latest research-and specifically formulated for us women. All working to help give you maximum natural energy helps.

Even better, it gives you all of these benefits safely, naturally, and easily!

I stand behind this unique formula and know it works because I take it every day myself. There’s nothing better that I’ve ever seen that gives you all the extra energy you want and need-in a natural, balanced, non-jittery way-than Vitalagy and Drink ACT.

Best yet.

Before drinking, eat a full meal. A full stomach slows down the absorption of alcohol, giving the body more time to process the toxins. Foods high in fat content, like cheese, and carbohydrates will retard the absorption of alcohol. Having food in the stomach also decreases stomach irritation, in turn reducing the likelihood that a drinker will vomit.

Before drinking alcohol, drink a glass of water. This ensures the body is hydrated before the diuretic effect takes hold.

Also, drink a glass of water after every alcoholic beverage. In addition to helping keep a drinker hydrated, this will give the body more time to process the alcohol, dilute the toxins and reduce irritation of the stomach. A sports drink will also replenish electrolytes, salts and sugars lost in the urine.

Wine has a higher percentage of alcohol (7 to 15 percent) than beer (4 to 6 percent), but it is usually not carbonated. White wine is safer than red or blush because it has fewer congeners.

Wine is a mild natural tranquiliser, serving to reduce anxiety and tension. As part of a normal diet, wine provides the body with energy, with substances that aid digestion, and with small amounts of minerals and vitamins. It can also stimulate the appetite. In addition, wine serves to restore nutritional balance, relieve tension, sedate and act as a mild euphoric agent to the convalescent and especially the aged.

The use of standard drinks can help people to monitor their alcohol consumption and exercise control over the amount they drink.

Different types of alcoholic drinks contain different amounts of pure alcohol. A standard drink is defined as one that contains 10 grams of pure alcohol. A standard drink for table wine (12%) is 1 small glass of 100ml. Large wine glasses can hold two standard drinks or even more!

The remedy known as ‘a hair of the dog’ that is, having a drink or two the following morning – is time-honoured. It works up to a point, but only temporarily. The hangover will return when the effects of the drink wear off; it simply prolongs the discomfort. Some people recommend a variety of vitamins, and herbal preparations but there’s no scientific evidence they work.

An effective treatment is physical exercise such as swimming, running or a workout at the gym. This releases endorphins which remove the feeling of a hangover.

Water is a main source of energy for the body. Waiting until you get thirsty is a mistake, because thirst is a sign your energy is becoming depleted. No one lets their car’s gas tank get completely empty before they fill it, yet many people allow this to happen to their bodies by waiting to drink water. Don’t let your body stall on the side of the road! Drink water regularly to keep your body hydrated, and your energy levels at their peak.

Most people don’t consume enough water because they wait until they are thirsty. This is a philosophy perpetuated by the National Academy of Sciences, among others. This theory has been passed down for over 100 years, because during a time when research in dehydration and thirst was being studied by the French, American physiologist Walter Bradford Cannon dismissed this research, claiming through rather gruesome experiments on dogs, that thirst was only a the condition of having a dry mouth.

By waiting until our mouths are dry, we are thirsty. This signal is used when the body fluids are depleted. Dehydration is a serious problem, especially for the elderly. After age 20, our bodies become less and less aware of the sensation of thirst, and become continuously dehydrated. By age 70, the elderly can become obviously thirst and totally dehydrated, and be unaware that this condition greatly affects their health. A scientific experiment was conducted where a group of elderly people were asked not to consume any water for a 24 hour period. The result? When water was made available, many people still did not feel thirsty. Water was left for them, and they would not consume the water. However when young people participated in the same experiment, they quickly corrected the thirst problem and immediately drank the water provided for them.

The easy solution to the dehydration problem, is to drink water regularly throughout the day. The average person drinks about two quarts of water a day, but they need four quarts. Two quarts are consumed through the water content in food. The body needs four quarts of water to produce a healthy two quart flow of urine. This maintains good kidney function and health. If urine is colorless, you are properly hydrated. When it becomes yellow, or even orange, the body is dehydrated and a part of the body is suffering for it. Organs that become dehydrated cease to function properly. Waiting to drink water until you are thirsty can lead to health complications, even premature death.

