Nitrogen: Source of Energy?

In a effort to keep the readers of this blog informed, every once in a while I'll post a newsletter I receive in its entirety. Well today is that day. Mr. Brazos Minchew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita, writes in the TriVita's Weekly Wellness Report about energy, and the unexpected source, nitrogen.

I hear people all the time saying how tired they feel. Is being tired the result of a lack of energy? Or is it the lack of energy that makes you tired? Mr. Minchew will try to unpack the theory surrounding our lack of energy. Below is the complete article by Mr. Minchew.

An Unexpected Source of Energy: Nitrogen

Everyone creates energy. However, not everyone feels energetic.

Merely existing is not enough. Being energetic, feeling a zest for life – this is a much better way to live. It's having the resources you need to accomplish whatever you want: to make your dreams come true, or for the smaller tasks of the day. Feeling energetic inspires optimism and healthy self-esteem. Feeling energetic makes you happy and gives you hope.

Real energy
Real energy is more than just a passing mood. It's a complex series of biochemical and electrical processes. In order for you to feel energetic your body must carry out a long series of interactions, very much like a long line of dominos falling over in the right sequence. Each transaction requires the energy from the previous domino, and donates energy to the next domino in line. The end result contributes to the way you feel and your ability to live the life of your dreams.

The first step in the production of energy is eating the basic nutrients: sugars, proteins and fats. Sugars provide a rapid but brief donation of energy. Proteins donate five times more energy than sugar. Fats donate eight times more! These three nutrients make up the basis for energy production and the basis for your future wellness. This makes the selection of your foods very important, so choose them well.

The nitrogen cycle
To make energy from protein we must first process it through the nitrogen cycle. You may remember that the air we breathe is about 78 percent nitrogen. Bacteria in the soil "fix" nitrogen into the earth to grow healthy plants (so does lightning). Fertilizers are mostly made of nitrogen. Without it, plants will not grow and humans cannot process protein; nitrogen is a very important basic building block of life.

We get nitrogen from eating fruits and vegetables. We can also get it from whole-food supplements such as Adaptogen 10 Plus. In our body, nitrogen is stable as nitrate and active as nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is probably the most important source of energy for the heart, vascular system and immune system. Nitric oxide interacts with CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) to produce energy inside each and every one of our body's millions of cells. In fact, the death of each cell occurs because nitric oxide and CoQ-10 cannot balance the cell's energy.

Protein and nitrogen needs
We need about 50 to 65 grams of protein each day (about 1/3 gram of protein per pound of body weight). However, we can only digest about 25 grams at a time (the amount that fills the palm of your hand). One reason for this is that we have only a limited reservoir of nitrogen. As mentioned, we get nitrogen from eating fruits and vegetables, but, like many important nutrients, we cannot store it. Since processing protein will use up large amounts of available nitrogen, we need to replace it by eating more fruits and vegetables. So, if we want energy from protein, we simply must eat our fruits and vegetables.

Nitrogen is also manufactured by bacteria in the human body. So, this is why probiotics and enzymes are needed - they also help convert protein into energy through the nitrogen cycle. TriVita's Digestive Complex serves to encourage healthy bacteria in the gut for protein metabolism and increased energy.

The nitrogen danger
There is a dark side to protein metabolism that's found in a particular form of nitrogen: ammonia. Excess ammonia may be formed in our body and brain if we eat protein but do not have enough nitrogen to complete the energy process. This is often seen in people who experience bloating or uncomfortable fullness after a healthy, protein-rich meal. It may also be seen in those who experience excessive fatigue after a meal.

The remedy is to encourage protein digestion with probiotics (as found in Digestive Complex). We can also eat extra servings of fruit and vegetables. Plus, supplements can provide a lot of help. I would suggest one serving of Adaptogen 10 Plus and CoQ-10 at each meal until the fatigue eases and vibrant energy replaces it!

Living a life lacking energy is no way to live. The science behind TriVita's products makes them one of the leading nutritional companies in the US. I'm not a doctor, nor have I ever suggested that I was, but I do know that all of the TriVita products have come about because of thorough scientific studies.

Weight loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

When it comes to losing weight, everyone has an opinion about what works best. Low fat, low carb, or Mediterranean style—you've probably heard stories of people dropping major pounds by following one of these diets. The truth is you'll lose weight on any diet as long as you take in fewer calories than you burn. Keep reading to find out which diet is best for you.

Smiling Foods

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studied more than 800 overweight adults over 2 years, and researchers found that as long as people made healthy choices, the percentage of protein, carbs, and fat consumed didn't really matter. All the study participants (divided into groups eating low fat, high fat, high carb, or high protein) lost about the same amount of weight when they ate fewer calories than they burned.

