What Are Polyphenols and What Do They Do?

Polyphenols are phytochemicals or phytonutrients that have antioxidant properties. They’re mainly found in plants with over 8000 that have been identified.

As antioxidants they help protect the cells in your body, especially cell membranes, from free radical damage. Free radical damage plays a critical role in the aging process. There are three major groups of antixidants:

What Are Lectins and What Do They Do?

Lectins are a group of proteins found in nearly all plants and animals. There are over 100 know types but 12 major lectins that typically cause health issues.

Plants usually have a higher quantity of lectins because they use them as a natural pesticide to protect themselves from being eating by insects. In fact one of the dangers of GMO foods is that lectins have been spliced into their genetic coding to make them more resistant to insects.

While this may help protect crops from insects and reduce the need for pesticides, they increase the risk for stealing your energy and causing you health problems.

Here’s how.

12 Steps to Liver Cleansing and Support

Posted by Dan Hammer //

11/08/2016

Today’s post provides 12 easy steps to liver cleansing and support. This is key because your liver is one of the most important organs in your body. Over 500 chemical and metabolic functions take place in the liver. Your overall health and wellness, as well as how you age and fight disease, will be impacted by the health of your liver.

The more you can improve the health and function of your liver the greater your opportunity to live a healthier life and slow down the aging process.

Now like all lists and suggestions don’t try to incorporate all of them at one time. My suggestion to liver cleansing and support is to read through these 12 suggested steps. Write down the top 4 that stand out to you. Then look at these 4 liver cleansing steps and pick the 2 that you believe you can incorporate into your lifestyle.

Apply them for the next 30 days, and then repeat this process. You might not ever incorporate all 12 steps to liver cleansing and support, but each step you do benefits your liver and over all health.

22 Reasons For L-Arginine Supplementation

Posted by Dan Hammer //

11/01/2016

L-arginine supplementation has become big business in the nutrition industry. What was once reserved for body builders has now been brought into the mainstream health consumer marketplace.

This increased awareness for L-arginine supplementation started with the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine when 3 American researchers were recognized for their discovery of how your endothelium, which lines all of your cardiovascular system, converts the semi-essential amino acid L-Arginine into Nitric Oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system.

Since the discovery of this L-Arginine / Nitric Oxide connection there has been a frenzy of interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry. An interest that has spilled over in the general population as Dr. Oz and others have emphasized the need for L-Arginine supplementation for improved cardiovascular health and overall wellness.

Mistica Clinically Proven Antioxidant Beverage

Mistica is a clinically proven antioxidant beverage which features the remarkable wellness properties of the Brazilian Açaí berry in combination with a rainbow of other nutritionally dense foods! This post will discuss why antioxidants are so important to offsetting the damage from free radicals. And, why Mistica is the leading antioxidant beverage.

Let me start out by asking you a very important question:

Are You Interested In Slowing Down The Aging Process?

If you are like most of the 76+ million Baby Boomers, then the answer is YES!

Mistica Clinically Proven Antioxidant Beverage

The leading cause of aging is free radical damage to our cell membranes.

In very simple terms a free radical is an atom or molecule that is missing an electron in its outer orbit. This makes it extremely unstable. Because of this it will try to steal an electron from a different atom or molecule to stabilize itself. This process causes the affected atom or molecule to become unstable and develop into a new free radical. This begins a chain reaction that can cascade until the final free radicals steal electrons from the cell membrane of some tissue resulting in damage to a living cell.

This constant process of free radicals stealing electrons from living tissue results in the aging process we all experience.

An antioxidant is a molecule that freely gives away its outer electrons. Thus, it will give the free radical its needed electron to return it back to a stable compound. Now, you might be thinking that the antioxidant will become a free radical.

Here is the really impressive aspect of this process. An antioxidant doesn’t become a free radical because they are stable in either form (with or without an even number of electrons in their outer orbit).

The stability of antioxidants allows them to act as free radical scavengers to help prevent cell and tissue damage.
