Enhance your Fat loss

Supplements That Support Fat Metabolism and Weight Management Looking for ways to boost your metabolism and fat loss? As we age we must support our metabolism When your metabolism is functioning optimally, weight loss at any age is more manageable. Did you know? More than two-thirds of adults and almost one-third of children and adolescents in the United States are overweight or obese and over 95% of Americans have some level of metabolic dysfunction? Factors that affect your metabolism speed In general, as you grow older, your metabolism naturally slows down. With age, you burn fewer calories, and your body processes foods differently and less efficiently. Some people also become less active, which adds to weight gain. But you can take control of your metabolism by making simple and consistent changes. Other factors that affect your metabolism besides your age include: · Diet! · Type of exercise · Hormones · Prescription medications/drugs · Sleep patterns · Body size · Gender · Environment Things you can control today 1) Calories: Control the number of calories in your diet, and keep in mind that as you age, you’ll require fewer calories daily. 2) Exercise: Aerobic exercise helps you burn calories, and strength exercises (resistance and weight training) can help you build and maintain muscle mass. Having more muscle means your body will burn more calories while resting. 3) Stop eating so frequently - Extend time between meals. If you eat too often (even if it's healthy) it's difficult to burn fat. 4) Take some time to figure out what your body needs. What is your body telling you? Do certain foods cause inflammation or discomfort? Listen to the signs. Vitamin deficiencies can lead to unexplained weight gain When most people think about malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies, they tend to relate those things to starvation and hunger. But in reality, modern malnutrition comes in the form of being overfed and undernourished. It comes in the form of obesity. The typical western diet plan has been linked with an increased risk of weight gain and a slower metabolism. Did you know? According to The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Obesity is very deceptive. Even though obese people often appear well fed, they are usually deficient in essential nutrients, leading to poor health, disease, and shortened life spans. Here are a List of vitamins and minerals that will support your metabolism and long term weight goals: B vitamins B vitamins are vital for a fully functioning, healthy metabolism. The primary functions of B Vitamins are to aid the body in metabolizing fats, carbs, proteins, and also help access stored energy found in food. Taking B vitamins after being deficient has been shown to help improve metabolic processes. Magnesium Magnesium is necessary for energy production and glycolysis in the body. It also acts as a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems. Diets with higher amounts of magnesium are associated with a significantly lower risk of diabetes, possibly because of the important role magnesium plays in the metabolism of glucose. Like many other nutrients, dietary surveys of adults in the United States regularly show magnesium intakes are well below recommended levels, but a magnesium supplement can ensure you are getting enough magnesium. If you are working out a lot on a restrictive diet, try keeping a handful of nuts on hand for quick energy boosts, and so you don’t wear out as quickly. Vitamin D/K2 Role of Vitamin D in Weight Loss: Increased Metabolism: Some studies suggest that vitamin D may increase metabolism, leading to burning more calories. Reduced Fat Accumulation: Vitamin D may help regulate fat storage and reduce the accumulation of new fat cells. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Vitamin D may improve insulin sensitivity, which can help control blood sugar levels and reduce weight gain. Alpha Lipoic Acid A powerful antioxidant with numerous benefits: Weight loss : Some studies suggest that ALA may cause a slight reduction in body weight in adults. Insulin sensitivity : ALA improves insulin sensitivity which allows the body to use glucose for energy more effectively. Cardiovascular health : ALA may help lower levels of total and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and support healthy blood pressure. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support : ALA can scavenge free radicals and regenerate other antioxidants like Vitamins C and E, which may protect cells from damage.

Stress and Sleep are integral to Weight Management STRESS MANAGEMENT - Stress can have a tremendous impact on our health and weight. Cortisol levels can fluctuate due to injury, illness, emotional stress, or any other situation the body perceives as threatening. While it is important to address the underlying causes of fluctuating cortisol levels, the following strategies may help you manage and adapt to stress more effectively. SLEEP - Optimal sleep can help our body process and recover from our daily stressors. If you struggle to fall or stay asleep or awaken feeling unrefreshed, you must address the foundational reasons. Establish a routine in which you wake up and fall asleep at consistent times every day and provide your body with cues, such as avoiding screens, taking a warm shower, or reading a book, that it is time for sleep. Keep your sleeping area cool, dark, comfortable, and quiet. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, or emotionally strenuous activities near bedtime. No electronics in the bedroom. Electronics are stimulating and their light can negatively affect melatonin (sleepy time hormone) levels. Keep electronics such as televisions, computers, smartphones, gaming consoles and e-readers off in the bedroom. Shut off electronics 30 mins before bed. You need sleep to regenerate and restore. If you don't get at least 7 hours most days, you will be running on an empty tank and it will cause more stress to your body.

Healthy Aging – Longevity and Skin, Hair, Nail Support

Hi there! A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. A severe illness or major surgery may suddenly cause the loss of a large amount of hair. This is usually temporary and is often related to physical or emotional stress ( Telogen effluvium ). Nutritional deficiencies and hormonal problems may also contribute to hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be reversed by normalizing levels of thyroid hormone. Hair loss may also occur if male or female hormones are out of balance. Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they’ve had a baby. It usually grows back, but can oftentimes be a different thickness or texture. Male pattern baldness develops when hair follicles are destroyed as a result of being exposed to too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a metabolite of the male sex hormone, testosterone. This is especially true when it runs in families. Over-the-counter and prescription drugs can cause hair loss that most often improves when medications are stopped. These include blood thinners, birth control pills and some antidepressants, as well as medications used for gout, seizures, arthritis, heart problems, and high blood pressure. Undergoing chemotherapy or radiation may cause temporary hair loss that typically re-grows when treatments are finished. Certain fungal infections of the scalp can cause patchy hair loss, especially in children. Hair loss may also occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus, diabetes or iron deficiency anemia. Finally, certain hair treatments that use chemical dyes, bleaches, and straightening or curling agents, can damage hair and cause it to break off if used incorrectly or too often. Excessive brushing, combing or styling of hair can damage the hair shaft or roots, also causing it to fall out or break.
