Magnesium is the fourth most common mineral in the human body and is needed for more than 300 biochemical processes. It is essential for normal muscle and nerve function and is commonly recommended for any type of muscle cramping, muscle spasms, and restless leg syndrome.

Get Smarter!

I have tried pretty much all the nutrients available for improvement of mental cognition. The standard fare of well know brain function enhancers like ginkgo, choline, lecithin and DMAE. I have found them somewhat effective, but have never really been all that impressed with any of these nutrients. A year or so ago I was discussing these brain function nutrients with a colleague of mine that represents a major high end vitamin line that I carry. I asked him what he felt was the number one brain nutrient on the market today. He told me that he felt hands down that phosphatidylserine.

Fastest Fat Loss

Eat all protein, practically no carbohydrates and practically no fat. Yes, that is right not many choices. Pretty much limited to meat and eggs. I did not say this was easy, but it is incredibly effective. It will throw your body into full ketosis within 24 hours of starting the program. In ketosis your body has converted from a carbohydrate burning machine to a fat burning machine, and because you will not be eating any fat the only fat to burn as energy will be your own body fat.

What Are Hops?

When most people here hops they immediately think of beer. Hops provide a bitter aromatic flavor to beer. They are used to offset the sweetness of the malt in beer production. Before people began using hops in beer brewing many other herbs and flowers were regularly used for bitte ess including dandelion, burdock root, and heather. Hops have a strong antibacterial property and it was noticed that when they were used in beer production the beer would last much longer and not be as prone to spoiling.

HCG - Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin

Over the past 6 months I have had a couple dozen people tell their personal experience with the HCG diet. They tell me that they are eating only 500 calories a day and they are not hungry. How can this be? I had a 240 pound man tell me that he was eating 500 hundred calories a day and was not starving to death. This guy was probably accustomed to eating 4000 calories a day prior to going on this diet plan. This is really when I began do get interested in the biological intricacies of this program. The people that I have spoken with are using real HCG administered by injection.

Natural Sleep Aids

In the last few decades the large pharmaceutical companies have made a concerted effort to get as many people as possible using prescription medicines. Often our doctors are willing accomplices in the business strategy of these drug companies. Of course the more people that are dependant on these medications the more money the drug companies and the doctors make. This effort has paid off in billions of dollars in pharmaceutical sales each year. Nearly half of all Americans are currently using at least one prescription medication.

Aspartame Is Poison

Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are marketed to the masses as the solution for calorie control and weight loss. Between the years of 1960 and 1976 the obesity rate in the United States remained stable at around 24 percent of the population. From 1976 to 2010 the obesity rate in the US has more than doubled to an amazing 54 percent of the population. Synthetic sweeteners such as saccharin and later aspartame became widely used during the mid 1970’s; at the same time we as a population began getting fatter and fatter. How can this be?

The Sleep Aid Tryptophan

Until 1990 tryptophan was by far the most popular natural sleep aid on the market. In 1990 the United States Food and Drug Administration pulled all tryptophan from store shelves due to a sudden outbreak of eosinophilic-myalgia syndrome that occurred among some people who had taken the sleep aid. Once the United States banned the nutrient many other countries soon followed. Ultimately almost five thousand people reported getting sick and twenty seven people died from the serious illness. The symptoms included muscle pain, weakness, and severe joint pain.

Facial Peels

When we are young the outer layer of skin on our face and body is regenerated daily. In other words, the outer layer of skin dies and is replaced by new fresh skin. This process of out with the old and in with the new goes on throughout our early lives. This is exactly why the skin of a younger person is usually supple and vibrant. At around forty years old this natural process begins to slow down dramatically to where our skin is barely regenerating on its own. The skin of an older person can become dull and grey.

Sleep Better and Live Longer

It turns out that getting the proper amount of sleep each night is perhaps the number one thing we can do to live longer and healthier lives. More studies showing the consequences to lack of sleep continue to appear. And it is also looking like sleep depravation can not be made up at a future date. The damage is done.

Sleep For Weight Loss

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it? Then why do so many of us view regular sleep as something that is really not all that important? I’ll just make up the sleep on the weekend, or on my next vacation, we say. Well, unfortunately studies are showing it just does not work like that when it comes to sleep. A sleep deficit cannot be made up by getting an occasional complete night sleep. Sleep must come in a regular and consistent pattern to achieve the desired results. We spend millions of dollars on diets, vitamins, medicine, and on doctors for our health.

Improve Your Digestion

Most people that have any of the common digestion problems are lacking in either probiotics or digestive enzymes. These digestive problems can be everything from heart burn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and gas to more serious conce s like diverticulosis and ulcers. Both probiotics and enzymes are essential for breaking down the food we eat into usable caloric energy. But, it is often very impossible to know which one of these we are lacking. In many cases we are lacking in both.

The "Skinny Fat"

For many years now coconut oil has been criticized as unhealthy because it is classified as a saturated fat. Saturated fats are also fats that are of animal origin that definitely play a role in cardiovascular disease. So, it was lumped into this saturated fat category by doctors and nutritionist, and we were told to avoid these fats. In coconut producing and eating regions of the world people were told to stop eating it, because it caused heart disease.