The bottom line: The diet you choose should make you feel good, keep you satisfied, and limit your cravings for unhealthy foods. So how do you decide what plan will work for you?

  • Try balancing various amounts of lean protein (poultry, fish, and lean beef), complex carbs (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains), and healthy fat (nuts, olive oil, and seeds). Find the combination that makes you full and energetic.
  • Keep a food journal of what you eat and how you feel. Over time, you'll start to see patterns emerge.
  • If you're a Team Beachbody member, you can visit the Eat Smart section of the Web site and choose from three different pre-populated meal plans (Balanced, Low Carb, and Active Lifestyle), or custom design your own according to your preferences.

When you decide what kind of diet to follow, here's how to get the most out of it:

  • Low-fat diet. The amount of fat you eat varies according to the diet's creator. The Ornish Diet, designed by cardiologist Dean Ornish to help people reverse heart disease, recommends that you eat 10 percent of your calories from fat. The American Heart Association, on the other hand, considers low fat to be up to 35 percent from fat. A low-fat diet should consist of lots of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans and legumes, and little meat. It is not an excuse to eat mountains of pasta or processed carbs (like fat-free cookies or crackers), as these will spike your blood sugar, make you hungrier, and add a lot of unnecessary calories.
  • Low-carb diet. Plans like Atkins, South Beach, and the "Paleo" diet claim that by cutting carbohydrates your body will have to dig into its fat stores for energy. That is often true, at least at first, until your body adapts to the decreased energy from carbs and rapid weight loss slows. Plus, if you chow down on artery-clogging bacon, butter, and steak every day and don't choose heart-healthy protein and fat sources (like lean meats, nuts, and olive oil), you can develop other health problems and nutrient deficiencies. Watch out for saturated fat in foods like whole milk, butter, and meat, and be mindful of portion sizes when you're following a low-carb diet. You might find it hard to sustain a low-carb diet over the long term because you have less energy and feel tired a lot. If that happens, just switch to another diet plan.
  • Mediterranean Salad Mediterranean-style diet.This has gained popularity over the last few years as a healthy, balanced approach to eating. It emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, unsaturated fats from nuts and olive oil, and lean protein like fish and chicken. You don't want to overdo the pasta, cheese, and alcohol on this diet because these calories add up quickly. This is a moderate-fat diet that offers a variety of choices and will suit many different tastes. You'll find that most Beachbody® nutrition plans follow guidelines that are similar to a Mediterranean-style diet. It's easy to get all the nutrients you need to sustain a healthy, energetic lifestyle with this method of eating.

When you've found the diet that suits you, you may notice that your weight starts to drop without a lot of effort. You'll be more satisfied and less prone to cravings, which will help you be consistent with your plan. As long as you stick to your diet and combine it with a workout program that also fits your preferences, you will be able to lose weight and keep it off.

Weight Loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

What you eat is very important and it is possible to put together a simple and healthy meal plan. One that is not going to be complicated and hard to follow. It is possible and I will show you how. The healthy meal plans below will help you achieve your health goals while simultaneously shedding fat off your body.

Here are 3 healthy meal plans you can get started on right now.

Breakfast
Protein should be included in every meal throughout the day and breakfast is no exception. Make sure to include organic eggs, cottage cheese, raw nut butter or smoked fish as one component of your healthy breakfast. Carbohydrates should also be included in the form of oatmeal, sprouted grain bread, fruit and/or vegetables.

3 great sample breakfasts are:

  • Oatmeal with almond butter, topped with fresh berries and a bit of Stevia to sweeten.
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 slice sprouted grain toast and ½ grapefruit
  • Smoked salmon over sliced tomato and 1 green apple

Lunch
The same rules apply as breakfast. An easy way to ensure that you always have a healthy protein available for lunch is to pack leftovers from dinner the night before. Leftover hamburger, chicken legs or wild fish are all great to include in a salad or over vegetables.

3 great sample lunches are:

  • Baked Tilapia over sautéed spinach, green salad with chick peas (oil and vinegar as dressing) followed by ½ cup of pineapple.
  • Leftover chicken legs with ½ sweet potato and broccoli.
  • Lean hamburger over portabella mushroom and brown rice. Cooked vegetables or a green salad. 1 orange.

Dinner
You can really be creative with dinner. Look for recipes that are quick and easy and modify them with your own healthy ingredients as needed. Again, always remember to include protein and carbohydrates.