Before you reach for that sugary soft drink, consider this the next time you feel a little parched: Clean, pure water is essential to every function your body performs. Second only to the air you breathe in its vital importance, it makes up roughly two-thirds of your body. Deprived of it completely, you may not even survive a week. And even the mildest case of dehydration can cause fatigue, dizziness, headaches and muscle weakness. No wonder health experts are constantly telling us to drink more water.

Crucial to the body’s cleansing processes, water lessens the burden on the organs involved in detoxification-mainly the liver and kidneys-by flushing out toxins and waste products. Drinking plenty of water each day also helps prevent constipation by moving food through the digestive tract. A necessary lubricant, it helps to ease elimination and promote regular bowel movements.

As part of a healthy weight loss program, water can help shed the pounds by increasing your metabolism. While the science behind this concept is the subject of ongoing research, studies have shown that drinking more water can significantly boost your metabolic rate and thus burn even more calories. Plus, drinking cold water can increase your metabolism even more, since the body must expend more energy to warm it up.

In addition to these important functions, water also helps to regulate body temperature through perspiration-as sweat evaporates, the body cools down. Water also carries necessary nutrients to the body’s cells; surrounds and protects the joints, organs tissues; and moistens soft tissue such as that of the eyes, mouth and nose.

Everyday functions such as breathing, perspiring and elimination constantly deplete the body’s supply of this vital liquid. Although advice varies as to how much water you should drink each day, a good rule of thumb is to drink at least half your body weight in ounces daily. Try to drink only pure water and avoid caffeinated beverages such as coffee and tea, as well as sugary juices and soft drinks. If you need a splash of flavor in your water, add a spritz of fresh lemon or lime juice. Non-caffeinated herbal teas are also a delicious way to boost your water intake, and many fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of water.

Lifestyle differences such as frequent exercise, illness, environmental conditions (dry, hot, humid, high altitude, etc.), as well as pregnancy and breastfeeding will likely increase the amount of water your body needs, so it is important to be mindful of changes in your daily routine.

Unless you live in the middle of the jungle, you breathe only pure air, eat only organic foods when you’re hungry; and that those foods provide the exact nutritional needs of your body; that you never experience any stress, worry or anxiety and you exercise every single day… chances are that you need to detox.

Just like the dust and crud that accumulates in your house calls for a yearly house-cleaning – “toxins”, extra weight and God knows what accumulate in your body.

We all need to do a regular house-cleaning – and that means allowing your body a chance to heal itself, release the extra weight, release its toxins, and get a fresh new start.

Your body has an amazing self-healing mechanism built right in it, but in order to let it work, you have to give it the rest it needs.

That’s why fasting has been a tradition part of many world’s religions, and almost every alternative health practice recommends some kind of fasting or “detox diet”.

What Is a Detox Diet?

A “detox diet” has nothing to do with going to a rehab clinic for drug abuse. The word “detox” has been used in naturopathic circles in the sense of “removing toxins.” A detox diet allows your body to clean itself of accumulated toxins, stress, and helps it release extra fat and weight.

A detox diet is a restricted diet that you follow, often combined with an exercise program, for a few days or a few weeks (or even longer). It’s sort of like fasting, but it’s easier to do and you can do it at home when you need it.

Signs You Need to Detox

You should be able to know yourself when you need to go on a detox diet. If you’re looking at yourself in the mirror and don’t like what you see, you don’t like the extra weight you’ve been carrying around… then a detox diet can help you get back on track with a healthy diet and release the extra fat..

If you feel you don’t have the energy you once had, or you’re starting to feel a little depressed… a detox diet can help you regain that energy and bring a new level of joy to your life.

If you experience aches and pains, or headaches, and can’t keep up with the stress of modern life, then it’s very likely that a detox diet can help you feel young again, and give you the feeling that “nothing can stop you”.

From having helped thousands of people go through all sorts of detox diets, I know that the rejuvenation it brings and the sense of accomplishment, on top of all the health results, is well worth the discipline it requires to do it.

Example of a Detox Diet

There’s all sorts of detox diets you can choose from. One of my all-time favorites is the Apple Diet. This involves eating only apples for breakfast, lunch and dinner, for one or several days.

The good thing about apples is that they are easy to eat, they are low in sugar, and they contain a fiber that literally acts as a “broom” in your intestines.

When you go on an Apple Diet, all you have to do is purchase the best organic apples you can find, and eat as many as you’d like 3 or 4 times a day.

