What products should I take to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level ?

Res-Q 105 MAX

Res-Q 105 MAX

1. First of all, you should take Res-Q 105MAX. Res-Q 105MAX is our primary product to promote blood sugar metabolism. The proprietary pumpkin pentose complex in Res-Q 105MAX is able to support energy metabolism, thereby helping to maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of a diet plan. Unlike sugar, which requires insulin, pentose can directly enter cells for energy and help maintain a healthy blood sugar metabolism.  (more…)


Omega-3 News: Omega-3 and Mood

Res-Q 1250 is available in capsules or liquid.

Who has low levels of EPA, an omega 3 fatty acid?

A study on 1,390 elderly people, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this month, found that those exhibiting symptoms of depression had low levels of EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid.

Therefore, those suffering from depression may benefit from omega-3 supplements in order to restore levels of omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids are called essential because omega-3 must be obtained from diet.

People suffering from depression are not the only group of people that may need more omega-3 fatty acids. (more…)


Omega-3 is good for a weight loss program

Res-Q 1250 is available in capsules or liquid

Res-Q 1250 is available in capsules or liquid

Some people on low-fat diets, or I should call the diets no-fat diets, have inquired about fat grams in Res-Q 1250, concerned that Res-Q 1250 will make them gain weight. However, omega-3 fatty acids actually do the opposite. 
  
In fact, we need more of the good omega-3 type fats in our diet.  Although we may be consuming more than the daily recommended amount of fat, we need some fat every day in our diet and some of this fat should be omega-3, preferably from fish oil supplements, the best way to ensure omega-3 intake every day.
   
The type of fat consumed is very important to weight loss.  A lack of the essential omega 3 fatty acids can trigger the body into storing fat. 
  
Furthermore, in a randomized controlled trial study, omega-3 fatty acids were given to women following a fixed weight loss regimen and the women in the omega-3 group experienced a decrease in weight and body mass.  (more…)


Complete Heart Health, Part III: Triglycerides

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

 
Healthy Arteries: It is more than just cholesterol - the role of the triglycerides in arterial health.
   

Looking at multiple heart health factors provides more ways to help maintain healthy arteries and a strong heart for a more complete look: the big picture.  The Res-Q product line offers a more complete approach to total cardiovascular health. 
  
The American Heart Association defines triglycerides as, “the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body.”
  
Since triglycerides affect the total cholesterol number, you should know your triglyceride number.

Learn more about triglycerides

Scientific evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of the omega-3 fatty acids.  According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the results for the fish-oil group were “…triglyceride (-64 percent), as compared with the control diet.”
  
Res-Q customers have been able to continue to maintain triglyceride levels within the normal range with Res-Q 1250, our safe and pure omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplement.
  
Res-Q 1250 provides an omega-3 potency level that would be difficult to achieve otherwise.  Our diets may be low in omega-3 fish.  Even if we eat fish, it would be difficult to achieve the effective amounts of omega-3 used in the clinical studies and provided by Res-Q 1250.
  
I always recommend that you buy at least two bottles of Res-Q 1250 the first time you order and order more Res-Q 1250 before you have one bottle left. Taking the correct dosage, and taking it every day consistently is very important to health maintenance.

To place an order for Res-Q 1250 or to learn more, call our toll free number: 1-800-26-ALIVE.

What are healthy blood sugar levels?

Res-Q 105 MAX

Res-Q 105 MAX

When used as part of the diet, Res-Q 105MAX may help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.

   
What are healthy blood sugar numbers?

There are different types of tests for blood sugar.

Fasting Test
If the fasting blood sugar level is 100-125, then you have prediabetes. You may not be diabetic yet, but it is time to do something now before it becomes worse. If the blood sugar is more than 125, then you are diabetic. Some people are diabetic and do not even know it.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
A different type of blood sugar test, is a blood sugar tolerance test which is done, after a fast, and two hours after drinking a sugar beverage. If your blood sugar is 140 or more, but less than 200, then you have prediabetes which means you are not diabetic yet, but you are on the way to becoming diabetic, if you do not take action now to help your health.
  
In summary, what a healthy blood sugar number is will depend on the type of test.

If you do not have diabetes yet, but have been told that you are borderline, now is the time, before it is to late, to ask your doctor what type of lifestyle changes will help save your health.

In addition to any dietary suggestions provided by your doctor, use our all-natural product, Res-Q 105MAX with pumpkin pentose to promote blood sugar metabolism.

