My Daily Six #6 -Fat Fighters

I'm writing about Fat Fighters last but it is my first love! If you read my blog you know these things from my other posts. (Read other post here.) I call Fat Fighters my "Life Changing" favorite product.

Have a

A carb craving?

It’s okay to indulge every once in a while when you have Advanced Formula Fat Fighter with Carb Inhibitors!  Simply take Fat Fighter up to an hour after eating, and it will absorb some of the fat and carbohydrates from your food so that your body doesn’t. We like to refer to this top-selling product as It Works! Global’s “Cheat Pill.”

HOW DOES FAT FIGHTER WORK?

NeOpuntia®

Fat Fighter’s active ingredient, NeOpuntia®, is derived from the prickly pear cactus, and it is the most powerful, gluten-free, kosher, and vegetarian fat-binding ingredient on the market today. Its natural fibers have lipopholic properties, binding to the fat from your foods in the stomach. As a result, some of the fat from your foods is not absorbed by the body, but rather excreted from your system naturally.

Phaseolamin

Fat fighter also contains phaseolamin, a white kidney bean extract that acts as a carb inhibitor. The white kidney bean extract paralyzes the enzyme in your stomach that turns the starch from carbs into sugar during the digestive process.  This prevents the body from absorbing some of those carbohydrates, and they are excreted naturally.

My Daily #5 - It's Vital

Lets Face it, we all go through health kicks.  We all wake up one day with an extraordinary urge to prove to ourselves that we do not need junk food and we are going to get fit…yeah right.  Before I was introduced to It Works  I went through many “health” cycles.  I would fill my refrigerator with fruits and vegetables, toss out my bags of chips and cookies, and run to the nearest health food store to stock up on supplements.  The problem was, although I was enjoying the thought of being healthy, I still wasn’t feeling a difference.

I don't know about you but if I am going to invest money into a product, I want it to work and I want to feel it working.  Time and time again I would line up all of my products on my counter so I could remember to take them.  I'd even buy fancy little pill boxes and shaker cups for my protein shakes, hoping that it would give me the motivation to stick with it. Also hoping that it would make the Protein shake somehow taste better.  It didn’t.  Time and time again I would get discouraged and just throw everything away, or give it to my sister since she never can pass up anything that's free.

Then I was introduced to It Works and have been hooked ever since.  I NEVER forget to take my It's Vital Core Nutrition now.  In fact if I don’t remember to pack them when I go away for the night I notice a massive change in how my body feels.  Tired, miserable (I’m not friendly when I am tired), and lacking motivation big time!

I was already in love with the Fat Fighters but when I heard they decided to enhance the It's Vital Core Nutrition, and shrink them, I was beyond excited! Yes, I was excited about a vitamin, you read that correctly.

So now I am on a strict routine of (or mostly try to be) My Daily Six that I enjoy everyday. I take my It’s Vital Core Nutrition right when I wake up. Really strict huh?  The vitamins are coated with mind so they will not give you a stomach ache if you haven’t eaten yet.  They are also very easy to swallow. I start my day out right!

Q&A about It's Vital
What is It's Vital Core Nutrition Formula?
It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula is a whole-food multivitamin that meets your core nutrition needs with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. It is naturally derived from over 30 pesticide-free, plant-based ingredients, including broccoli, carrot, oranges, blueberry, strawberry, kale, and more. These premium natural sources provide increased amounts of Vitamins A, D, B6, B12, C, and E.

What are the benefits of taking It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula daily?

With patented controlled-release technology that mimics the way nutrients are naturally released from foods in your body, you’ll experience sustained nourishment that lasts for up to 12 hours and responds to your body's stress levels and nutritional needs. The mind/body energy blend keeps you energized and sharp mentally and physically while the improved metabolic support helps sustain your energy and boosts your body’s ability to burn calories.

What is the difference between the previous It’s Vital Advanced Formula Multivitamin and the new It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula?
It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula has taken the original It’s Vital supplement with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients and made it even better.

It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula tablets are small and easy to swallow with a sweet minty coating to help them go down smoothly. We recommend that you not crush or cut the It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula tablet as this will decrease the effectiveness of the patented controlled-release technology and you may not experience sustained nourishment throughout your day.

Take three tablets daily. To experience best results, we recommend that you take It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula with your first meal of the day.

No, It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula is gluten free.

Can I take It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula with other supplements?
We recommend that you not take Advanced Formula Fat Fighter along with It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula as Fat Fighter could decrease the benefits and effectiveness of some of the essential vitamins, phytonutrients, and antioxidants found in It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula.

Why is it best to take It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula with my first meal of the day?
The patented controlled-release technology responds to your body’s nutritional needs to give you the essential vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients you need right when you need them. By following your body’s natural digestion, It’s Vital Core Nutrition Formula gives your body the sustained nourishment it needs to keep you running strong all day long.