Here’s a few tips to make this work:

- If you’ve never done this before, only plan to go for the Apple Diet for a maximum of 3-4 days.

- Peel your apples beforehand. Even though the peel contains essential nutrients, it’s also impossible to digest in most cases. Since you’re going to be eating lots of apple, you don’t want to stress your digestion with too much fiber.

- Don’t drink apple juice – even if it’s freshly-pressed. That would be too much sugar, even if it’s natural. You want the natural sugar along with all of the vitamins, minerals and fiber in the *whole* apple.

- Also drink water, about one liter a day, to help eliminate the toxins.

- Instead of eating apples all day long, have 3-4 meals a day with 1-2 pounds of apples.

I recommend the Apple Diet over any other type of “mono-cleanse”, because the apple is the King of Fruits!

Other popular cleanses that I don’t recommend include the Orange Juice Fast, the Lemon Cleanse, or the Grapefruit Diet. The problem with those detox diets is that the level of acidity from these citrus fruits is too high. It can cause many problems with your gums and overall health, and many unnecessary discomforts.

That’s why low-acidity apples are a good choice to do a raw food detox diet.

Get Support and Motivation

Although the concept of a detox diet is simple, most people have a hard time implementing it because of lack of motivation.

It’s not complicated to eat only apples for 3 days, but it’s not easy either. On the first day, you’ll be craving your normal fare. By the second day, you’ll be dreaming about food. But if you stick around, after a few days, you’ll be experiencing the incredible “high”, energy and lightness of beings that fasters experience – and the results will show.

You’ll start to release weight, your hunger for natural foods will come back, you’ll have energy to start an exercise program, you’ll feel better than ever… and when you’re ready to introduce other foods into your diet, you’ll be more likely to make the right choices.

But to get to that point, make sure you get enough support and motivation. Find someone who can help you do a detox diet with you, and get as much information and support as you can to succeed on your cleanse.

Learn to use the power of DETOX in your life… and you’ll start to regain the health and energy that is your birthright.

When people diet they don’t think carefully about what they drink – You need to though.

Eating and drinking are closely linked eat the right foods and drink the wrong drinks and you will reduce your chances of losing weight.

What are the best things to drink when on a diet?

Here we will look at the best drinks to aid weight loss and the ones that can slow down, or make your diet ineffective.

Let’s look at drink and dieting and start with the best drink of all first.

1. Water

Water pure and simple is the single best drink for losing weight and is the most important catalyist for weight loss in ANY diet.

A dieter should drink at least eight glasses of water.

Water is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off.

It acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to hunger pangs.

Many times when you feel “hunger signals”, they are actually “thirst signals”, so before eating, drink a glass of water instead.

Most importantly of all, water helps your body metabolizes stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste.

When you don’t drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy also takes on the task of helping out the kidneys and thus becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.

Drinking eight glasses of ice cold water a day burns about 62 calories because your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to body temperature – That amounts to about 430 calories per week.

2. Alcohol and soda

When dieting, don’t drink to much alcohol or sodas that are high in sugar. They contain plenty of calories and also make you feel hungry. So moderation is the order of the day.

Not all alcoholic drinks contain the same ingredients and have different affects on a diet.

Pure spirits are one of the best type of drinks to consume while on a diet because they contain approx 100 calories and very little in way of carbohydrates.

Examples would be shots of vodka, rum, Bacardi, or gin – With no mixer added.

If mixing these drinks when on a diet make sure you use diet tonic and diet cola’s etc

Wine is ok in moderation and many people like a glass with their meal a typical glass of red or white is both low in carbohydrates and calories.

Don’t go for sweet wines though stay with dry as they are not so fattening.

Beer is full of calories and really when dieting drink in moderation. Keep in mind that a pint of beer can contain a whopping 300 calories.

3. Coffee & Tea

Coffee is fat-free, but drinking it can be detrimental to diets why? – Because even though coffee in itself is fat-free, it is what can be added that hurts your diet.

Low and fat free milk is fine, but avoid cream. Finally, go easy on the sugar, if you have a sweet tooth.

All you have to do is remember that without added sugar or cream, coffee does not contain any calories.

Plain tea does not have any calories before you add your sweeteners and milk.

If you are looking for an option that does not contain caffeine, you may want to check out black or green tea. Many herbal teas possess a diuretic effect.