3 great sample dinners are:

  • Mexican salad: Ground beef over shredded lettuce and tomato, guacamole and brown rice.
  • Grilled Salmon over asparagus, green salad (oil and vinegar as dressing) followed by a fresh fruit salad.
  • Buffalo meat balls over rice pasta with sautéed broccoli.

Snacks
You never want to let your body get too hungry. Hunger often leads to binge eating of unhealthy food and makes sticking to a healthy eating regimen much more difficult. It’s important to keep snacks handy so you never experience hunger or a blood sugar low without having a healthy option nearby.

3 great snacks are:

  • 2 Tbsp almond butter on ½ apple
  • Trail mix made up of walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit (no sugar added)
  • Cottage cheese and pineapple

Incorporate just a few of these meals into your daily eating regimen and you will see an incredible difference in your weight loss results. Following simple and healthy meal plans like these is the first step in achieving your health and fitness goals.

Sonoran Bloom Nopalea

Inflammation is defined as a localized reaction of tissue to irritation, injury, or infection. Symptoms of inflammation include pain, swelling, red coloration to the area, and sometimes loss of movement or function. Although we commonly think of inflammation as the painful component of arthritis, inflammation is also a component of chronic diseases such as heart disease and strokes.

According to TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ web site, "If inflammation is the problem, Nopalea™ is the solution!"

Many chronic diseases start with inflammation. Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ drives down inflammation created by trauma, toxins, allergy, infection and nutrient deficiency. To protect yourself from the nutrient deficiencies that can be a cause of inflammation, you should supplement your healthy diet with daily nutrients.

If you suffer from inflammation, the most common medical anti-inflammatory treatments include rest, light exercise, weight maintenance, stretching, and medications designed to reduce the inflammation and control the pain. However, some medications can be very expensive, and many medicines, according to health professionals, have adverse affects on the human body.

On the other hand, Nopalea™ is a natural, concentrated wellness drink made from the Nopal cactus fruit, which is harvested from the Sonoran Desert at the peak of its freshness. From there, the fruit is juiced to a puree and bottled in a state-of-the-art facility, which ensures quality and freshness while also preserving the antioxidants and their potency.

What about the the food we eat? Can it be helpful to fight inflammation, or can it increase inflammation?

There are many pro-inflammatory foods that people eat on a regular basis, like "junk foods, high-fat meats, sugar and fast foods. All of these pro-inflammation foods will increase inflammation in your body. This is partially due to the unhealthy fats used in preparing and processing these foods, especially trans fats and saturated fats. Processed meats such as lunch meats, hot dogs and sausages contain chemicals such as nitrites that are associated with increased inflammation and chronic disease." [1]

Eating foods that fight inflammation and avoiding pro-inflammatory foods is your best bet. However, on some days, we're forced to grab a fast food lunch and/or dinner. Our lives are filled with many obstacles, and sometimes we cannot always eat a healthy meal. But, if you suffer from inflammation, which can lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease and strokes, maybe, just maybe, taking an all natural daily supplement like Nopalea™ is right for you.

It's the Betalains within the Nopal cactus that provides natural antioxidants to a polluted human body. Pollutants, or toxins, from the air we breathe, and the water we drink, are just part of what causes inflammation. Harnessing the power of betalains that flourish in the Nopal cactus, is what gives Nopalea the power to fight inflammation and detoxify the body.

Nopalea™ combines its betalains with other anti-toxic ingredients to combat the toxins (poisons) where they strike us first: right inside the trillions of cells in our bodies. Yes, you read that correctly, Nopalea fights what gives our bodies the most problems, right at the cellular level.

Nopalea™ specifically "targets signs of inflammation in your body and reduces them quickly." [2] Its betalains and other anti-inflammatory ingredients work directly on the fluid surrounding your cells. There, they draw off the toxins and excess water to reduce inflammation and rebalance the cellular environment.

Remember, "If inflammation is the problem, Nopalea™ is the solution!"

If you're a person that suffers from inflammation, maybe it's time to give TriVita's Sonoran Bloom Nopalea™ a try. Give your cells a fighting chance and try it today!

Weight Loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

Lemons and weight loss are lately in the news quite often with success stories of how people have accomplished rapid weight loss drinking individual lemon drinks. There are lots ways that you can reach quick weight loss, and so if you are looking to lose weight, then you should first do your homework. Using lemons for weight loss is just one of them.

Some people like myself, consider that rapid weight loss is unhealthy because they believe that it can’t be secure to lose weight that instant, but you should know that there is nothing bad with quick weight loss, and utilising lemons to reach weight loss is really advantageous to your health as it cleans your body at the same time.

A well best-known lemon diet which is utilised by a lot of famous people is called the ‘Master Cleanse’. This diet using lemons to attain rapid weight loss was really contrived different years ago and has been used successfully by thousands of individuals ever since.

