What’s Beyond the Pump?
Certainly athletes, gym rats and weekend warriors alike are already living a reasonably healthy lifestyle and supplementing with nutritionals and protein powders to build muscle, endurance and get that picture-perfect “pump” – so what’s missing?
The human body, while a magnificent machine, is no different from any other machine – in that the MORE you use it, the greater the need to keep things running smoothly and the faster things are going to wear out! As such, for those that push their body that extra mile, extra care should be to following key areas:
Joint Support
Your joints undergo a vast amount of stress and wear from increased use. Over time, this increased physical stress can result in a gradual breakdown of joint cartilage (the “shock-absorber” that protects and cushions your joints), as well as a potential loss of joint stability – leading to discomfort and limited flexibility and mobility. Until recently, once joint cartilage had become worn, there were few non-surgical options available – but science has now identified the key nutrients needed to help rebuild and revitalize the protective cartilage around your joints to help keep them working smoothly:
• Glucosamine – utilized in both the formation and repair of cartilage.*
• Chondroitin –helps promote the resiliency of cartilage.*
• Essential Fatty Acids – work to combat joint inflammation.*
Cleansing & Detoxification
In its simplest form, Cleansing and Detoxification is the purging of the colon of impacted waste matter and toxins, preservatives, additives and pesticides from the processed foods we eat. Faulty removal of waste allows toxins to seep into the circulatory system from the intestinal tract, discouraging optimum health. Cleansing and Detoxification is a way clear these harmful microbes and toxins from your system to help insure you’re as healthy on the inside as you are on the outside.*
Fiber for a Flatter Abdomen
Fiber is nature’s health secret because it not only helps to clear your intestines of compacted fats, toxins, sugars and other undigested bulk matter that can cause the lower abdomen to bulge, but promotes a “full” feeling to help you eat less, lose weight and enjoy a trimmer, flatter abdomen.*
Super Green Food Antioxidants
With the amount of free radicals that we encounter daily and the stress levels placed upon us, diet is more important today than ever before – and the phytonutrients found in green foods are full of vital antioxidants and plant-based vitamins and minerals. Optimum health involves providing our bodies with the best possible nutrients for maintaining cellular wellness and function, and green food sources (such as chlorella, spirulina, wheat grass, etc.) provide a stable foundation for optimum health.*
