Everybody seems to be concerned with aging. At least that is what advertisers would have you believe with all their ads for younger looking skin. What concerns me the most isn’t aging skin but an aging brain.

There are many things that cause the brain to age prematurely. First there are the toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis such as heavy metals, chemicals, and certain foods that we eat. If the toxins cannot be eliminated from our body they will build up not only in our bodies but in our brains. The resulting plaque buildup can cause memory loss, dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease.

Another factor that can cause the brain to age is lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain. This can happen either by plaque buildup or a lack of blood flow due to an immune response to something like gluten. Not getting enough cardio vascular exercise can also affect the brain with less blood flow.

The brain is comprised mostly of fat and if the Brain does not get the proper fats, such as fish oil and a diet high in mono-saturated fat it will not have enough resources to keep healthy. Countless studies in the last few decades have shown the importance of Omega 3 (fish oils) in our daily diet.

So what can we do to help prevent or slow the aging process of the brain? How can we enjoy all of our years with all of our marbles? First we can make sure to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. We can eat foods that are rich in Omega 3’s such as fish, grass fed beef, eggs and chicken. It is also important to supplement your diet with Omega 3’s, like Omega Co3 and Brain E DHA by Apex Energetics or Complete Omega 3 Essentials by Nutri-West. Nutri-West also has a children’s chewable Omega 3, Complete Children’s EPA-DHA because you are never too young to start protecting your brain. We personally use Livewave Glutathione Patches to help pull out the neurotoxins from the brain. Supporting those neuropathways can be helpful as well, as with the product Neuro-PTX by Apex Energetics.

Last but not least let’s not forget our other member of the family our beloved dogs. Dogs also need to keep their brains healthy! One good way to do that is with Omega 3’s as well. Try Pet Naturals, Daily Catch Liquid or Daily Catch Treats.

I love fresh beginnings! We are entering a new year, a new decade and a perfect time for goal setting. A recent survey showed the number one New Year’s Resolution is “eat better” or “lose weight”. With that in mind I wanted to touch on a few things in this month’s blog. As well as letting you know we have some great products to curb those cravings!

There are three key components to weight loss; caloric intake, physical activity and toxicity.

1. The best way to monitor caloric intake is to start your morning by not skipping breakfast. Eat a sensible breakfast, balance protein, carbohydrates and fats. Choose fats that are mono-saturated, like olive oil and avocados. Eat smaller portions but more often. I recommend five small meals a day.
2. Increase your physical activity to 30 minutes a day. Even a brisk walk does the trick!
3. Drink plenty of water throughout the day this helps flush the cells and release toxins. Also eating or taking anti-oxidants like Glutathione is helpful.

NeuroScience has a great new product Daxitrol, which is a blend of amino acids. It is very helpful with food cravings as well as suppressing appetite. It is completely natural and contains no stimulating products like ephedra.

Lifewave also has a new SP6 patch which controls craving and suppresses appetite by activating specific acupuncture meridians. Also from Lifewave are their Glutathione patches that naturally increase blood glutathione therefore removing toxicity from the body.

Blood sugar control is often a problem with weight loss and Apex Energetics has two products that we have found helpful, Proglyco-SP and Adaptocrine.

This can be the year that you make your goals a reality especially now that we have some wonderful products to help you along. We at Ovitaminpro are here to partner with you in your health success!

It’s that time again. The Holiday Season is upon us. This time of year is always a challenge for us to eat healthy and get our exercise routine in. With Christmas parties and family obligations we usually gain weight and turn to the medicine cabinet for Tums, Nexium or other pharmaceuticals.

Here at Ovitaminpro we have some good news that will help you through these dietary challenges. Digestion is the key word here. What can you take to get you through some of the not so good eating choices?

There are three products I would highly recommend. All three are from Apex Energetics.

Super Digest-Zyme is not only good for a daily digestive enzyme but works extremely well for those of us who may overeat at social functions. It helps the body extract the minerals it needs and aids in the breakdown of most food types. It especially supports digestion for high starch and high sugar meals, so typical during this festive season.

Glutenflam is a one of a kind gluten digestive aid. It is a powerful gluten digestive enzyme that aids in the digestion of gluten and its inflammatory response to the body. I usually suggest one tablet before bed on an empty stomach, just in case you accidently ingested gluten you did not know about ; for example eating out in a restaurant. Otherwise I recommend one to two with each meal if you plan on eating gluten during the Holidays.

HCL- ProZyme is another great choice with high levels of Betaine HCL it is perfect for a daily digestive enzyme. We recommend HCL-ProZyme for those showing a decreased ability to digest proteins. This usually comes with age and can often be seen in blood work. It is one of our best sellers.

Be prepared with some digestive support through this Holiday season. Don’t let an upset stomach or heart burn dampen your Holiday spirits.

This wonderful season reminds us to give thanks for the good things in life. We here at Ovitaminpro give thanks for all our wonderful customers. It is our passion and reason for being to partner with our customers in their pursuit of better health.

Here’s to good health throughout the coming year!