When it comes to the drinking of iced tea, you need to check the label to make sure that it contains no sugar.

4. Green Tea

A favorite diet drink is green tea.

The benefits of drinking green tea can be seen through the high concentration of antioxidants that can be found.

Studies have also shown that the benefits of green tea for dieting are visible when drinking just one cup a day and weight loss is speeded up.

5. Fruit Juices

When choosing a fruit juice while dieting, you should always look at the nutritional information found on the label.

You need to make sure that the juice is made from real fruit and not the sugar-filled concentrates that are loaded with calories. Providing the juice is natural any fruit or vegetable juice can be incorporated in your diet.

6. Milk

Milk contains calories but if used correctly in a diet can help you lose weight. Make sure that you choose low or fat free varieties that contain far less calories

One of the reasons that milk helps some to lose weight because it makes you feel full. It also aids in bone strength, as well as lowers blood pressure and provides a load of other nutrients our bodies need.

When dieting we all have to drink and the choices we make can have a big affect on how much weight we lose as you can from the above.

By all means enjoy any drink even alcohol but do so in moderation

Is too much coffee draining your energy?

Do you need four to six cups of coffee each day just to stay awake? Is America on a collision course with low energy levels just as it is with obesity?

The lack of energy can be traced to poor diet, stress, food allergies, liver problems, too much sugar, too much caffeine and adrenal exhaustion. The adrenal glands are the big energy regulators in the body. They are just like a bank. If you make a withdrawal, you need to recharge or make deposits before you go to the bank again. That is where coffee begins to become an energy depleter and not an energy builder. Caffeine forces your adrenals to secrete energy hormones even when your body does not have much to offer. Over the years it takes more and more coffee to get the same result. (Do you think Starbucks knows about this?) The adrenals are responsible for releasing more than 150 hormones into your body including adrenalin, testosterone and cortisol. Doctors know that constant high levels of cortisol shrink the part of the brain that is responsible for memory. Cortisol also interferes with the immune system making you less able to fight off infections. If you are drinking three or more cups of coffee a day your adrenals are depleted. Your body is in a constant state of “fight or flight.” Coffee, the very substance you thought was giving you that little kick is actually, in the long run depleting your energy levels to almost zero. Over stimulating the adrenals leads to fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, depression and a weakened immune system. Caffeine has been shown to stay in people’s systems for as long as eight and up to thirty hours. Like other herbs and drugs it affects each person in a different manner.

Caffeine also forces the liver to release more glucose into the blood stream. This produces a blood sugar high that is often followed by a severe drop in blood sugar. (The need for a nap or another cup of coffee!) Extra coffee also puts added stress on your kidneys.

So what is wrong with your coffee habit if it lures you out of bed every morning? The reason you may be craving that coffee every morning is that you are addicted to its effects. Coffee or caffeine withdrawal headaches can be terrible. They often come with the overwhelming feeling of fatigue as your body tries to recuperate from its former caffeine driven pace. If you skip your morning coffee you get a terrible headache. Caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor in the brain. That means it actually constricts blood vessels in the brain and decreases circulation! When caffeine is not present the sudden increased circulation causes headaches.

What is the answer if you are someone like me who loves the aroma of dark coffee and just can’t say no? The good news is that you can wean yourself down from the several cups a day and eventually off coffee completely if you do it slowly over a two to three week period. You can also rebuild your adrenal glands with herbs and help from organic whole foods. I like to recommend superfood blends that are very dense in nutrients and minerals. Your diet should be a building diet and avoid or cut back on stimulants, sugar, sodium and alcohol. Foods rich in Potassium should be added to the diet This will help the adrenals by correcting the potassium/sodium balance in the body. You can also help rebuild the adrenals by adding several herbs to your diet. Some of the best adrenal builders are cayenne, licorice, ginseng, ginger and hawthorn. It is also a good idea to drink plenty of water and evaluate your sleep to make sure you are getting restful sleep and waking up energized. One final point on energy. One reason we as a society may feel we need more stimulants is because the main energy vitamin, B-12, is stored in the liver. As you know, the liver is bombarded with all types of toxins and pollutants on a daily basis and struggles to perform at a high level. Doing a regular cleansing routine will help keep the liver in good shape and hopefully help you store more B-12 for your energy needs.
