We all know people who have lost large amounts of weight in quite a short time, they have told us of how great they feel and they looked fantastic, then the next time they are seen they look larger than before they went on the weight loss program.

This sadly is the case in so many instances, it’s due to a few factors but the main one is that the actual product was working in a way that left the persons body dehydrated and lacking in macro and micro nutrients to build muscle fiber, in plain language they have been starved, and in the end their survival instinct has taken over and they have over compensated and eaten the food store.

Its a fact that people who lose weight on many systems end up with saggy skin, weight loss far to quick, they are tired and irritable, their body’s are not getting the correct nutrition, they become bored with the bland taste of many of the products.

I have in my life tried many of these systems and have experienced all of the facts stated, we do it because we see it on the TV and so it must be right, the sad reality is many of these products can result in long term health issues, one of the biggest side effects is dehydration which leads to all sorts of problems.

So what can we use? well what about a product that actually feeds your body, that’s absorbed within thirty minuets that supplies the correct amount of nutrition that your body will use and not have to process and dispose of excess vitamins as with so many products, that uses good fat to build muscle fiber, to ensure a gentle release of protein staving off hunger and give healthy weight loss and giving a good shape with elasticity to the skin.

Do you want a healthy meal plan which is used by hundreds of Olympic sports people and is approved by the Olympic scientific board, by sports stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has help develop a sports drink with the company CR7 Drive.

The fact is this is the only MEAL replacement product that supplies a nutritious filling healthy meal, its a life changing product that works, that comes with one to one support, that encourages life changing steps that dose change peoples lives forever.

We take things for granted mainly because we don’t know the power some things have to give us, if you have heard of Turmeric it’s that orange stuff in the bottle on the spice rack.

Some of us know that in India they have this root thing that makes curry orange, we also see it in the geographical magazines and TV shows when Indian people throw it at each other, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN IT DO?

Turmeric has many healing quality’s, with the fight against cancer this is a key ingredient that gives noticeable results just take your time to check this information.

The TV programmer “Trust Me I’m a doctor” did an experiment with a group of people using Turmeric and the results were amazing and all positive.

I will talk about this and much more as the blogs go on in the weeks to come.

Possibly Effective for:

  • High cholesterol. Research suggests that taking turmeric extract by mouth twice daily for 3 months reduces total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides in overweight people with high cholesterol.
  • Osteoarthritis. Some research shows that taking turmeric extracts, alone or in combination with other herbal ingredients, can reduce pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis. In some research, turmeric worked about as well as ibuprofen for reducing osteoarthritis pain. However, it does not seem to work as well as diclofenac for improving pain and function in people with osteoarthritis.
  • Itching (pruritus). Research suggests that taking turmeric by mouth three times daily for 8 weeks reduces itching in people with long-term kidney disease. Also, early research suggests that taking a specific combination product (C3 Complex, Sami Labs LTD) containing curcumin plus black pepper or long pepper daily for 4 weeks reduces itching severity and improves quality of life in people with chronic itching caused by mustard gas.

 

Possibly Ineffective for:

  • Stomach ulcers. Some research suggests that taking turmeric three times daily for 8 weeks does not improve stomach ulcers. Also, taking powdered turmeric four times daily for 6 weeks seems to be less effective than taking a conventional antacid.

 

Insufficient Evidence for:

  • Alzheimer’s disease. Early research shows that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, daily for 6 months does not benefit people with Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Eye inflammation (anterior uveitis). Early research suggests that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, might improve symptoms of long-term inflammation in the middle layer of the eye.
  • Colorectal cancer. Early research suggests that taking a specific turmeric product containing turmeric extract and Javanese turmeric extract (P54FP, Phytopharm plc., Godmanchester, United Kingdom) might stabilize some measures of colon cancer. There is also early evidence that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, daily for 30 days can reduce the number of precancerous glands in the colon of people at high risk of cancer. 
  • Bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft surgery). Early research suggests that taking curcuminoids, which are chemicals found in turmeric, starting 3 days before surgery and continuing for 5 days after surgery can lower the risk of a heart attack following bypass surgery.
  • Skin wounds related to cancer. Early research suggests that applying a turmeric ointment might help to relieve odor and itching caused by wounds associated with different types of cancer.
  • A type of inflammatory bowel disease called Crohn’s disease. Some evidence suggests that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, daily for one month can reduce bowel movements, diarrhea, and stomach pain in people with Crohn’s disease.
  • Depression. Early research suggests that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, twice daily for 6 weeks is as effective as the antidepressant medication fluoxetine in people with depression.
  • Diabetes. Early research suggests that taking turmeric extract twice daily for 9 months can reduce the number of people with prediabetes who develop diabetes.
  • Stomach upset (dyspepsia). Some research shows that taking turmeric by mouth four times daily for 7 days might help improve an upset stomach.
  • Gum disease (gingivitis). Early research suggests that using a turmeric mouthwash is as effective as a drug-therapy mouthwash for reducing gum disease and bacteria levels in the mouth of people with gingivitis.
  • Stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection. Early research suggests that taking turmeric daily for 4 weeks is less effective than conventional treatment for eliminating certain bacteria (H. pylori) that can cause stomach ulcers.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Early research suggests that taking a turmeric extract (Cynara Turmeric, Lchtwer Pharma) daily for 8 weeks reduces the occurrence of IBS in people with IBS who are otherwise healthy.
  • Joint pain. Research shows that taking a specific combination product (Instaflex Joint Support, Direct Digital, Charlotte, NC) containing turmeric and other ingredients three times daily for 8 weeks reduces the severity of joint pain. But it does not appear to help joint stiffness or improve joint function.
  • Skin rash (Lichen planus). Taking a certain product (Curcumin C3 Complex, Sabinsa Corp) containing chemicals found in turmeric three times daily for 12 days can reduce skin irritation caused by lichen planus.
  • Prostate cancer. Research suggests that taking a formula containing broccoli powder, turmeric powder, pomegranate whole fruit powder, and green tea extract three times daily for 6 months prevents an increase in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in men with prostate cancer. PSA levels are measured to monitor how well prostate cancer treatment is working. However, it’s not yet known if this formula reduces the risk of prostate cancer progression or recurrence.
  • Inflammation in the mouth and/or esophagus from radiation treatment. Early research suggests that swishing a turmeric solution in the mouth six times daily for 6 weeks reduces the risk of inflammation in the mouth and/or esophagus caused by radiation treatment in people with head and neck cancer.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Early research suggests that curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, might reduce some RA symptoms, including morning stiffness, walking time, and joint swelling. Other research shows that taking a turmeric product (BCM-95, Arjuna Natural Extracts, India) twice daily reduces RA symptoms more than conventional medication.
  • Recover from surgery. Early research suggests that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, daily for up to one week after surgery can reduce pain, fatigue, and the need for pain medications.
  • An inflammatory disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Early research suggests that taking turmeric by mouth three times daily for 3 months can reduce blood pressure and improve kidney function in people with kidney inflammation (lupus nephritis) caused by systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • Tuberculosis. Early research suggests that taking a product containing turmeric and Tinospora cordifolia can reduce bacteria levels, improve wound healing, and reduce liver toxicity caused by antituberculosis therapy in people with tuberculosis who are receiving antituberculosis therapy.
  • A type of inflammatory bowel disease called ulcerative colitis. Some early research suggests that taking curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, daily for up to 6 months can reduce symptoms and the recurrence of ulcerative colitis when used in combination with conventional treatments. Other research shows that taking turmeric extract as an enema might help people with this condition.
  • Acne.
  • Jaundice.
  • Hepatitis.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Fibromyalgia.

Welcome back to the Gift of Health Blog. ( I should say that to myself as it’s been me who has been away!)  

I’ts been a while since I blogged, not due to a lack of passion for health and the desire to help people become more healthy and active, that is the bedrock.

No, its because i have been off track in my own head, I was diagnosed April 2015 was Prostate Cancer, it was a high grade advanced cancer and in the first week I had it and twenty four lymph glands removed.

Unfortunately there was a cancer not seen and during surgery it was found and removed but some cells had fallen into my body.

The cells started to grow and I was told that whilst it wasn’t needed right away I would have to have radiotherapy and that due to previous injury’s that have left my organs stuck together it may well lead to incontinence.

I said very little to anyone about this and sunk within myself, then when at the gym one evening I saw my friend David Bevan, (Chairman’s Club Member Herbalife International) whilst chatting he said I should call Jane Clark, his partner and also a friend (Chairman’s Club Member Herbalife International) as she also had cancer of the skin, that some of the doctors in Herbalife had advised various vegetables and fruits that would help the body to become an active alkaline state and that cancer has a difficulty to survive.

I spoke to Jane and she gave me lots of information and tips to start my campaign to become healthy, since that time its been a close communication to fight the disease, I will refer to these as we move forward in the battle.

Today is day 224 of the Super Shakes, I will keep yo posted and continue the battle, we will get back on track in the coming days on health in general but I wanted to explain my absence.

Pleased to be back :

)

The picture above is what you will see a lot off each day when I spin the magic that is the Super Shake, hopefully it will motivate and offer alternatives to people who feel there are none 🙂
