Vitamin C – Antioxidant and helps with skin protection

Vitamin E – Antioxidant and helps prevent against sun damage and aging

Liver Health

Most challenges with skin result from some sort of deficiency or toxicity in the liver.

A. Getting rid of toxins in us and the environment B. Avoiding fruit C. Minimizing sugar D. Going organic

2. Vitamins A, D, E, K – fat soluble and made in your liver

3. Nutritional support for liver – castor oil pack, Drugless Detoxification program, Livotrit

4. Age spots is a result of liver function

Digestion

Digestive distress can also show up as skin challenges

Body Signals

Eczema – Can be liver or food sensitivity (Blackcurrant Seed Oil helps)

Psoriasis – Can be liver and food sensitivity

Cold Sores/Shingles – Brought on by stress, lack of calcium. L –Lysine helps with calcium absorption

Hives – is an allergy challenge – can be liver or foods

Nail Fungus – can be bacteria, a lot of the time it is improper gut function

Three Types of Sun Rays

UVA: A stands for Aging. UVA radiation penetrates deep into the skin and is responsible for premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Tanning beds can emit 2 to 5 times more UVA radiation than the sun.

UVB: B stands for Burning. U VB radiation is stronger than UVA radiation. It mainly affects the outer layers of the skin, causing sunburns, premature aging of the skin, and skin cancer. These rays are strongest during the summer months – especially between 11 am and 4 pm. 

UVC: UVC radiation is the strongest, most dangerous form of UV light. However, they are stopped by the earth’s atmosphere and do not reach earth’s surface. 

 The Drugless Doctors Sun Skin protection

1. If you’re going to be in the sun, plan ahead

2. Complete Kare Spray – Vit A, D, Zinc, and Iodine – the zinc provides some protection from the sun

3. Take Calcium (CA/Mg Zyme 6 daily) and flax oil (3 capsules or 1 Tbsp. daily)

General Skin Health

Eat foods high in vitamin A, C, E – (Green leafy vegetables; carrots)

Supplement with Vitamin A and D (Bio Ae Mulsion and Bio D Mulsion - links to products are above)

Sugars & Sweeteners: What You Need to Know!

SUGAR: What You Need to Know!

Hi Everyone! 

Thank you for joining us this month on our H2H discussion on sugar and sweeteners. Please continue to read to view our notes, video, and in-office specials (2/20). As always, please pass this information on to someone who you know can benefit. Have a great month! 

What is sugar? It is a class of carbohydrates that turn into energy.

Why is sugar scary? Targets our belly, silent killer, addictive, and causes damage to a liver, low nutritious value, and it causes your body to attack itself.

61 different names for sugar (University of California San Francisco)

Agave nectar, Barbados sugar, barley malt. Barley malt syrup, beet sugar, brown sugar, buttered syrup, can juice, cane juice crystals, cane sugar, caramel, carob syrup, castor sugar, coconut palm sugar, coconut sugar, confectioners' sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, corn syrup solids. Date sugar, dehydrated cane juice, demerara sugar, dextrin, dextrose, evaporate cane juice, free-flowing brown sugars, fructose, fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, glucose solids, golden sugar, golden syrup, grape sugar, high fructose corn syrup, honey, icing sugar, invert sugar, malt syrup, maltodextrin, maltol, mannose, maple sugar, molasses, muscovado, palm sugar, panocha, raw sugar, refiners syrup, rice syrup, saccharose, sorghum syrup, sucrose, sugar granulated, sweet sorghum, treacle, turbinado sugar, yellow sugar

Sugar substitutes: stevia, aspartame, sucralose (Splenda), neotame, acesilfame potassium, saccharin, advantame, erythritol, xylitol, cyclamate (sweet n low), mannitol, polydextrose, sorbitol, glycerol, fructooligosaccharide, curculin

The Drugless Doctors Points for sugar

1). Creates inflammation in the body

2). Decreases immune system function

3). Slows the healing process down in the body

4). Promotes weight gain

5). Creates liver distress and adrenal fatigue

Sugar Facts: 1 teaspoon of sugar = 4.2 grams, 1 tablespoon of ketchup = 4 grams (around 1 teaspoon) of sugar.

1.AHA recommends not eating more than 24 grams or 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day for women and 36 grams or 9 teaspoons per day for men. The average American consumes 30 teaspoons of sugar daily.

2. 2013 study found globally 180,000 die per year from sweetened beverage consumption.

3. 200 years ago Americans at 2 pounds of sugar per year, today, however, the average American consumes over 150 pounds of sugar in a year.

4. Sugar has not been extensively studied in chronic disease: has been linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, dementia, Cancer, and weight gain.

5. JAMA: Americans get, on average 350 calories from added sugar or 22 teaspoons. People that consume 21 percent of their daily calories from added sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease.

6. Sugar and Cancer: Cancer needs to utilize sugar as a source of energy. In order to starve cancer cells, you have to kill the source of fuel. The WHO predicts Cancer will rise by 57% in the next two decades.

