Look in the Heart Mironova!

Before the month is over…heart health month is not just February…not just a Leap Year thing…it’s everyday!! Think MironovaEGT+!

  • Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body. When this imbalance occurs, free radicals are released that alter DNA, proteins, and cholesterol and can trigger harmful reactions that affect cardiovascular health.
  • Oxidative stress is turns LDL cholesterol into its damaging form — oxidized LDL cholesterol. Over time, cumulative damage from oxidative stress of LDL cholesterol can contribute to heart and blood vessel disorders, including atherosclerosis, heart failure, heart attack, and stroke.
  • Nearly 74 million adults (31.7%) in the U.S. have high LDL-cholesterol, or “bad” cholesterol.
  • Ergothioneine is a super antioxidant that can protect against oxidative stress, and the body has a transport system specifically designed to deliver ergothioneine to areas of the body where stress is high and damage can occur.
  • For more than a century, scientists have known about the heart health benefits of ergothioneine but no one has been able to unlock the full potential of the  super antioxidant until now.
  • The human body does not produce ergothioneine and it can be difficult to obtain in your everyday diet.
  • Using breakthrough science, a daily nutritional supplement that contains the highest concentration of ergothioneine available today has been developed to help protect the heart from the damaging effects of oxidative stress.

Pathwaves to Life!

The human brain is extremely complex. It can be difficult to ever fully understand how it operates and functions. Pathwaves located in Miami, Florida has discovered, what they like to call, “Neural Empowerment Process.” It IS in fact possible to re-parent the cells in one’s brain which can ultimately lead to living a happier and healthier life.

The Neural Empowerment Process has proven to be successful in various issues including stress, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, brain injury recovery, eating disorder, drug and/or alcohol abuse, and more.

Geoff Cole, the creator of Neural Empowerment Process, is extremely passionate about what he does and is passionate about helping people. The primary purpose in creating this is simply to help people live happier and more fulfilling lives regardless of what they have gone through, what they are struggling with and whatever their circumstances may be.

Geoff Cole, Founder, Pathwaves

According to Geoff Cole and the Pathwaves team, it is crucial to self-train our autonomic nervous systems as well as other neurological systems rather than allow genetics, our environment and our beliefs to be responsible for the development and functionality of these systems.

True control of neurological responses and giving our brain the opportunity to function at the highest possible capacity will ultimately lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. As humans, we not only deserve to live a happy, fulfilled life but we owe it to ourselves to do whatever we can to experience this because we only have one life to live.

Tru Protein

Many weekend warriors and everyday fitness enthusiasts want to make good choices when it comes to supplementation – but the world of sports nutrition can be intimidating.  trusource™, a new fitness nutrition brand is aiming to make protein supplementation more simple, accessible and unintimidating for “real” people.

We got our hands on the Trusource product line and are pleased to share our thoughts. First, the packaging is definitely different from your typical sports nutrition brands – powders are much more manageable than the standard giant tubs, and RTD bottles have good shelf-appeal. The labeling is simple and clear – and directs users to the Trusource website.  There, I found a convenient protein calculator to help me determine how much protein I should get per day. Here’s how my recommended intake was calculated: .5g of protein x 175lbs = 87.5g of protein per-day.

Hitting that number is pretty easy with the great-tasting selection of Trusource products.  There’s light and refreshing Protein Water.  There’s tasty Anytime Protein & Protein +Energy (my fav!) and then there’s Protein Java, which is a great idea!  It’s a ready-to-drink iced coffee beverage packed with 16 grams of protein and caffeine, with only 100 calories and four grams of sugar.

The Trusource website also provides easy-to-make recipes featuring their protein products. Your diet won’t be boring with these shakes, desserts and protein-packed pancakes. Before or after your workout, a go-to-source is Trusource: http://mytrusource.com/

Happy HEAT Running New Year!

HEAT Running, personal trainer and co-founder Joseph Phillips Tips for 2016!

sD0DXRHi_400x400

1) Don’t max out on your 1st day. Assuming that you have had a long lapse or its your first time in the gym, lifting the most weight possible isn’t a good idea right out of the gate. Lay a foundation and build up first. Stay consistent and there will be plenty of time to test your limits.

2) Don’t refuse the help of a personal trainer. Most gyms offer a complementary session you can schedule on your first day working out. Do it! Yes, he/she wants to sell you sessions but most trainers also genuinely want your help! Plus a few PT sessions can put you on the right track toward your goals.

3) Don’t copy the routine of the guy who looks the way you want to look. We are all created differently. The guy with the V-shape and the six pack may not know a whole lot about exercise. He could be doing dangerous exercises or things that may not fit in with your current fitness level. We are all different and need to find a routine that fits our genetics and goals.

4) Don’t hit on the hottest girl you see. Yes, you are gonna see some beautiful women working out! That is one of the perks of being a gym member, but if you approach the hot chick on the first day you may have missed the behemoth she came in with. While you are flirting, Adonis walks up behind you and in no time you are either nursing a fat lip or you will be forever known as “that guy.” Wait a few days to make sure she isn’t coming to the gym with her man.

5) Don’t let a trainer push you to the puking point. If you decide to do a training session remember you are in control. A very small percentage of fitness professionals will try to push you too much. Know your body and your first day limits. Once again, if you go too hard and can’t make it to the restroom, you will be “that guy” who puked by the pull-up machine.
