The Amazing Benefits of Berries in Super Fruit Global Blend (Part 1)

Dr. Mehmet Oz sang the praises of berries in his recent TIME Magazine cover story: "Berries are increasingly seen as having a profound impact against age-related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular illness, diabetes and mental decline, thanks to their high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties." Global Blend and XypStix both contain juices and extracts from blueberries, blackberries, goji berries (discussed elsewhere), seabuckthorn, cranberries, raspberries, wild bilberries, and strawberries. The pigments that give berries their beautiful colors are also good for your health. Berries contain phytochemicals and flavonoids that have amazing antioxidant properties. Blueberries contain a substance that may prevent bladder infections. Blueberries also contain lutein, which is important for healthy vision. All berries are an excellent source of natural fiber to lower cravings and fill you up so you don't feel hungry. Here's the first in a 2-part series featuring blueberries, bilberries, and sea buckthorn. This is a rundown of the specific health research readily available with a quick PubMed or Wiki search.

That stubborn, hard-to-lose weight...Are hidden toxins to blame?

Everyone knows diet and exercise are important keys to weight management, but you may be missing important keys to weight loss no one is talking about. In weight loss it's not what you eat but what you absorb that counts. Is your body converting the few calories you eat to excess, hard-to-release fat? Or are your calories converted naturally to fat-burning energy instead? You may have always suspected that you are getting the same number of calories as thin people, but very different results. Are toxins and metabolic wastes inside your body slowing your metabolism and digestion? Is your body no longer producing the required enzymes you need to burn fat? Could it be that your sluggish digestion doesn't give you enough energy to even move, let alone exercise? Discover the secrets to toxin-free weight loss no one is talking about. Learn why cleaner digestion and absorption of more nutrients may be the answer to waking up your metabolism. Find out why FLUSH, a gentle herbal cleanse, may trigger, all by itself, a considerable drop in weight. Why drinking enough water will immediately produce a drop in water weight. QUIZ Which of these may be hidden stressors blocking your weight loss success? How many glasses of water (8 oz) do you drink every day? a. 1 -- 3 b. 4 -- 6 c. Over 7 How many grams of fiber do you eat daily? a. Under 10 b. 11 to 25 c. Over 25 How often do you have fast food (or highly processed snacks like sodas, chips, or candy bars)? a. Daily b. More than twice a week, but not daily c. Rarely or never (less than once a week) How many of the following 12 conditions are part of your life? (1) Regular heartburn (2) Fatigue (3) Unexplained weight gain/obesity (4) Food allergies (5) Indigestion/gas (6) Low immunity/frequent infections (7) Dry skin (8) Joint pain (9) Body aches (10) Osteoporosis (11) PMS (women) (12) Constipation a. More than 8 of these are part of your life b. 2 to 7 c. Fewer than 2 If you checked more Bs and As than Cs, the XYNGULAR CORE4 package and XYNG could be your answer to more effective weight loss. How do XYNGULAR products help release hidden toxins... You may be surprised to learn that XYNG and Accelerate help clear not only your brain and emotions and give you enough energy to begin an exercise program...but they, combined with Super Fruit Global Blend and AXION, also help clear your arteries and the inflammation throughout your body that is responsible The safe, mild herbal cleansing action of FLUSH makes an enormous difference in clearing out the effects of toxic build-up that contributes to much unexplained weight gain. Adding more natural fiber by sprinkling CHEAT on your foods helps to naturally bind and release even more toxins throughout your body as well as preventing calories from being absorbed.

Xanthones from Mangosteen Mangosteen is a remarkable fruit grown in Southeast Asia. It has been used by the natives of that region for centuries for a broad spectrum of health conditions including skin conditions, respiratory conditions, and joint health. The taste is said to resemble a delicious combination of stem-ripened raspberries and strawberries. As early as 1885 the Illustrated London News published an article stating that "Dr. Garcin says the mangosteen is the only fruit which sick people are allowed to eat unsparingly; it is given with safety in almost every disorder." Xanthones - These powerful phytonutrients found in greatest abundance in the mangosteen fruit, demonstrate unique and valuable health properties supportive of: • cardiovascular system, • joints, • immune system • respiratory system.

5 hidden reasons why your weight loss may plateau and how to bust through

There are many "hidden" reasons why your best efforts at weight loss using Xyngular products may plateau for a time. Here are a few of the most common ones and how you can bust through your plateaus and help your clients get through theirs. 1. You don't sleep enough There are several possible reasons why poor sleep habits are sometimes a factor in poor weight loss results. Poor sleep means lower leptin levels which encourages roller coaster cravings. With lots of time late at night, you tend to eat more and you migrate towards bad choices like sweets and junk. Lack of sleep makes it more difficult to metabolize carbs efficiently. This helps you store more body fat, increase your insulin resistance, and elevate your blood pressure and your risk of heart disease. AXION, Xyngular Super Fruit Global Blend, and XypStix may provide those missing nutrients to help you get a good night's sleep. 2. You overeat before bed Why do so many people wake up sluggish with no energy? It's usually from what they ate the night before when they were unwinding, relaxed, and unaware. Even a small late-night snack could upset your sleep pattern. Healthy sleep is essential for a healthy immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems. Eating before bed can disrupt this healthy renewal or at least slow it down. Maybe, for you, it's smart to not eat after your dinner meal. 3. You pay more attention to your weight than your body fat They only way to know that you're truly succeeding at long-term weight-loss is to be aware of your body fat, not just your weight loss. Weight loss, especially at first, could only mean water loss and no muscle gain. There's a huge difference between losing 5 pounds of lean muscle mass and losing 5 pounds of fat. That's why we recommend that you measure inches lost as well as pounds...especially in the early days of weight loss. Being aware of how much muscle you are trading for body fat is important over time. If you're exercising and gaining muscle but not losing weight, you may still be ahead because that extra muscle will compound your fat-burning. Try getting away from the scales for awhile and just measure inches lost. 4. You don't adjust your diet to your exercise level If you train like crazy but eat too little, your body will rebel. For example, let's say you're a lean 200-pound bodybuilder that trains like crazy two times a day. Depending on your training and lifestyle, you could be burning 3500 calories every day. If you only ate 3 meals a day, you could be in serious trouble. You'd probably need 4 meals of almost 1,000 calories each just to keep up. So the more you train or exercise, the more often you may need to eat and the more you may need to eat. That's why we have 3 meals and 2 snacks in our IGNITE program. If your exercise during IGNITE is especially intense, you may need to up your calories intake. 5. You don't eat enough Starving is the fastest way to weight-loss failure. It slows your metabolism to a crawl, increases your cravings, creates an energy and mood swing roller coaster. And it tells your body to store as fat any energy that comes in the front door. When you're doing well with your IGNITE system and losing an amazing amount of weight, it may be easy for you to become a little overzealous and think if you ate just a little less, things would go faster. Maybe you have just not been aware of how little you are eating until you realizing you're back in fat-storing mode.