7. Not all sugar is created equal. 15.2 oz of Minute made 100% Apple juice contains 49 grams of sugar (same as eating 10 Oreos) – Sources of sugar you may have not considered: bread, yogurt, salad dressing, protein bars, pretzels, beef jerky, cereal, non-dairy milk, pasta sauce, fruit juice.

8. One 32 oz Gatorade has 36 grams of sugar, which is like eating 5 Reese's Peanut butter cups.

9. Sugar activates the reward center of your brain, just like drugs such as cocaine and amphetamines.

10. Sugar is toxic to your liver, just like drinking alcohol can be.

 ACTION STEPS:

1. Take an inventory- what are you consuming/day?

2. Read all ingredients and labels (especially the smaller print). Avoid anything that says sugar or the other chemicals listed above like dyes, artificial flavorings or colorings, cane sugar, coconut sugar, agave, honey…ect

3. Share this information with 1 person you love or care about

Your Simple Weight Loss & Detox Plan 💧🥬😊

Our Top 5 Keys to Weight Loss

Happy 2020, Everyone! 

We are so excited to partner with you on your health journey this year, and what a better way to begin than discussing simple ways to help you lose weight and detoxify. Please watch the video below, and if you would like a PDF handout, please go to the bottom of the blog: 

5 Keys

-Eat the Best Food: If you don’t put the right fuel in your body you don’t get the right outcome.

A. The top foods to avoid: sugar (or things that turn to sugar in your body), dairy, and grains. (Inflammation causers)

-Become Calorie Conscious:  It is not necessary to count each calorie but to cut out additional “fru fru” calories.

-Make Exercise Fun: Doing some sort of exercise for 20-60 minutes every day is vital for weight loss.

-Breakfast is the Key Meal: Begin your day with a protein.

-Discipline: Stay away from things that you know don’t promote health in your body. 

Top 5 keys to Detoxification

1. Detox starts with your LIVER: The liver is the key organ for detoxification. 

Signs of liver being compromised: enlarged liver on X-ray, skin challenges, age spots, bronzing on the cheeks, dark circles under eyes, cry easy, bad body odor, fatigue, brain fog, prostate or hormonal challenges.

2. Environmental toxins: Our environment is very toxic, air is polluted, food sources have preservatives and are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, household cleaning products, chlorine, and fluorine.  A recent study in The Journal Nature has 90% of cancers are caused by DIET and ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS.

3. Staying away from fruit/fructose: it is the hardest sugar for the liver to remove.

4. Gets rid of excess estrogen in the body: increased estrogen in men and women will lead to health challenges and cancer.

5. Water: water helps our bodies eliminate toxins.  – drinking ½ your body weight in ounces of water each day is the goal.

What Is the Drugless Detox?  

This is a program that was designed in order to help clean up liver and digestive tract function.  It is composed of three products.  

Bio-Detox Packs – this is a group of 10 products designed to clean up liver function.  

Nutriclear is a very effective way to help clean up the liver and promote healing in the digestive tract. 

Pea Protein allows the building blocks for new growth in the body.  This is a program that is designed to be done in 10 days (3 detox packs a day) or in 30 days (1 pack a day).  We have had members continue this on for 1-3 months because of how terrific they felt!

Detox Program

Bio-Detoxification is designed to reduce your body’s load of toxic substances, which may be present from either external sources (drugs, chemicals, alcohol) or your own physiological activities (bacterial toxins, intestinal toxins, metabolic byproducts). By following this program, you will eliminate many food and metabolic toxins for allergens, and achieve more “healthy” function and vitality.

Benefits of doing detox: increase immune function, increase liver function which is important for weight loss and hormonal function, improved mental cognition, improved energy, improved digestion, decreased joint and body pain.

What should I eat during the detoxification program?  Focus on proteins and vegetables and work on eliminating fruits, grains, gluten, and sugar.  Make sure to drink plenty of water during your detoxification process.

Q. Should I expect any side effects?

A. Individual response to cleansing programs is highly variable due to personal differences in biochemical makeup, stress levels, toxin build-up, and medical histories. Individuals sometimes experience headaches, joint pain, mood swings, constipation or other side effects. These side effects are commonly associated with cleansing programs and usually dissipate within a week to 10 days. Notify your healthcare professional if you develop any adverse symptoms, or encounter discomfort while using this product.

Important Factors to Consider

Water – Drinking the proper amount of water helps our body get rid of the toxins that the body is working on excreting.  A good benchmark is to consume half of our body weight in ounces of water every day

Eat Right – It is important to consume foods that allow our body to detoxify properly which means focusing on vegetables and proteins and decreasing fruits, sugar, and gluten.

Rest – Especially when going through a period of detoxification it is important for our bodies to get at the very minimum 8 hours of sleep at night so our body can process the toxins it is eliminating

Decrease exposure to environmental, industrial, and household chemicals.  These chemicals get stored in our body and have many harmful effects on the body and nervous system.

Exercise- movement is life.  Have a pattern of everyday exercise for yourself- this will promote elimination of toxins.
