Everything You Wanted To Know About Energy… But Were Too Tired To Ask. Barbara Lagoni Jo Coogan Steve Chaney , PhD Emily’s Story – BS Biology MS Education • Eating well.. Bought organic fresh produce, etc • Read labels, avoided toxins and questionable ingredients. • Appeared to be the model of health … EXCEPT NO ENERGY SICK A LOT .. Viruses, etc What Causes Fatigue and Energy Loss Low or fluctuating blood sugar Nutritional deficiency Lack of exercise.. Resulting in lack of oxygen Carrying extra pounds Insufficient sleep Stress Toxic exposure Depression and mental overload Illness The Role Of Mitochondria • Mitochondria are the energy packs of every cell… • Their job is to utilize oxygen and nutrients from food and convert them to energy. • When we don’t exercise, we don’t take in adequate levels of oxygen .. And the mitochondria suffer and decline. • Vivix improves energy levels because it increases the number of younger and more active mitochondria. Foods that Zap Energy Sugar Refined carbohydrates Wheat .. Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis Grain Brain by Dr Perlmutter Alcohol Conditions that Zap Energy Carrying extra weight Stress What Do People Do To Get More Energy? • Sugar • Coke, coffee – caffeine • Energy Drinks --Red Bull, Monster, Rock Star, Full Throttle, Four Loco, etc Scientists See Dangers in Energy Drinks By JANE E. BRODY Published: January 31, 2011, New York Times “For an athlete engaged in intense exercise, the high doses of sugar in energy drinks can impair absorption of fluids and result in dehydration. A 16-ounce can of an energy drink may contain 13 teaspoons of sugar and the amount of caffeine found in 4 or more colas.” Troy D. Tuttle, an exercise physiologist at the Houston university, Energy – the Natural Way Begins by Eating the Foods Nature Provides Fresh vegetables and fruits Nuts Berries Beans and legumes Pure water Some poultry and meat Energy – the Natural Way B Complex Vitalizer Shaklee 180… Energizing Soy Protein CorEnergy Energy Tea Energy Chews Vivix Performance Hydration Drink B Complex -- The Happy Vitamins The Energy Vitamins Essential for brain and nervous system Helps burn fat into energy Lost with sugar, refined carbohydrates ( salty snacks, breads and pastries, starchy foods), caffeine, alcohol, stress and medications. Fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, anxiety and depression—all can be signs of a B vitamin deficiency. That's because compounds in the B complex are needed for everything from the healthy maintenance of brain cells to the metabolism of carbohydrates, the brain's source of fuel. Bs are also necessary for production of neurotransmitters, which regulate mood and conduct messages through the brain. Psychology Today Aug 13, 2007 The subgroup of B6, B12 and folate is the subject of much research. Sufficient intake lowers rates of birth defects, cardiovascular disease, depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. B6 and B12 contribute to the myelin sheath around nerve cells, which speeds signals through the brain. B12 and folic acid together are needed for making normal cells, including blood cells. Inadequate B12 or folic acid can yield blood cells unable to carry vital oxygen to the brain. These three Bs aid in the manufacture of the excitatory neurotransmitter GABA, as well as serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that regulate mood. Choline is one that shows promise. Found in protein-rich food such as eggs, it is needed by everyone for the production of cell membranes and for making the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which affects memory. Pregnant women must also consume choline to support the rapid production of fetal brain cells. Pregnancy may prove to be the most decisive period for many nutrients. Animal studies by Duke University neuroscientist Christina Williams, Ph.D., have shown that a diet with four times the normal amount of choline during pregnancy can actually prevent memory decline in offspring as they reach old age. Supplemented animals also have superior memory throughout their own lives.

Other sugars enter the blood stream quickly, giving one a feeling of "pep" — but, just as rapidly, one sags. This "pep and sag" cycle occurs most pronouncedly when one consumes foods containing sucrose (refined sugar) such as candy or high fructose soda pop.” Blood Sugar and Healthy Eating by George Vigil, June 1, 2009 in Nutrition Vita Lea-- Vitalizer • 80 nutrients • Backed by 12 clinical trials proving it contributes to longer, healthier lives • Most advanced multisupplement pack • 12 patents for its remarkable delivery system for optimal absorption People ALWAYS report more energy with Vitalizer VIVIX --Revolutionary Tonic that Slows the Aging Process at the Cellular Level • • • • Activates longevity genes Repairs damaged cells Repairs DNA Regenerates mitochondria – where energy is produced within every cell 10X more effective than resveratrol alone in slowing key mechanism of cellular aging.