What is the Difference Between Probiotics and Prebiotics?

Did you just say,"There's a difference?" 

Two very popular health buzzwords unheard of of ten years ago are probiotics and prebiotics. Most of us have associated these two with benefits to our digestion, but we don’t really know much more than that. Fooducate is here to clear up the confusion once and for all.

The short version:

• Probiotics are friendly microorganisms inhabiting our digestive tract that aid digestion and may confer additional health benefits. 
• Prebiotics are non-living, non-digestible carbs that serve as food for Probiotics.

Now the details:

Probiotics are, for the most part, bacteria that reside in our intestinal tract. Other types of probiotics are yeast. Probiotics get into our intestines from foods we eat or supplements. There are many types of probiotics, and each one behaves a bit differently in our gut. Although the term “probiotics” is relatively new, we’ve been ingesting them for thousands of years. Any food that is cultured or fermented has probiotics: 

Foods with probiotics include:

• yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk
• aged cheese such as cheddar, Gouda, or Parmesan
• sauerkraut, kimchi and other pickled versions of veggies
• sourdough bread
• miso (fermented barley or soy or rice)
• tempeh – fermented soy
• kombucha – a fermented tea that is gaining in popularity in the US
• beer, wine (yay!)

The health benefits of probiotics are potentially wide and varied, but scientists are only starting to understand the complex symbiosis between the gut, the bacteria, and the rest of our body. Some potential health benefits, aside from keeping us regular, include treatment of diarrhea, reduction of lactose intolerance, improved immune system, lower chances of colon cancer, and reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol.

By the way, when you are sick and take antibiotics, you’re killing off the germs that made you ill, but also the probiotics.

On to prebiotics. Unlike probitoics, these are not alive. Most prebiotics are some form of fiber. Our body does not digest fiber, but the bacteria in our gut, including the probiotics, digest the fiber. Feeding these helpful bacteria keeps them doing what they are supposed to do in order to help our health.

Foods with prebiotics include:

• raw chicory root – the top source, with almost 60% fiber
• raw Jerusalem artichoke
• raw garlic, leeks, and onions
• whole wheat
• fruits and vegetables
• legumes

Since each of us has different bacteria swimming around in her gut, the effects of the consumption of the same exact probiotics and prebiotics may be very different. Experiment with different foods and see what works for you. The best way to consume probiotics and prebiotics is via food, not supplements.

Sweet Like Candy

Wanna know the difference between these two delicious things? One is a piece of candy that tastes amazing but isn't good for you at all. The other is a deliciously sweet blend of fruits and veggies that packs the nutritional boost of prebiotic fiber, support for healthy blood pressure levels, and the antioxidant strength of 20 cartons of blueberries into every serving of a super soft chew. And want to know the best part!?! They taste the same!!!💃🙌💃Want some Greens Chews in your life? Of course you do.  🍭🍬vs.🍎🍓

Regular™















Okay everyone! Lets get real for a minute or two. Speaking of #2 I know it is not a topic that everyone just loves to discuss.

But...




(Adorable book available on Amazon.com)

It's a FACT. We ALL do it!

Guess what else is a FACT*?

Roughly 70-80 percent of your immune system is located in the digestive system.
You eat food to ultimately nourish all of your cells. If you make poor food choices or if your body cannot digest, absorb, and utilize the food due to poor digestive function, you probably will eventually develop signs, symptoms, and finally a diagnosable illness.
Digestive insufficiencies contribute to a wide range of health issues, including migraine headaches, depression, arthritis, foggy thinking, autoimmune illness, autism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, and more.
Human bodies carry anywhere between 5 and 25 pounds of fecal matter at any given time, depending on your diet, and your weight.


Wait! What?! How much?

So when I am standing on the scale those pounds are added on to my total?

And maybe this could be an answer to why

I'm feeling run down and get sick all of the time?


YEP!


So at It Works they know that your digestive health is crucial to your over all health. That is probably why 10+ products we carry assist in your digestive health.

Regular is the one I want to focus on first. Why? Well,


Regular is a naturally based supplement that is designed to aid in elimination and restore and support normal colon function gently. Using Regular ensures daily removal of toxins and waste material and offers a gentle way to cleanse the colon.


Listen to what Dr. Don says about it.

I use it. This is one of the first products that I decided to use. My digestive tract has been crazy for the last several years. I was getting desperate. So I added this to my nightly routine. I follow the Directions, take 1 before bed time. Things improved immediately. People! Do you know how awesome that is?! Plus added bonus, I started loosing weight. Well... Yeah! But I was also able to jump start past the plateau of loosing pounds. I felt better. I had more energy. Yay!
