Research has shown that after 27 years of age, the body’s production of enzymes begins to slow and the cycle of aging begins. As enzymes enable the body to create the necessary reactions for health, adequate levels in the body contribute to an energetic lifestyle.

At birth, you start with enzyme reserves, that decrease throughout your life, because of enzyme deficient diet. As we become enzyme deficient, we age more quickly. The more we replenish our enzyme reserves, the healthier we’ll be.

When we cook food at temperatures above 118 degrees F.,we destroy and deactivate naturally occurring enzymes – they no longer work.

The saying ‘You are what you eat’ is only partly correct. The truth is, you are
what you digest. We cannot expect to remain healthy if our digestive system isn’t
functioning properly. Enzymes are essential to a healthy digestive process and a
healthy body is built with the help of enzymes that transform undigested food
into nourishment.

Generation Plus Digesticol Convert Food Into Its Most Usable Form and Promote a Healthy Digestive System: Proper digestion and elimination of what we consume are fundamental mechanisms for health. Consuming cooked, processed, nutrient depleted foods, and inadequate chewing our food will negatively affect these life-sustaining processes, leading to a variety of potential disorders. Digesticol may bridge the gap. Digesticol promotes a healthy digestive system by supporting proper elimination of toxins and waste. This can lead you to a higher quality of life. Generation Plus Zymitol Formulated with enzymes to enable the proper functioning of the body’s natural inflammatory response. This natural response works to fight disease and heal injuries. If not working properly, the resulting conditions can cause excessiveswelling, fluid retention, arthritis & other joint pain diseases.

The active ingredient in NCD is natural clinoptilolite / zeolite, sold in .5 oz bottles containing 300 drops, a one month maintenance dose.

Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals with an unique, complex crystalline structure. It’s honeycomb framework of cavities and channels (like cages) works at the cellular level trapping, heavy metals and toxins. In fact, because it is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing them from the body.

When the ecology of the human gastrointestinal tract becomes disrupted, beneficial microorganisms can no longer flourish in numbers necessary for proper balance.  Toxin producing bacteria and fungi begin to take over, changing the ecology of your whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Medical researchers have revealed that the #1 health complaint received by doctors worldwide is poor digestion, malabsorption and constipation, or its opposite irritation and diarrhea quickly followed by complaints of tiredness, lack of energy, slow recovery, etc.

The use of laxatives to relieve constipation can be avoided by holistic supplementation of vital intestinal flora when there is evidence of imbalance such as gas and bloating. This condition is the result in part because of poor choice and combining of foods, and poor digestion of them usually due to lack of enzymatic activity. Here, we go full circle back to the need to balance enzymes with critical bowel flora for healthy digestion. The progressive results of imbalance causes energy to be radically reduced compromising the immune system. Chronic indigestion, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, muscle pain, candidiasis, arthritis, colon cancer and poor immune response are becoming more common, all resulting from imbalances in digestive processes and consumption of processed foods.

We offer effective solutions: Floracol by Generation Plus and StrataFlora by Exsula. 

Life Enthusiast offers many alternative health solutions to a vast range of health concerns.

Later she switched to the simpler e3 Supreme, because the Digesticol felt too strong. I enjoy it, but I am 30 years older, and that may be the biggest reason.

For even greater effectiveness to deal with unwanted body fat we have Lipalone. As the name suggests, it deals with metabolism of fats. Especially in the festive season this product will come very handy.

To melt away some unwanted fat deposits, Lipalone needs to be used in sufficient quantity to:

• Promote Weight Reduction & Eliminate Toxins
• Normalize Body Fat Deposits
• Reduce Fat Storage
• Balance Cholesterol Levels
• Eliminate Toxins & Waste

Enzymes: how do they work?

We begin life with enzyme reserves that decrease with aging and from an enzyme deficient diet. As we become enzyme deficient, we age more quickly. The more we feed our enzyme reserves, the healthier we’ll become.

A nursing mother provides her baby with all the enzymes it needs to digest her milk. Have you ever noticed that the stool of a breast-fed baby is almost odorless until it starts eating cooked, processed food.

Cooked food (especially meats) don’t digest properly, and travels undigested into the small intestine. As we cook foods at temperatures above 118 degrees F., enzymes are destroyed and digestion is hampered, beginning the cycle of toxemia begins. Toxemia results from undigested food putrefying in the bowel tract and that poisons the blood, the root of all disease.

It’s estimated that 80% of diseases are caused by improperly digested foods and their by-products being absorbed into the body (“Survival into the 21st Century” by Viktoras Kulvinskas).

The saying ‘You are what you eat’ is only partly correct. The truth is, you are what you digest. We cannot expect good health if our digestive system isn’t functioning properly. Enzymes are essential to healthy digestion and perform specific tasks such as:

* Digest food
* Break down toxins
* Cleanse the blood
* Strengthen the immune system
* Build protein into muscle
* Contract muscles
* Eliminate carbon dioxide from the lungs, and
* Reduce stress on the pancreas and other vital organs.

Enzymes are the workers in your body — they carry out every chemical reaction. To have a healthy body we require both workers (enzymes) and building materials. The building materials are proteins (amino acids), minerals, and vitamins. These are necessary to build a healthy body. Trying to function without all the necessary enzymes is the reason for most body malfunctions.  Alternative Health Supplements are available at Life Enthusiast.

Water, oxygen, minerals, fatty acids, vitamins, enzymes – each of these are important, and cannot be ignored. To approach our well-being in a holistic way we must understand that no single aspect can be ignored or dismissed and that a proper balance of each vital ingredient is necessary.

Digestive health is vital to assimilation of nutrients, and that is solely predicated on the body’s ability to produce enzymes appropriate to our environment and diet.

Enzymes are essential activators of chemical reactions that continually take place and act as catalysts, joining with coenzymes (vitamins and minerals).

We’re all familiar with vitamins and minerals but may not know that they’re not activated, until they are processed by enzymes.

Enzymes supplement digestion and proper assimilation of nutrients assisting your body’s natural inner healing powers restoring health and vitality.  For the longest time I thought that I should not use them – make my body dependent on them. That was not smart. The more enzymes I get in my food, the more health I experience. It is a direct correlation.

Providing your body with the proper naturopathic supplements can improve your overall health.

The result is Sterile Gut. You and your children do not need more chlorinated spray to “Kill All Germs”, instead you need to let them “Eat Some Dirt”. The best example of how this plays out is when you show up in Mexico or some other less sterile terrain. The locals are coping just fine, but you are suffering from the Montezuma’s Revenge.

Other than not eating enough soil based organisms, intestinal health is most commonly undermined by:

1. Antibiotic usage
2. Excessive Sugar Consumption
3. Stress
4. Drinking Chlorinated Water
5. Long term diet of Acid Foods

When the ecology of the human gastrointestinal tract becomes disrupted, beneficial microorganisms can no longer flourish in numbers necessary for proper balance. Harmful toxin producing bacteria and fungi begin to take over, changing the ecology of the gastrointestinal tract.

Medical researchers have recently revealed that the #1 health complaint received by doctors worldwide is poor digestion, malabsorption and constipation, quickly followed by complaints of tiredness, lack of energy, slow recovery, etc.

Do not use laxatives to relieve constipation. When intestinal flora is out of balance, problems can quickly evolve beyond gas and bloating. Energy is radically reduced and the immune system is radically compromised. Along with the cases of chronic indigestion, the cases of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain, candidiasis, arthritis, colon cancer and poor immune response are becoming more common.

We offer effective solutions to repopulate your digestive system. They include fulvic and humic acids as well as the intestinal flora: Floracol by Generation Plus that can be greatly aided and amplified by adding Xtrapure Lecithin by Exsula, because it can help smooth out the rough moments you could experience. And remember to add plenty of fiber – raw fruit and vegetables are a great start.

So whose fault is it? I blame the industrial production methods that have been gradually taking over our food processing industry. It starts with government subsidized large scale farming of cereal plants – wheat, corn and soy – on overly fertilized but under mineralized soils. The top prize goes to the packaged foods that are so rich in addictive flavors and stimulants, that you stand no chance to resist. Once you become addicted, it is nearly impossible to break free.

The biggest trap of all is the “convenience food” and “fast food”. It is now cheaper to eat at a fast food restaurant than to make a wholesome meal at home. Probably because of the scale of production, the industrial producers can make a “meal” for less than you could. Today food is less expensive than it ever was, but unfortunately you are getting exactly what you are paying for. Not much in the way of REAL nutrition.

Genetically we are designed to operate in a world that existed about 10,000 years ago. We are programmed to seek out sweet (ripe fruit or berries), salty (minerals), and fat (lots of energy). In the pre-industrial age these flavors were not easily found, and enjoying them was only natural. But now you are not foraging for food in a forest, you are in a strip mall. And you are not hiking 10 miles to get there, you are sitting in a vehicle, that is probably even air-conditioned. Food producers may be not aware of this consciously, but they are selling you food that is addictive, and that is bad for you in almost every sense of the word.

