Beat Rosacea with Diet and SPF Lotions

Aug 22, 2011

“Your rosy-cheeked complexion may not be a sign of good health. It could actually be a common skin disease called rosacea. Early treatment is important, so learn which is best for you… “

Rosacea is a skin condition that affects more than fourteen million people, especially those of Celtic ancestry. Rosacea is not the same as other forms of skin conditions, symptoms are  red, swollen, inflamed, dry itchy skin. The symptoms mainly appear on the face. Rosacea is a skin disease that predominantly affects the face of the sufferer, more common in women than men. Onset of Rosacea is typically in the patients 30’s, the bad news is there is no cure for Rosacea. People  mix up Rosacea symptoms with something else like sun burn, allergies or just being hot.

Symptoms can be irregular which can cause  flare ups and people do not often realize they are causing them.

Only eat moderate amounts of meats and dairy  because there are fatty acids in the protein that can stimulate the irritation that comes with rosacea. Fat-free dairy products contain less of this fatty acid and are better for you.
 
What to avoid:

- Avoid spicy foods
- Stop smoking
- Alcoholic drinks trigger flare-ups

What you need:

- Wear Sunscreen such as: Australian Gold spf lotions and Tea Time Green Tea 4oz Moisturizing Cream
- Niacinmide wich is a form of vitamin b3 also is used to treat symptoms
- Digestive enzymes help regulate the fat in your foods
- Aloe type products
- Rose hips

One of the best things you can do is to drink lots of filtered water every day. The water will help remove toxins in the body that can lead to infections or help reduce the bacteria that may cause rosacea to flare up.

The New Food Plate vs The Food Pyramid

Aug 12, 2011

 

So the United States Department of Agriculture along with  President  Obama have made a change to the health and nutrition industry by riding of the Food Pyramid    (which was just updated in 2005)    for the new “FOOD PLATE” , the ideas are still along the same lines but we hear @ i-supplements.com are going to break  down the differences  for you.

1992 Food Pyramid :

The original USDA Food Pyramid from 1992 had a lot of great  ideas on nutrition.It was split into six horizontal sections  with various pics of foods from each key food group.The 1992 Food Pyramid recommended five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables. But also at the same time it said to eat 6 to 11 servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta per day. It didn’t break down the two types of carbs.

Food Pyramid

2005 MyPyramid:

The Food pyramid had change to the MYPyramid in 2005. The new version had vertical  pics replacing the horizontal. 2005 MyPyramid was displayed with the food images at the bottom mixed in together, creating a more odd design.The old Food guide pyramid from 1992 gave suggestions in serving sizes, which some people found hard to understand. So the 2005 MyPyramid gave its ideas on measurements, such as cups, ounces, and other measurements as well to help figure out portions.Still the 2005 pyramid lacked simplicity that americans “need” it was an overload of info that you had to look up.

MyPyramid

2011 MyPlate:

 The 2011 MyPlate simplifies how to look at the foods we need on are plate daily. There are five groups of foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy.One of the main things that it is overlooking is the condiments many people add to their meal that also add to their poor health. Mayo, dressings, etc, are low in nutrition and high in things such as saturated fats.Also the new Myplate doesn’t let you no what type of proteins to eat such as beans or meat or what the difference is.

MyPlate

Final thought:

Remember that the food pyramids/MyPlate designs are made for people that are already healthy and doesn’t account for certain types of people that can’t eat many different foods due to already existing health problems.So as with anything moderation and variety will never fail you .

Native Americans use Goldenseal herb for cold remedies

Aug 10, 2011

Native American tribes in southeastern Canada and the northeastern U.S. are among the first to use the herb Goldenseal. It can act as an antibiotic to your mucous not by killing germs, but by increasing the flow of healthy mucous, which has its own antibiotics. Goldenseal is a plant that grows wild in parts of the United States but has become hard to find due to overharvesting. While  natural supplies are getting low, goldenseal is now grown commercially across the United States.

Goldenseal treatments:

- skin disorders/wounds,sores
- digestive problems
- liver conditions
- diarrhea
- its a natural antibiotic for sore  throats
- Goldenseal is often combined with echinacea in cold remedies

As stated earlier, Goldenseal has become hard to find, due to overharvesting. Wild Goldenseal is so rare that the herb is now in the Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)  More than 60 million goldenseal plants are picked each year without being replaced. Since the demand of goldenseal has been on the rise due to how well it works they have started “farms” wear they are growing it commercially now to meet the supply and demand needs.

Check out these different Goldenseal products:

Creatine and the Aging Athlete and Woman

Aug 3, 2011

Creatine is the most researched  supplement of all time. Creatine is neither a vitamin, mineral, herb nor hormone. It is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in our body and also by using creatine monohydrate you can raise your Igf-1/ Igf-2 levels as well, which is important for aging athletes.
We can’t get enough creatine in our system by just consuming foods such as meats, fish, dairy products, egg whites, nuts and seeds.

It is quite challenging to consume enough food to provide the same amount of creatine that using supplements will. Creatine’s main benefit is its ability to give you energy plus it causes muscle tears to repair themselves quicker. Creatine causes rapid replenishment of ATP that leads to an available energy  so that the muscle is able to recuperate its energy much quicker .
One clinical study found that people with congestive heart failure used creatine supplementation with their standard medication to help increase body weight and an improvement of muscle strength. 

People with these conditions all use creatine to help them with muscle/weight gain:

Heart disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Muscular dystrophy

Parkinson’s disease 

Women and Creatine:

Women have a hard time trying to gain muscle and strength. Creatine help’s women see results in strength much quicker. It is a well known fact that  more muscle causes the body to burn more calories. So women that use creatine will add some additional muscle to their frame that will help them burn more body fat throughout the day to. 

Hear are some great creatine based supplements that we carry:
