Spirulina

April 16th, 2013 by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach

Have you heard about spirulina? Spirulina is a single-celled form of blue-green algae made famous for its health benefits. This algae is power-packed with B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid), other minerals and antioxidants, and exists as an excellent source of protein! Its ability to protect against infection, disease and cancer are amazing.

Spirulina can relieve typical seasonal allergy symptoms –  a runny and congested nose, watery eyes, sneezing and itching –  commonly caused by pollen, ragweed, dust, mold, pet dander and other environmental contaminants. While prescription and over-the-counter drugs may have many undesirable side effects, spirulina can be a natural remedy for your seasonal battles and the common cold. Who can deny the benefits of an all-natural immune boost!  Continue reading “Spirulina”

Pathway Inflammove (Formerly Cox 2 Support)

March 12th, 2013 by Paula Gallagher

If you are a devoted user of Pathway Cox 2 Support and have been worried that it was discontinued, rest assured that it is still an important product, with a new name… INFLAMMOVE.

For those of you looking for support for pain from inflammation, this may be just what you need. Inflammove supports healthy Cox-2 levels, the enzyme that relays pain and inflammation. This formula is a unique and comprehensive blend of nutrients featuring Nexrutine, a patented extract from the Phellodendron tree, which shows promising new research for supporting healthy Cox-2 levels. In addition, we combine the standardized herbs white willow, boswellia, turmeric, ginger and devil’s claw, as well as their supporting full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds. The anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain and papain are also utilized. Potent antioxidants and flavonoids green tea, rosemary leaf, trademarked ingredient Protykin, and quercetin are added for synergistic benefits.

Heart Disease Hates Vegetables

February 26th, 2013 by Jared Rice

As if we needed yet another reason to emphasize vegetables in our diets, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a new study from the University of Oxford showing that a vegetarian diet may reduce risk of death or hospitalization from heart disease by 32%. 45,000 participants were tracked from the early 90’s until 2009, reporting their dietary and lifestyle habits as well as having their blood pressure and cholesterol measured. Vegetarians had lower blood pressure, cholesterol and BMI, on average. Even after adjusting for the difference in BMI, vegetarians STILL had lower rates of heart disease. In other words, overweight vegetarians had less heart disease than overweight meat-eaters.

Vegetables are like the one foe that heart disease just can’t get a beat on.  Continue reading “Heart Disease Hates Vegetables”