Consuming conventional commercially-grown food that is pesticide-sprayed, herbicide treated, artificially-fertilized, chemically preserved, colored and sweetened has its consequences. Estimated 47 million Americans are now suffering with Syndrome X.

Recently the movie Food, Inc. was broadcast on CBC. You can catch it online on their website for free. Although, I think we should all buy multiple copies to share with loved ones.

P.S. I also enjoyed Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution – did you watch any of it? What did you think?

I found the show – I watched two hours of it tonight – oddly fascinating. I knew that things were not all that good “out there”, but I had no idea they were this bad. The thing that shook me most was the segment where Jamie Oliver asked a classroom full of six year old kids to name some vegetables. Not one of the kids recognized a potato, never mind something as exotic as a broccoli. Yet, they readily recognized pizza and french fries. This tells me that the kids do not see food preparation in their homes, and that is frightening to me. Why?

The gigantic divide between the raw foodies that are our typical customers, and the “mainstream” America that is microwaving frozen pizza boxes bought at a supermarket on sale for $0.50 each. Here we are feeling proud about offering high grade superfood blends that cost mere $2.00 per serving. What a disconnect!

I think many people have gotten the idea that saving on food is a smart thing. But when you buy cheap food, are you not cheating yourself in the most cruel way? Would you buy half-price weak and deficient lubricant for your car and brag about the great deal you got? Would you not expect it to wreck your engine?

I hear this during some of the coaching phone calls I do: your [chlorella] is more expensive than the one I can get at [my discount store]. My response is: “Have you tasted the difference?” Anyway, I hope you are getting the message: if you cheat yourself by purchasing inferior quality food, you will get inferior results, which means illness, and early death from the degenerative conditions that are undeniably on the rise.

I noticed that food these days is much cheaper than it used to be. Especially prepared food is cheaper than it ever was. The problem with it is that it is worth exactly what you are asked to pay for it: not much! Fields have become exhausted and the food grown upon them has only 30% of the mineral content it had 80 years ago.

I really felt sorry for the family they interviewed on the show: they ate such a large amount of fried processed food – no raw food in their entire week’s supply. No wonder they were all oversize, with visible skin problems and life expectancy cut by decades.

Anyway – am I preaching to the choir? I would so love to have our Exsula Superfoods promoted on the program. We would have the sick, tired, overweight, malnourished people in great shape in less than a month.

You might be surprised to know that the brain is easily most malnourished organ in the entire human body. The brain uses a great deal of the body’s available resources (20%) despite making up a small part of the body’s total weight (2%). Every neuron in the brain has a huge appetite for energy and resources and there are over 10 billion neurons in the body. One of the great things about algae is its ability to metabolize nitrogen gas directly from the oxygen gas all around us. Using this process algae biosynthesize a great deal of Low Molecular Weight Peptide Groups, which are the precursors of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are involved in a good many of the body’s processes which affect its metabolic functions.

If you’re interested in Algae supplementation, you should check out our Health Education page where there is plenty of info on algae. People I’ve spoken with who have started using our algae products have reported a great deal of benefits. They claim to have improved mental focus and concentration, along with an increase of energy and confidence. They find their immune systems kick in quicker and more powerfully, while mood swings are stabilized and digestion is regular and efficient.

Imagine being complimented for the healthy glow of your skin, hair and nails! It can happen when you use algae. In fact, the nutrients in E3Live make this possible. This fantastic product stimulates the growth of your hair and nails while providing energy and all-natural antioxidants that give your skin a much younger, supple look.

The fact that your body can digest algae easily wouldn’t mean anything if algae wasn’t extremely beneficial to your body and its processes. Algae supplementation can help your body delay or reverse any signs of premature aging, repair cellular damage as well as eliminating destructive toxins. It can help keep your diet on track by promoting a healthy appetite and also allows increased oxygen flow in your body, improving your mental focus and concentrative powers.

Algae supplementation, along with removing toxins, also strengthens the immune system giving you the power to fight over disease more thoroughly. It promotes the growth of strong body tissues including finger and toe nails, hair and skin. Algae have also been know to regulate blood sugar levels, promote intestinal health, digestion and create healthy intestinal flora. It allows your body to get the nutrients it needs from the foods you eat.

There is a fantastic book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in algae called “Primordial Food” by Christian Drapeau. You can read a sample of it on our website. Be sure to read more and algae and our algae products here as well.
