DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON

In the oopps my bad news of the day. The FDA is warning peeps to stop taking all of the 14 Hydroxycut products on the market. To date the FDA has received 23 reports of serious liver injuries linked to the Hydroxycut products. The most serious case was the death of a 19 year old man in 2007. Although the FDA says that instances of liver damage are rare all of the people who reported an illness were taking the recommended doses. Symptoms of liver damage include brown urine (eheww), nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, itching and light colored stools.

Here are the list of products the FDA in voluntarily recalling: Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets, Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets, Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets, Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets, Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets, Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets, Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix), Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets, Hydroxycut Liquid Shots, Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink), Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed, Hydroxycut 24, Hydroxycut Carb Control and Hydroxycut Natural.

It’s always best to ask your doctor and not trust a gimmicky commercial with those amazing weight loss pictures.

TO YOUR HEALTH

Sometimes the big ol chain stores miss the mark when it comes to quality and service. You have sales associates who are just there to collect a pay check and couldn’t care less what they sell you. Or they see you as a walking dollar sign and would sell you the moon and stars just so they can hit their sales plan.

When it comes to taking supplements I bypass the chains and rely on a local family run business, Bloomfield Health, for all my health needs. The sales people are very knowledgeable and will give you a supplement package based on your health need. They offer total body cleansing programs, herbal teas,vitamins, sport supplements, herbs,homeopathic remedies, veggie sandwhiches, and a whole lot more









If you are ever in North Jersey stop by 425 Broad Street in Bloomfield or give them a call at 973-743-0030 (ask for Sam if he is there and tell them Cameesha referred ya).

Have a good weekend peeps!!!

DEFENSE...BOOM.... BOOM.......DEFENSE!!!

Okay so with all this talk about the swine flu I think it's important to discuss ways to naturally boost your immune system and metabolism too. Because I train I take a lot of supplements to keep going. Sometimes I feel like the neighborhood pharmacy with all the pills I take, but I must say that I am very healthy. In fact, when my girlfriend and I went to the DR in February we both caught a nasty bug when we came back home. It took me two days to recover...unfortunately for my girlfriend it took her two weeks to shake her fever.

Besides boosting your immunity vitamins help your skin's complexion and makes your hair healthy and strong. Here are a few natural supplements I take to get me going.

Vitamin C
You should take anywhere between 600 - 1200 mg a day but do not exceed 2000 mg. Because I am training I take the maximum 2000 mg, but when I am not I do not exceed 1000 mg. Again don't overdue it. A great source of vitamin C is strawberries. Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges... yes..it's true at 97 mg to be exact . Next down the line are papaya cubes at 87 mg and then oranges at 83 mg.

Chromium Picolinate

This is a supplement that a lot of people sleep on. Basically CR works by improving the efficiency of insulin and helps cells take in glucose and release energy. In a nutshell if you maintain a healthy diet (no processed foods) and exercise CR will aid in metabolizing fatty acids. If you look on the internet somepeople will swear by this while others say that it has no effect. Well I'm saying that I use it and it is apart of my daily regime and it works for me...so hey....why not!! Natural food sources include whole grains, orange juice, turkey, red wine, bananas, and broccoli.

Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed Oil is one of your greatest allies to maintain a healthy system. Flaxseed oil contains a substance called ALA (alpha linolenic acid), EPA, and DHA. These substances are derived from omega 3's. Omega 3's help reduce inflammation, prevent chronic diseases, and arthritis. It's recommended that adults take 1 -2 tablespoons or you can do what I do and take it in pill form.

And remember people please use common sense and wash your hands..ehewww!! No Apologies