Konnyaku fiber, the main ingredient in CHEAT, getting good reviews

www.xyngular.com/lrivera

Dr. Oz recently did a television program on up-and-coming ingredients in the weight loss world. The show aired April 28, 2011. His first guest on the show said that once she hit 40, she became hungry all the time. Dr. Oz said that the reason for her cravings is likely the big changes in hormones that take place at her age. Another dietary professional on the show introduced konnyaku or konjac fiber. She said that it is an incredible substance that keeps you feeling full. It also regulates your hormones and your sugar balance all at the same time. She said that scientific studies back up the benefits of konnyaku fiber and have shown that it cannot hurt you. Dr. Oz said that his wife takes the fiber. He said it's the most potent natural fiber that he knows of. The main ingredient in CHEAT is konnyaku, the Korean name for a plant grown in the orient that has almost no calories but is high in fiber. It becomes very viscous when water is added. The dried corm of the konjac or konnyaku plant contains around 40% glucomannan gum. This polysaccharide creates a jelly that is highly viscous. This is what helps you feel full and reduces the caloric impact of up to 25% of the calories you consume. Konjac has almost no calories but is very high in fiber. On TV, Dr. Oz reported that konnyaku root fiber is used to make you feel full. This helps with portion control. He recommended that daily fiber intake should be 25 - 30 grams a day, and that is an important key to staying satisfied and resisting snacks. He also added two other benefits for konnyaku root fiber… (1) It balances hormones and helps regularity, easing constipation. He confirmed that it is safe and that people in East Asia have used this particular fiber for more than a thousand years.

Drinking Water Helps Weight Loss

Here's a common trick that dieters have tried for centuries: two cups of water before each meal. A study recently reported in Discovery News in 2010 actually gave hard evidence that increasing your water intake by this amount is a useful weight-loss strategy. According to the article, "The reason could be physical. According to some research, water consumption might spark the body to produce more heat, boosting metabolism and burning more calories. Or, drinking more water might simply make people less likely to drink a lot of high-calorie sugar-filled beverages." Water for weight loss? If you don't drink enough, it's easy to become dehydrated. Many dieters have noticed that dehydration often mimics hunger. If you feel you're doing everything right in the Xyngular programs and you still feel hungry, it may be that drinking more water may help.  Jim Ayres has long been an advocate of getting a "gallon of water a day" when you're on the IGNITE. That's important advice. If you want to lose weight, pure water may be one of your most important secret weapons for fighting off cravings and reducing hunger. It's not just your weight that is affected by not enough water. Studies show that chronic dehydration from not enough water is linked to many conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and others.  Make water your first choice for best weight management success One of the best pieces of no-cost advice you can give anyone trying to lose weight is to switch from whatever else they're drinking to water. This simple tip is often the reason people unnecessarily plateau in their weight loss efforts. Even so-called healthy alternatives like Vitamin Water, Jamba Juice, and specialty drinks found in health food stores contain far more added liquid calories than many desserts!  It's not just soda that's the problem We've all heard that cutting out a single can of soda a day translates to more than a pound of weight gain every month...but soda isn't the only thing that can create this result. All kinds of studies with children have implicated juices (even all-fruit juices) and flavored drinks of all kinds in contributing to their weight gain. So for best results just switch to water. Try it for yourself and see.  How much should you drink a day? If you are healthy, then drinking water when you feel thirsty could be an adequate guide. But here's another trick to tell whether you're drinking enough water: Make sure your urine is a light color of yellow. Dark yellow urine is a sign that you need more water. If you exercise a lot or the temperature is high, you'll need more water than normal. Also, as you grow older your thirst mechanism becomes less efficient, so older adults will want to take special measures to assure that they're drinking water regularly.  Water and CORE4 Drinking Jim Ayres' full recommendation of "a gallon a day" becomes especially important when you're doing an IGNITE program or using any of the CORE4 programs to keep the weight off. High protein diets typically lack the soluble and insoluble fiber you need to stay regular and healthy. That's why FLUSH is part of the program...to keep your system clean and healthy as you replace carbohydrate calories with protein calories and go into fat-burning mode.  But what happens with added fiber and even mild cleansing products if you're not drinking enough water? Right. Lots of gastric problems. And even if you don't feel them, it's very important that you have plenty of water while you're using our products. CHEAT is also a great weight-management product that requires lots of water to work most effectively. It's totally safe and highly effective...even more so with plenty of water. If you're using any of our products...make sure you're monitoring your water intake...not just waiting until you're thirsty to have a drink.
