Fat loss….Try CLA

 

TROUBLE LOSING WEIGHT? SUPPLEMENT WITH CLA!

Conjugated linoleic acid or CLA is a supplement used to promote fat loss & the growth of lean muscle tissue. It is highly effective in assisting weight loss & changing body composition. The action of CLA is that it prevents lipogenesis or the storage of fat in adipose tissue after a meal.

CLA is an essential fatty acid found in beef, ground turkey, lamb, cheese and milk. To get the optimal amount of CLA needed you would have to consume huge amount of these foods, adding too many calories which is counteractive for weight loss. Supplementing with CLA is an excellent alternative, with the added benefit of acting as an antioxidant and immune system enhancer.

Additional benefits of CLA:

· Cancer: studies show as little as 0.5% of CLA in the diet reduces tumors by 50%

· Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

· Lowers blood pressure

· Lowers cholesterol & triglycerides

· Reduced risk of osteoporosis

· Reduces inflammation

· Body composition (lowers body fat & increases lean body mass, especially in those who exercise regularly)

My Blue Print Nutrition Tip of the day- Foods you thought were good for you….NOT! Part 3

Now that you know that PROTEIN BARS are just a waste lets take a look at the last 3 food myths!

Diet Pop. Science suggests too much of these zero-cal beverages could do as much damage as the sugary stuff, potentially leading to weight gain and an uncontrollable sweet tooth. Artificial sweeteners found in diet pop signal the brain to crave sweets and confuse hormones related to appetite, leading to weight gain.

Juice Diets. Many of us could use a few more fruits and veggies in our diet, but we don’t need to juice them. Juice diets may leave out important nutrients and enough calories to stay strong throughout the day. Not to mention eating, not drinking your fruit and veggies is much more theromogenic, meaning your body has to work harder and burn more calories just to break down the food.

Light Beer. Light-beer or diet beer doesn’t necessarily mean less calories. Instead, many simply have a lower alcohol content. Not to mention beer, even diet, is extremely estrogenic and can lead to increased estrogen, lower testosterone and increased weight gain.

My Blue Print Nutrition Tip of the day- The Benefits of Vitamin C

image

VITAMIN C (ascorbic acid) is a water–soluble essential nutrient we must obtain from our diet. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, disarming free radicals & preventing damage in the environment both inside & outside the cells. Consuming a diet rich in Vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer, helps protect against free radical damage, regenerate Vitamin E supplies, & improve iron absorption.

A diet deficient in this powerful vitamin can result in cardiovascular disease, joint diseases, cataracts, dry eyes, hair loss, anemia, bleeding gums, bone fragility & delayed wound healing.

Contrary to popular belief, the best sources of Vitamin C are not just citrus fruits.

The top 10 best sources of Vitamin C:

Bell peppers

Parsley

Broccoli

Strawberries

Cauliflower

Lemons

Romaine lettuce

Brussels sprouts

Papaya

Kale

My Blue Print Nutrition Tip of the day- How can Bees help you?

Bee Pollen is considered one of nature’s most perfect foods as it contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins (nearly 40%), free amino acids, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12; vitamins A, C & E, carotenoids, folic acid and rutin; minerals, including magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, silica, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine & manganese. Bee Pollen also contains a full range of amino acids & is a more concentrated form of protein than any other food (more than any animal source). As if that weren’t enough, Bee Pollen also contains digestive enzymes, fatty acids & a full range of phytonutrients! All that contained in tiny little golden orbs.

· Energy enhancer: the full range of nutrients make it a great energy enhancer that can keep you going all day

· Skin soother: the amino acids and vitamins protect the skin & aid in the regeneration of cells

· Respiratory Function: the high quantity of antioxidants have an anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues of the lungs

· Digestive System: contains enzymes that aid in digestion

· Immune System booster: pollen is good for the intestinal flora and thereby supports the immune system

My Blue Print Nutrition tip of the day….Heart issues???? Try this!

CoQ10_Aging

 

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinol 10, was discovered in the 1950’s as a naturally-occurring compound produced by the human body that is responsible for basic cell function and disease prevention.

In addition to maintaining basic cell function, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, which is responsible for fighting free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical disease and premature aging by destroying living cells.

As the body ages, natural CoQ10 levels decrease by as much as seventy percent. Supplementation of this natural enzyme is recommended for patients with heart-related conditions such as:

Congestive Heart Failure, arrhythmia, heart attack, angina, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, mitral valve prolapse, coronary heart disease.

The antioxidant power of CoQ10 also makes it an excellent natural anti-aging solution. Free radicals are destroyed, energy and vitality is increased and cells are brought back to a stable, healthy condition that might have been lost during mid-life.

SST Burlington – Pro Circuit May Adult of the Month: Jen Beck

I started my workouts in my basement with DVDs for about 6 months, but I felt I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. I was looking around at different gyms to join, when I saw the ad for Butts and Guts on a billboard. I didn’t think SST was going to be the gym for me because I thought it was specific to professional athletes only.
I still went in to check it and found that Butts and Guts was exactly what I wanted. After my first 2 months and seeing results and feeling very encouraged by the trainers at SST.
Now that I have become an annual member, John has made a specific training program for me with nutrition. I have become more driven and dedicated to my work outs, my work and life in general.
Joining SST has been the best decision for myself and well-being, SST is for everyone in all stages of fitness not just for athletes. The trainers and staff are fantastic, encouraging and dedicated to their gym and clients.
Which has helped me become dedicated to their programs, my fitness and overall my well-being.
Unlike all the other gyms SST is capable of creating a program for each and every individual, I would recommend and do, SST to all my friends and colleges.
