Got Greens?!

OK, so the weather is very Fallish today here in Utah, so I was thinking Greens! With cold season quickly approaching, we should be thinking how we can strengthen and boost our immune systems while promoting a healthy digestive system and alkalize the body. Ok so how are Greens going to do this, and what does it all mean anyways?? Well, I'm here to tell you!

So! First off, in every serving of Greens you are getting 8+ servings of Organic Fruits and Veggies! Are you eating your recommended servings of fruits and veggies everyday? (The CDC web link highlighted can help you figure out how many you should be getting based on your age, sex, and activity level.) Well I know I wasn't! Now I can take my Greens in the morning knowing I've gotten all the fruits and veggies I've needed for the day.  The supplement is plant based and designed to break down in your system as naturally as if you ate them yourself. And if you were curious...yes it's actually Green!

Fruits and veggies are a vital part of our diet. Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can help you ward off heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure, prevent some types of cancer, avoid a painful intestinal ailment called diverticulitis, and guard against cataract and macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss. And while for a long time the biggest pay off for eating your fruits and veggies was thought to be cancer prevention, now studies have shown the biggest pay off is for the heart! Helping to lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Another benefit of the Greens is alkalizing the body to restore a natural pH balance. Why do you want to have a natural pH in your body? Disease loves to grow in an acidic body. Acidity in the body makes a condition favorable for the growth of bacteria, yeast, fungus, viruses, mold, and other unwanted organisms. Yuck!!! Another BAD effect of acid in the body, is the body will try to shield itself from the acids and pushes it into fat cells! No thank you! Lowering your acidity can help your body lose unwanted fat cells. YAY! Acidity has a lot of harmful effects on the body, including calcium depletion which can lead to Osteoporosis.

I could probably write a whole paper on the benefits of Greens, but I will touch on just a few more of my favorites! These babies contain 38 herbs and nutrient rich Superfoods! I'm sure you have heard the term superfood, but what does it really mean? Well a superfood is non scientific term for foods rich in nutrients that promote health and well being. This includes things like whole grains, spinach, berries, nuts, salmon, Quinoa etc.

And last but certainly NOT least. These Greens have amazing antioxidants which fight free radicals...oh no...another crazy term we hear but don't necessarily understand! Ha! Well, I'll tell you what a free radical is.  Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction, like dominoes. Their chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidants. So, Greens help the body out by providing a boost of antioxidants for this fight! GO GREENS!

Results After JUST 1 Wrap!!!

OK, I love, love, love the fact this product's results can be seen after JUST 1 wrap! I don't know about you, but I am more motivated and excited when I can actually SEE and FEEL things working right away! It's like wrap 1 is the start of the "new you" avalanche and it just keeps building steam and momentum as you go. It's so fun to see and feel your life changing for the better!!!

So my husband just started wrapping his chest. An area he has always been annoyed with lol. Look at these awesome results after just the first wrap. He still has 3 to go for a full treatment and you know I will be updating the results as he goes here on the blog! :D

 

Look at that side view! You can see the skin already tightening up, smoothing and lifting the area as it shrinks his fat cells! YAY!

The Science Behind The Wraps!

The ingredients in the wrap are naturally-based, plant extracts and botanicals, very healthy "food" for your skin and deeper tissues. The Guarana seed extract is a shrub rich in caffeine, known as a stimulant, and expected to increase fat burning within cell tissue. That is just one of the many natural ingredients and as strong as it gets!

1. The ingredients promote Lipolysis. This literally means “fat-breaking”. The plant extracts and botanicals penetrate into the fat cell and break down the large fat molecules into small ones which are now allowed to leave the cell. These molecules are burned as energy somewhere else in the body (one reason why we need to be well hydrated, to circulate the smaller fat molecules that have been released).

2. The ingredients also release toxins from the fat cell. A major function of fat cells is to store toxins, so if we can release toxins, then we again get a shrinking of the fat cell.

3. The ingredients improve the micro circulation on the area where the body applicator was applied. This is what creates skin tightening, firming and toning. Fat tissue requires a great deal of blood vessels. If we can improve the micro circulation then we can improve the overall health of the area.

4. They have an anti-inflammatory effect. Fat tissue is terribly inflamed because of all the toxins. We once again see a tightening, firming and toning effect because we’ve increased the overall health of the area.

5. The ingredients in The Ultimate Applicator promote Lipolysis! They detoxify the cell, they improve micro circulation, and they reduce Inflammation.

So long story short they are AWESOME! !

 

Ever Tried The Crazy Wrap Thing?

Wrapping has changed mine and my husband's lives for the better! How you say? Well here's the story.

Well I had never even heard of the "crazy wrap thing" until a childhood friend of mine contacted me about trying them. I definitely hit a wall in my weight loss and was pretty much open to ANYTHING! The thought of putting something on for a while and then "poof!" you look better was a little out there, but for the price I thought what the heck. So my husband and I got started. "You have to drink a TON of water" my friend said, "to get the best results don't drink sodas, or caffeine while you're wrapping." Oh boy, not gonna be easy I thought. My husband was a Rockstar junkie and I love my coffee and Diet Coke, but we're the type of people who when we say we are going to try something, we do it 100%  before we decide it's not for us. So we got started!

We took before photos and measurements, and applied our first wraps. You can wear a wrap up to 8 hours, so we chose to sleep in them. The instant you put it on you feel it going to work, it felt great. The next morning we took them off and took more measurements and pics. Already we saw instant results! This was starting to be fun! So for the next 72 hours we both had to drink half our body weight in ounces of water. I'm not going to say exactly how much we had to drink but it's a lot! At first it was tough, I'll admit, being a soda girl it was a tough switch, but we kept up with it. It turned into a fun thing. I would get a text from my husband "half way there...how much have you drank?" and I'd text back "I've gone to the bathroom 4 times already and it's only 11am! lol". We supported each other. Well funny thing? After seeing our amazing results and feeling so much better overall, neither of us have gone back to our previous drinking habits. We wrap, eat healthy, drink plenty of water and move our bodies! This "crazy wrap thing" helped catapult us into a new healthy lifestyle and we are loving it!

So for all those who want to SEE the results of progress thus far, my husband has kindly offered to share his before and after JUST 3 wraps pic! Thank you honey!!! Stay tuned cause they are only going to get sexier from here, cause that's the best part about these wraps...they are permanent results (as long as you don't gain weight) IT'S NOT WATER LOSS!