When used as part of the diet, Res-Q 105MAX may help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.

Complete Heart Health Part II: HDL and Heart Health

Healthy Arteries: the role of good cholesterol, HDL, in arterial health

 Res-Q HDL+, a unique, natural, No-Flush Niacin, is the best form of niacin. Our customers have had health benefits from just 2 capsules per day, one capsule in the AM, and one capsule in the PM. Some doctors recommend more. 

 The Res-Q product line offers a more complete approach to total cardiovascular health. Looking at multiple factors offers more ways to help maintain healthy arteries. 

Do you know your “good cholesterol” number, called HDL? According to The National Institute of Health, “an HDL level less than 40mg is …a major risk factor…” and “the higher, the better.”

HDL “picks up” cholesterol in the bloodstream and disposes of it. Having more of it or having a higher number is a good thing because the good HDL cholesterol helps promote healthy arteries by trying to keep the LDL cholesterol from “building up in the walls of the arteries.”

Elevated blood sugar can damage the blood vessels

Res-Q 105 MAX

Res-Q 105 MAX

If your blood sugar is currently elevated, you should discuss with your doctor, strategies to lower it.

Res-Q 105MAX, a natural extract of pumpkin, can help maintain a healthy blood sugar level when used as part of the diet. Res-Q 105 is a natural dietary supplement that promotes blood sugar metabolism. If you are not sure what your blood sugar level is, it may be a good time to check it.

Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level is important to maintaining healthy blood vessels. If you are trying to maintain a healthy blood sugar level, along with diet, taking Res-Q Resveratrol, our red wine extract, in addition to Res-Q 105MAX would be a good idea. Research shows that resveratrol, an active ingredient in red grape skins and red wine, helps maintain healthy blood vessels by minimizing the amount of damage to the blood vessels from high blood sugar.

The most recent research on resveratrol also indicates that resveratrol functions to support insulin function, and in a recent human study, helped support blood sugar function.
  
Res-Q 105MAX, when used as part of the diet plan, helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level.
 
Res-Q Resveratrol, should be used in addition to, not in replace of, Res-Q 105MAX, our main primary product to support blood sugar metabolism.
  
Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level, helps maintain healthy blood vessels.

Omega-3 news: omega 3 helps the heart

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Omega-3 is good for our heart health. Scientific research studies show over and over again that taking omega-3 can help us live longer.

Recent news confirms that omega-3 is good for the heartbeat. The recent report linked omega-3 fatty acid intake with changes in the heart rate in older adults.

Scientists want to learn more about how omega-3 affects the heart.

Recent research was conducted to see if “habitual consumption of omega-3 fatty acids would be associated with more favorable heart rate variability”, a factor that “…predicts cardiac death and reflects specific electrophysiological pathways and influences.”

Omega-3 fatty acid intake was linked to “…“more optimal” values of various HRV indicies” helping us to see how omega-3’s are good for the heart.

Learn about our omega-3 supplement, Res-Q 1250.

Res-Q Resveratrol: Live Longer

Res-Q Resveratrol: Live Longer

Resveratrol was discussed on ABC’s Barbara Walter’s special on anti-aging. Clinical studies show that resveratrol, a natural component of red grape skins, helps regulate the aging process, by a gene called SIRT1 also found in humans.
 
Have we now found some solutions on how to live longer and stay healthier longer?

The TV show implied that resveratrol may encourage being healthier and living longer. Mice given resveratrol, “lived 30% longer”, did not get ill, and despite being on a high fat diet, lived like a healthy mouse, and did not get heart disease.

Omega-3 News: Omega-3 and Memory

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Res-Q 1250 Capsules and Liquid Lemon Res-Q 1250 helps combat mild memory loss
associated with aging

In a recent study, the omega-3 fatty acid DHA increased production of a protein that promotes brain health.

The latest information on omega-3 shows us what omega-3 does in the brain. DHA encourages the production of a protein called LR11 that promotes a healthy brain. LR11 helps maintain a healthy brain by reducing the “amyloid precursor protein”, a harmful protein involved in beta-amyloid plaque formation.

This study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA, plays a role in the brain to help maintain a healthy brain and even may help fight off the mild memory loss associated with aging that is common to all of us as we grow older.

Help combat mild memory loss associated with aging with Res-Q 1250, our highly potent, highly purified, safe and effective omega-3 supplement, rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Purchase Res-Q 1250 or call 1-800-26-ALIVE for more information.
