Stress is a frequently overlooked factor that can create big problems for your physical health. In fact, it can be one of the biggest threats to your immune system.
Our bodies deal with tremendous amounts of stress on a daily basis—whether it’s the physical stress from daily activities, emotional stress from difficult experiences, or even environmental stress from the toxins around us.
How would you like to have confidence in your body’s ability to handle these pressures, safely and naturally? Now you can with this amazing, naturally based solution: It’s called Confianza.
Confianza is a unique supplement that helps improve your muscle performance and allows you to recover more quickly after exercise or physical labor. It will also help improve short and long term memory, increase your energy levels, and help reduce stress and fatigue. Its special blend of herbs was developed specifically to enhance your ability to cope with a stressful life.
Confianza's proprietary blend of herbs includes many ingredients called adaptogens. Adaptogens are natural substances that work through the adrenal glands to produce adjustments in the body that help combat stress and increase your resistance to it. These ingredients in Confianza can help restore balance within your body, helping you to cope with the stresses in your life, whether they are physical, environmental, or emotional.*

Obesity is absolutely an epidemic in today’s society. How do you fight the fat? The answer—Fat Fighter.
Fat Fighter has NeOpuntia which is a unique cactus ingredient that traps up to 30% of the fat from a meal. You simply take Fat Fighter during or right after a “fatty” meal and it traps the fat, removing it naturally from your body. We all have times when we don’t eat as well as we should. Fat Fighter is scientifically proven to help fight the fat.
Recent research has shown that the unique fiber in NeOpuntia can help and improve blood profiles of fat levels. That means it can help your body decrease the bad LDL cholesterol which clogs arteries and causes problems with heart function, yet at the same time Fat Fighter also increases the good type of cholesterol—HDL, which removes the bad fats from your body and prevents plaque from forming in arteries.
The more research I have done on Fat Fighter the more I find it to be a truly an amazing product. I highly recommend it.

An Apple A Day...
You’ve heard the old adage, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Well, I don’t want you to keep me away, but even so I must share the benefits of apples with you. Apples are another one of those God-made foods that are storehouses of essential nutrients. The World’s Healthiest Foods Web site recently named the apple its “Food of the Week.”
Nutritional Value One medium apple contains 15% of the daily value (DV) for dietary fiber, 13% DV for vitamin C and 9% DV for vitamin K. Apples are also especially rich in phytonutrients (plant nutrients), such as polyphenols. And since one medium apple has only 81 calories, apples are a nutritious low calorie addition to your Healthiest Way of Eating!
Health Benefits Apples contain both insoluble and soluble fiber, which pack a double punch that can help reduce cholesterol levels and your risk of hardening of the arteries, heart attack, and stroke. A recent meta-analysis has found apples to be one of the small number of fruits and vegetables that contributed to the significant reduction in the risk of heart disease. Apples also contain quercitin a powerful phytonutrient antioxidant, which teams up with vitamin C to bolster the body's immune system.
Apples help clean your teeth, lower your cholesterol, detoxify your body, fight against viruses and aid digestion—one large apple satisfies 30% of your daily fiber requirements. Apples prevent constipation and, when grated and added to yogurt, can relieve diarrhea. Susan and I get even more out of apples because we eat the seeds, too.

Are Your Kids Overweight?
Are your kids overweight? Then it’s time to overhaul your family’s lifestyle. A new study shows that by simply changing the foods your kids eat—and not worrying about portion sizes—will help them lose unhealthy fat.
Kids who eat lower-calorie meals won’t snack more later, as long as they are eating about the same amounts they are accustomed to.
… For four days over two weeks, researchers at Pennsylvania State University fed 26 children at a child-care center breakfast, lunch and snack, and gave them take-home dinners and snacks. The same menu was served each week, but one week the kids were given low-fat and low-sugar versions of the foods as well as more vegetables. The changes included 1 percent milk instead of whole, fruit served in juice instead of syrup, and pasta made with low-fat dairy and pureed vegetables.
The researchers wanted to know if the kids would naturally compensate for the reduced-calorie menus by eating extra amounts later in the day or the following day. But they didn’t. Instead, they ate about the same amount they had previously, consuming 400 fewer calories over the two days they were served the lower-calorie foods. “People tend to eat the same weight of food from day to day, and that’s what these kids did,” PennState nutritionist Barbara Rolls told the newspaper.
How else can you help your kids slim down? For starters, turn off the TV, hide the video gaming system on the top shelf of a dark closet and restrict computer time to homework use.
Second, totally eliminate fast food. Now you have given yourself the wonderful opportunity to eat foods made from scratch in your own kitchen. What a blessing! Keep it simple. After all, raw fruits and vegetables are easy to prepare and they are what you need most.
Take a closer look at the foods and beverages you regularly stock in your pantry. Deep-six the soda pop, white flour pastas and crackers, store-bought cookies and sweet treats, chips and additive-rich convenience foods. Donate it all to your neighborhood food pantry and get a new start.

Broccoli: God's Sunscreen
The more I learn about commercial sunscreens, the more I want to warn my patients about the dangers of overusing them. For one, sunshine is good for you. Twenty minutes in the sun on a summer’s day provides you with all the Vitamin D you need. (If you have dark skin or clothes are covering most of your body, you’ll need more time than that.)
For another, concerns have been raised about these chemicals in sunscreens which are either carcinogenic or “hormone” benders: diethanolamine, triethanolamine (DEA, TEA), padimate-o, octyl dimethyl PABA, benzophenone, oxybenzone, homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (octinoxate), salicylates and parabens. Well, here’s some good news. Researchers have found that broccoli sprout extract can ward off UV rays. U.S. researchers find applying an extract of broccoli sprouts may help protect skin against the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.
The study, published in Proceedings of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, says the extract works inside cells by boosting the production of a network of protective enzymes that defend against ultraviolet radiation damage. The effect lasts for several days, even after the extract is no longer present on or in the skin.
Personally, I like wearing my broccoli on the inside. Susan, the kids and I love chomping on it raw so we get all the wonderful nutrients that God created. Meanwhile, even though summer is past, we’re still getting outdoors for fresh air and sunshine! I hope you are, too. It’s good for you!
If you and you’re family aren’t getting all the veggies that your body needs for optimal health, try our It’s Greens. It’s Greens helps to boost your immune system, alkalize your body and tastes great too.
