So I’ve installed this little chatbox thing that you can see on the right of this post! I’m pretty excited about it because I’ve been getting lots of spam comments which has been really inhibiting my ability to get to know YOU, the people who visit my blog! So please feel free to say hi and/or leave a message if I’m offline! A simple hi will make my day!!

A random food/snack idea that I want to share…

Frozen bananas dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in walnuts. High in vitamins, antioxidants and iron. Deceptively looks like ice cream and tastes absolutely fantastic. Think it is time you gave it a shot?

So… there is a new mega antioxidant supplement in town…

September 4th, 2011 Posted in Welcome

Everybody knows how important the heart is and how important it is in relation to our entire cardiovascular system. In fact, our entire existence and functionality are completely dependent on one pumping muscle located inside our ribcage. So it is no surprise that it is extremely vital and important that we take good care of it

Now, I want to share with you about this excellent supplement which has been designed for complete cardiovascular health in mind that I have just discovered out there in the market. The name is Proflavanol and its makers are none other than the multi-awards winner Usana Health Science.

Before I go on to ramble about why and what makes this supplement so powerful and good for you, I’ll start with that basics. Firstly, we all know how important Vitamin C is for your health. We need Vitamin C for daily optimal bodily functions such as for digestion, metabolism, vitamin absorption, adequate collagen production, etc (the list goes on and on), and we need it for optimal performance in our physical and mental work. Vitamin C is so good, it also helps ensure that we have strong muscles, teeth, bones, skin, immune system and a health liver. Not only that, it also promotes mental health, helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and colds, and supports overall optimum body health.

Next, let me introduce to you grape seed extract (GSE). For those who don’t know what it is, grape seed extracts are extracts/derivatives from grape seeds, and they contain a strong concentration of Vitamin E, flavonoids (an amazing antioxidant), linolei acids (an essential fatty acid needed for good health) and a whole bunch of good stuff with fancy chemical names. What you need to know though, is that GSEs have very strong antioxidant properties that will help protect your body against free radicals. They also have many health benefits including healthy weight maintenance/management, cell and cardiovascular health, heart diseases treatment/prevention and cancer prevention.

So what makes this Proflavanol supplement so powerful and good?

What sets this supplement apart from others is their hybrid-ing of the two very strong and healthy antioxidants: Vitamin C and GSE. Essentially, they took Vitamin C and grape fruit extract and synergistically combined them to make babies called Proflavanol. A hybrid of Vitamin C and GSE means that you have one godly strong and amazing antioxidant which can help flush your system of toxins, fight free radicals, maintain healthier younger looking skin, strengthen your immune system and decrease your chances on developing illnesses and diseases. This hybrid antioxidant seems to be the only one in the market as Usana uses the Nutritional Hybrid Technology which allows them to combine previously incompatible products together. So cheers to Usana for coming up with this free-radical warrior!

Now if you’re taking Proflavanol (or considering taking Proflavanol) it is recommended to take at least 2 tablets per day. For active people such as personal trainers and athletes, take at least 4 tablets a day to ensure optimum physical performance. And if you’re extra stressed, feeling burnt out or feeling sick, takes 6 tablets per day for 2-3 days to give your immune system a boost and get your strength and health back! For me, I personally felt that I had more energy to keep churning through the day and I have never felt my best! It perfectly complements my healthy lifestyle and so for all you people who are trying to be healthy (which I think I can safely assume are all of you!), I do recommend you to try it!

Stay healthy and live well!

New post update!

Interesting fact: Did you know that according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, women born in 2009 can expect to live to almost 84 while men can expect to live to 79 years old?

I was certainly surprised when I read that as I was thinking about the recent obesity epidemic that is still on the rise. But then after doing a bit of research, it all made sense. Of course, technology has greatly advanced in recent times, enabling doctors to keep their patients alive just for a few more extra years. It got me thinking though, what IS the point of staying alive and enduring all the medication and pain if you can’t ENJOY life? If you are with me on that thought, here are 10 sure-fire ways to ensure that you will have less risk of experiencing health issues (particularly in your older years) and keep living life for longer and happier: How to live longer, healthier and happier.

On another note, check out this recipe for brownies! Heart-Healthy Baked bean brownies Yes, they are actually made out of baked bean, have less than half the normal amount of sugar of the original recipe and there are oats in them! Pretty darn healthy if you ask me! I’m off to try it soon… but if anyone else does before I get the chance, let me know how they taste like!
