One of the many problems dehydration can cause is difficulty sleeping. That problem usually comes from the use of caffeine. Caffeine causes dehydration by increasing the kidneys metabolic function, which causes your fluids to be forced out quicker. Mild dehydration, has been on the uprise and making other conditions worse, from asthma to heart disease, to infections and many more. 70 – 80% of us walk around in mild to moderate dehydration. 

The wide availability of drinks that do not hydrate as well as water & foods have been proven to contain more chemicals, sugar and other harmful things which leads to dehydration. Dehydration has been studied by many top health professionals to find that it had negative side effects such as  reduced work ability & reduced performance during exercise. Dehydration greatly effects how well all of our organs,systems and cells perform as well.

Our bodies have to eliminate toxins thru urine. The more toxins you have the more dehydrated you will be. Stay away from salt in fast foods & sodium loaded snacks that pull water out of your body. Some salt, such as good natural sea salt, is needed to keep cells healthfully plumped with water. 

A great hydration supplement available at i-Supplements.com is the Electro Mix Sports Drink made by Alacer. Stay hydrated and healthy!

Resveratrol is a  natural antioxidant compound found in the skin and seeds of  muscadine grapes . Muscadine grapes are not a common grape and they are hard to find and have a bitter taste to them. Resveratrol has scientifically been proven to prolong life, improve health and fight age-related diseases. Also muscadine grapes/resveratrol have been shown to prevent the growth of prostate cancer .

Red wine which contains resveratrol from the grapes can actually improve muscular endurance which has actually lead to athletes taking it for sports performance. Resveratrol also boosts muscle endurance by increasing  energy thus creating components in the cell, which is called the mitochondria.

 
Running may appear to be a simple function but when it is technically broken down it is clear that the coordination function is very important to the runner. Ageing athletes have a reduction in their hand eye coordination. The use of Resveratrol might be the solution that they are looking for in terms of helping them with their coordination. It can help provide longevity to their coordination,careers and thus  they can produce results even towards the end of their natural career.

The importance of getting your daily fiber should be 2nd to none in your nutrition program. I just recently was getting together a diet plan that was low in carbs but had to be high in fiber, which is a task for those of you that don’t know. Oatmeal is a great source of fiber but is high in carbs which is good if you are doing a clean bulking type of diet, but to get lean you have to cut those carbs out. Fiber bars have double the fiber and half the carbs of oatmeal.

-It takes two servings of oatmeal to get 8 grams of fiber which is roughly 55 total carbs.
-Two fiber bars per day to get 18 grams of fiber with very little sugar, 7 grams per bar and only 24 carbs per bar
- So you are getting DOUBLE THE FIBER  and less carbs by eating fiber bars
-The other 12grams of fiber should come from FREE CARBS such as broccoli and other fibrous vegetables.

QUAKER OATMEAL LOW SUGAR PACKET FACTS

Vitamin D3

Often during the cloudy days of winter, chances are we are not getting enough exposure from the sun. Sunlight/Tanning exposure provides most people with their entire vitamin D requirement. The vitamin D we make from the sun/tanning helps our bodies make Glutathione. GLUTATHIONE also protects us from radiation. In other words, boosting out glutathione does protect us from skin cancer. It is true that humans can synthesize vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet (UVB) radiation from the sunlight/tanning bed. By not getting enough regular sunlight/tanning light, your glutathione levels will be low,so when you do finally go get some sunlight or tanning light with low levels of GLUTATHIONE in your system is when you get skin burn and possibly skin cancer. Your best bet is to get “moderate” exposure year around, remember balance is the key to everything.

Most people already are not getting enough glutathione boosting food such as:

garlic
kale
onions
broccoli
kale
water cress
cabbage
asparagus
brussel sprouts
unpasteurized milk (should be hormone and antibiotic free)
ricotta cheese
cottage cheese
yogurt
eggs
milk (decreased in pasteurized milk)
whey protein (undenatured bio active)

Grains

wheat germ
granola
oats
oat flakes

Meats

pork
sausage meat
chicken
turkey
duck

 It has been said that glutathione offers radiation protection. One product used to boost  glutathione is actually  for use with radiation treatment for cancers. It protects the healthy cells allowing the radiation to kill the bad cells.Also to raise your glutathione levels you should take supplements like cysteine, Vitamin E, C, beta-carotene and selenium.Vitamin D increases glutathione levels in the brain and appears to be a catalyst for glutathione production. The amount of vitamin D in the brain is tied to how much vitamin D3 one has, either ingested through supplements or created in the skin via sun exposure. This suggests taking vitamin D3 supplements and/or getting adequate sun exposure boosts glutathione production. Whey protein has also been shown to increase glutathione content within the cell.
 
IMPORTANT FACT:
- Glutathione is not an essential nutrient (meaning it does not have to be obtained via food), since it can be synthesized in the body from the amino acids L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, and Glutathione is made from 3 non-essential amino acid (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid).

New research at the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham has found that the levels of glutathione were much higher in patients who had healthy gums. Natural protein based tooth-paste containing precursors of glutathione are used for whiter teeth. Glutathione plays a huge role in many metabolic repairs, protein synthesis and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione in our system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs. It  also binds to toxins in the liver, the body’s primary cleansing organ, and allows toxins to be flushed efficiently. Glutathione level in the body drop as we age !!!

Numerous experts are recently sounding off on how diet is the likely key and most common route of exposure of chemicals contributing to ADHD found in todays youth.

BREAKING NEWS: RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Levels of toxic pesticides commonly encountered across the country in food as well as around the home are significantly increasing children’s risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder better known to many as ADHD.

For so many people, diet is the major source. It’s been shown that people who switch to an organic diet knock down the levels of pesticide by-products in their urine by 85 to 90 percent therefore decreasing the risk of developing ADHD.

Some of the details surrounding the studies included data collected from the urine samples taken from nearly 1,200 children. Studies found in that group, 119 children met the known criteria for having ADHD. Those children with substantially higher levels of a breakdown product neurotoxins organophosphate pesticide were twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. The researchers concluded that parents should avoid overly treated foods and buy organic for their children.