Some people who undertake the lemon diet for smart weight loss also take supplementations, however taking pills and medicines can be actually dangerous. Vitamin add-on are fine and so are most herbal cures for weight loss however while you are on the lemon diet for weight loss which is an all liquid diet, you only drink liquids and do not eat anything. You cannot do this diet for than ten days because if you keep going longer than that then you will get gravely ill.

Weight loss of between five and fifteen pounds is what the average someone who attempts the lemon diet for quick weight loss is expected to lose.One of the most essential things to do before you start your lemon diet is to prepare and the best way to do this is to buy a ‘Master Cleanse Kit’ which provides you with everything you take to start your rapid weight loss program.

Although cardio exercise is a essential for weight loss, it is not recommended on the master cleanse due to the very low calorie intake. Still you should also know that if you are using lemons as a method of instant weight loss it is less likely that you will be able to keep the weight off for a substantial period of time, and so you are going to want to come up with a different plan for the long-term but having said that it is great if you want to kick start your diet or have a few pounds to lose before an main date!

Vitamin C

Many of us have heard about the importance of vitamin C, yet we sometimes forget and need a reminder of the many benefits of this all important vitamin. With that said, I've gathered some information from the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMM). Because this vitamin is so important to your health, I've left the majority of the site's content intact, and I give UMM full credit for this information.

"Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your body doesn't store it. You get what we need, instead, from food. You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which occur naturally when our bodies transform food into energy. The build-up of free radicals over time may be largely responsible for the aging process and can contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.

Some evidence suggests that many people may be mildly deficient in vitamin C, although serious deficiencies are rare in industrialized countries. Smoking cigarettes lowers the amount of vitamin C in the body, so smokers are more at risk of deficiency. Signs of vitamin deficiency include dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate, easy bruising; nosebleeds; and a decreased ability to ward off infection. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy.

Low levels of vitamin C have been associated with a number of conditions, including high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, stroke, some cancers, and atherosclerosis (the build-of plaque in blood vessels that can lead to heart attack and stroke). Getting enough vitamin C from your diet (by eating lots of fruit and vegetables) may help reduce the risk of developing some of these conditions. The evidence that taking vitamin C supplements will help or prevent any of these conditions is lacking, however.

Results of scientific studies on whether vitamin C is helpful for preventing heart attack or stroke are mixed. Vitamin C doesn't lower cholesterol levels or reduce the overall risk of heart attack, but some evidence suggests that it may help protect arteries against damage.

Some studies -- though not all -- suggest that vitamin C, acting as an antioxidant, can slow down the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). It helps prevent damage to LDL ("bad") cholesterol, which then builds up as plaque in the arteries and can cause heart attack or stroke. Other studies suggest that vitamin C may help keep arteries flexible.

In addition, people who have low levels of vitamin C may be more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease, all potential results of having atherosclerosis. Peripheral artery disease is the term used to describe atherosclerosis of the blood vessels to the legs. This can lead to pain when walking, known as intermittent claudication. But there is no evidence that taking vitamin C supplements will help.

The best thing to do is get enough vitamin C through your diet. That way, you also get the benefit of other antioxidants and nutrients contained in food. If you have low levels of vitamin C and have trouble getting enough through the foods you eat, ask your doctor about taking a supplement.

Vitamin C (500 mg) appears to work with other antioxidants, including zinc (80 mg), beta-carotene (15 mg), and vitamin E (400 IU) to protect the eyes against developing macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of legal blindness in people over 55 in the United States. The people who seem to benefit are those with advanced AMD. It isn't known whether this combination of nutrients helps prevent AMD or is beneficial for people with less advanced AMD.

Some excellent sources of vitamin C are oranges, green peppers, watermelon, papaya, grapefruit, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, mango, broccoli, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and citrus juices or juices fortified with vitamin C. Raw and cooked leafy greens (turnip greens, spinach), red and green peppers, canned and fresh tomatoes, potatoes, winter squash, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapple are also rich sources of vitamin C. Vitamin C is sensitive to light, air, and heat, so you'll get the most vitamin C if you eat fruits and vegetables raw or lightly cooked." [1]

Since vitamin c is so important to your health, and it's so sensitive to light, air, and heat, I believe you should take a daily supplement to make sure you get enough of this essential vitamin. I'm not alone!

Dr. Alfred Libby and two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling considered Vitamin C absolutely vital to good health. So much so that Dr. Pauling wrote extensively about its extraordinary importance in his book on living longer.

