Healthy Living Is More Than A Number

By Jeanne Fusco

These days more than ever before, there is a greater emphasis on healthy living; just look at the growing numbers of people joining gyms, health clubs, and dieting as well as the groups of people getting together in their communities to form walking clubs and other groups such as Stroller Strides.  Keeping a healthy weight not only helps with overall physical health but is also recognized to play a very important role in our mental and emotional well being. 

Although we know the importance of maintaining a healthy weight, we often struggle in the day to day choices we must make to achieve that goal. Whether we at home raising our kids or out in the workforce, there are so many distractions that make it easier to “give in” to the drive through or skip exercise rather than take the few extra minutes to make healthier choices.   All the choices and decisions we make throughout the day have long term effects on the quality of our lives.  Obesity is now considered an epidemic in the United States. Unless we all want a shorter life span, there are things we can do to maintain a healthier weight and live a healthy life.

There are a lot of weight loss and fitness products, programs, and systems out there. Natural is always better than pharmaceutical and I’d like to share with you some ways that the Xyngular Core 4 product line can help you lose weight and help promote a long and healthy life.   The Core 4 system is quick and easy to use, has clinical studies behind it, produces effective weight loss at a healthy steady rate and doesn’t require major changes in your lifestyle or eating habits. 

1. Reduce Calories, Fat and Sodium with the LEAN Smoothie Shake*.  It’s as easy as making the choice and decision to have a delicious Lean Smoothie to replace that fatty, fast meal in the morning. Protein supports the development of lean muscle which uses more calories to function than fat and burn calories for several hours at a higher rate than when at rest.   Proteins are made up of essential amino acids-in clinical studies, researchers have found that when there are more amino acids in the blood (like when you drink a high quality protein shake), the muscles collect more of these “building blocks” which increases lean muscle growth.  Lean contains 10 grams of protein with only 44 calories, 0 Fat/cholesterol and Sodium with only 1.3 gr carbohydrate which is dietary fiber.

2. Increase Your Fiber Intake With Help From CHEAT.*  Face it; most Americans don’t consume enough fiber, with the average American eating less than half of the recommended amount per day. The National Fiber Council recommends that women take in about 25 grams per day and men 38 grams per day. A fiber rich diet helps you feel full longer, contributes to bowel health and can help keep your cholesterol levels in check. Adding the flavorless CHEAT food sprinkle to everything you eat causes you to eat fiber with every food—even those that are traditionally NOT fiber rich. CHEAT particles also expand, making you feel fuller longer and encapsulating fat and carbohydrate food particles. The secret to Cheat is Konnyaku or Glucomannan root. As encapsulated food particles pass through your body, the body “sees” the fiber and not the fat/carb, essentially not digesting them and passing them on as fiber. This is how CHEAT also decreases total caloric intake by 25%. Each ¼ tsp serving of CHEAT adds 50 mg of fiber to your diet effortlessly and tastelessly.

3. Engage in regular cleansing with FLUSH.* Effective long term weight loss and overall health go hand in hand. Many people today suffer from health problems like heart disease, pain, listlessness/ lack of energy and constipation that can be related to toxins in their colon. With the heavily processed diets we eat, it is not uncommon to have digestive issues that not only weigh us down but bloats our bellies, gives us gas, constipates us and makes us feel badly. FLUSH is a gentle all natural alternative to other colon cleanse products and regimes that produces a daily detox without that “uh-oh” feeling.

4.  Rev up your metabolism with ACCELERATE.*  We all know that our metabolism is a key factor in rapid weight loss.  A higher metabolism gives us more energy and increases our caloric burn rate. Thus, fat burning and weight loss are accelerated as we increase our metabolic activity level.  That is the strategy behind ACCELERATE.

5.  Get Enough Heart Healthy Antioxidants with Xyngular Global Blend.*  Diets rich in fruits and vegetables are known to help reduce our risk for heart disease because they are richer in fiber and provide antioxidants like vitamins E and C. Xyngular Global Blend combines over 25 of the most powerful super fruits together in one fantastic tasting beverage. Just 1-4 oz a day will provide your body with the primary and secondary antioxidants it needs to support a healthy immune system and overall health.

Being healthy is more than a number on a scale. Losing weight and providing your body with a solid antioxidant foundation are 2 of the 3 steps for good health.  Boosting the metabolism often results in more fat being burned and if you add exercise to the mix, you can increase this effect.  Some easy ways to add exercise into your busy day include:

• Do squats while waiting for the microwave-make sure you squeeze your butt muscles to increase the effect. You will be surprised how many you can do during that minute lunch is warming up!
• Mornings too busy? While the shower is warming up, do pushups!  Pushups use nearly every upper body muscle you have and are a great way to hit them all at once.   If a regular push-up on the floor is too hard, start out by doing them against the wall.
• Whenever you walk, squeeze your butt cheeks to help tighten your Glutes and burn more calories.
• Whenever you sit down, hold in your stomach muscles- 10 seconds of holding your stomach muscles in tightly is equal to doing a sit up!  Do this at first whenever sitting but work your way into doing this when walking-it’s great for your posture too!
• When going to the store, make it a point to park in the farthest spot from the door.  Use the stairs in stores or at work whenever possible.  Take the kids out for a walk around the block after a meal-it’s great family time, physical activity and may help with nap time too! The point is to work exercise and movement into every part of your day.
