Maintain Optimal Health And Wellness



                              Five reasons Mito-Omega fish oil can help you survive the New Year the New You!



Mito-Omega

Mito-Omega fish oil can help minimize the damage from consuming sugar, alcohol and refined carbohydrates (the three biggest “anti-health” foods in my opinion). Here are my top five reasons it can help keep you healthy and energized this holiday season.

Decreases Inflammation
Sugar, alcohol, refined carbohydrates and Trans fats…they all contribute to inflammation in the body. If they are in any way a part of your diet you may be at risk for chronic inflammation. Stress, both physical and emotional, is also a contributor to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation has many detrimental effects on your health and is at the root of many diseases. EPA and DHA fatty acids are two very potent anti-inflammatories that are found in high amounts in Mito-Omega fish oil.

Assists with Weight Loss
Fish oil has been shown to help with weight loss by reducing insulin levels. Increased insulin levels can discourage your body from burning stored fat as fuel and can actually encourage your body to store fat. Things that cause a spike in insulin levels include sugar, alcohol and refined carbohydrates. If you are going to consume any of these during the holidays, take a teaspoon of Mito-Omega fish oil at the same time to reduce the effect on your insulin levels.  

Improves Immunity
Sugar and alcohol are taxing on your immune system. Consuming fish oil daily is a great way to increase immune health. The essential fatty acids in fish oil are responsible for maintaining healthy tissue cells found in the gastrointestinal tract.  

Maintains Optimal Energy Levels
With the short days, little sunlight, and increase in social commitments, it’s easy to feel tired this time of year. The essential fatty acids found in fish oil can help keep your energy levels high as they are necessary for your body to produce metabolic energy. 

Improves Mood
Omega-3 deficiency has been linked to depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. This is attributed to the fact that fats are the key building blocks of cell membranes and are essential for proper brain function.  Omega-3 fatty acids help form cell membranes and keep those membranes flexible. They also help regulate the flow of hormones and other chemical messengers, which affect our mood.

Best Snacks Between Your Meals



Hi everyone, it’s important to eat snacks between your main meals to keep your metabolism always working. We would like to share this awesome snack that’s easy and best of all tastes great!  All we did was use regular 0% fat Greek yogurt and add some blueberries and raspberries to it then paired it with a chopped green apple! Add 100% natural peanut butter for dipping or you can always use almond butter since it’s a bit healthier. We personally like Greek yogurt a lot better than regular yogurt as well, because we find it better tasting and prefer its thicker texture. Its higher protein content is also a bonus and you can even add a bit of it to your protein powder shakes as well to make it taste like a milk shake. If you are wondering which whey protein to add, I suggest EON Therapeutics MyoEnhancer. It tastes great and it’s made with 100%Organic Whey Protein therefore the body doesn’t have to process any harmful synthetic additives.  EON Therapeutics MyoEnhancer also provides Glutamine, MCTs, a Microflora Blend and BCAAs as well so it’s a 5 in 1 post work out dream!