In the early 1990s, several large population studies showed a reduction in cardiovascular disease in those who consumed vitamin C. The most significant report came from UCLA in 1992, where it was announced that men who took 800 mg a day of vitamin C lived six years longer than those who consumed the FDA's recommended daily allowance of 60 mg a day. The study, which evaluated 11,348 participants over a ten year period of time, showed that high vitamin C intake extended average life span and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease by 42%. This study was published in the journal Epidemiology (1992; 3:3, pp 194-202).

Separately, Thomas Levy, MD, JD, Cardiologist has said this, "The lower your vitamin C blood and tissue levels go, the greater your chances of developing significant heart disease."

Most pharmaceutical companies claim that all supplements are the same. I believe there is a difference between many supplements. Although I don't have all the answers, I personally prefer the Vitamin C crystals, developed by Dr. Libby. Although this is what I prefer, it's up to you to find the supplements that deliver the best results for you.

After reading this article, I think we can all AGREE on the importance of vitamin c. It's not a mystery regarding the benefits of vitamin c. Case studies and scientific evidence has proven that vitamin c is essential to your daily diet. If you're not getting enough through your regular diet, TriVita's Vitamin C crystals may be right for you.

Fat Loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

The topic of fat loss is a hugely debated issue these days. With 67% of the population either overweight or obese, it effects nearly everyone. It seems like everywhere you turn there is a new pill, gimmick or fad diet to help magically shed excess body fat.

Sorry, it’s not that simple. Don’t get discouraged though. Fat loss requires an educated and proven plan, coupled with some intense physical effort. There are six basic keys to help shed that twenty extra pounds of belly fat.

1. CREATE A CALORIC DEFICIT: Without creating caloric deficit you’ll never lose body fat. It’s really common sense. Your metabolism must burn more calories than you consume each day. How do you increase your internal metabolism? By eating frequently with plenty of protein, healthy fats and vegetables at every meal. I recommend a 33/33/33 percent split of carbs, protein and healthy fats.

Drink water like it’s going out style. Get rid of the coke, coffee and calorie loaded fruit drinks. Eat six small meals ( around 300 calories each) every day in three hour intervals. This tricks your body into burning the calories you eat and not storing them as fat. In addition, you must rev up your metabolism through intense physical exercise.

2. READ NUMBER ONE AGAIN: Yes, it’s that important. Research has shown that 80 to 90 percent of weight loss is diet related. No matter how much you exercise, if you’re not eating right you’re robbing your results. I recommend a nutritionist for most of my clients. The accountability and one-on-one approach that comes with a nutritionist works very well. If your budget is tight Fast Track to Fat Loss is a great low-cost alternative to the nutritionist.

3. INCREASE THE COST OF EACH EXERCISE: In terms of metabolic demand, there is a huge difference between a lunge and an arm curl. The former challenges tons of muscle groups and activates your energy systems. The latter leaves you fat and skinny. Squats, deadlifts and lunges have a very high metabolic cost. Isolation exercises and machine-based exercises don’t. Lifting big weight = lots of calories burned!

4. INCREASE THE COST OF EACH WORKOUT: Take point #3 a step further. You must not only look at each exercise, but the total metabolic cost of each workout. The more calories you burn every workout, the fasted you’ll lose fat. You need to perform circuit style workouts with total-body lifts. I recommend 4 to 8 total-body exercises with no more than a minute between sets. The circuit should include the basic human movements: push, pull, squat, lunge, deadlift, and twist. I recommend two to three minutes between circuits. You should alternate you rep and set range each workout. For example: day 1 – five reps/four sets, day 2 – ten reps/three sets, and day 3- fifteen reps/two sets.

5. PERFORM HIIT (high intensity interval training): HIIT burns more calories and stimulates your metabolism more than steady state cardio. Not only will you burn more calories while you’re doing HIIT, but it also revs your metabolism higher than traditional forms of cardio by boosting EPOC(excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption) In English, this means your fat-burning furnace runs 24 to 48 hours longer. The benefit: you burn calories while sitting on the couch a day later.

Try this on your bike: warm-up for five minutes, sprint for one minute (85-95% HRM), then recover for thirty seconds (50-60% HRM). Complete this cycle four times and cool-down for another five minutes.

6. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH SOCIAL SUPPORT: Are your co-workers forcing you to eat at McDonald’s everyday? Quit your job! Are your friends pressuring you into drinking beer and eating wings every weekend? Ditch them! Is your wife tempting you to eat ice cream every night? Divorce her!

I think you see where I am going with this. If you don’t surround yourself with an environment that’s not conducive to losing fat you’ll have a difficult time finding that Health body. You need to attack fat loss with a passion. Don’t lose focus of your goals.
