A Healthy Digestive Track and your Immune System!

 
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is affected by your GI’s (think digestive system) health?  Well it is and a healthy digestive system means a strong immune system.  Immune system health is important to fight off illness and disease.  During times of illness anti-biotics often play a role in restoring health.  Unfortunately anti-biotics can kill both good and bad bacteria.

Good Bacteria?  You bet.  Like the kinds found in your digestive system assisting with the complete digestion and absorption of the food you eat.  The good bacteria’s ensure that your digestive system is healthy, which means your immune system is healthy.

How can the good bacteria be increased?

Two ways…..Pre-biotics and Pro-biotics.

Pre-Biotics:  Ferment in the stomach to produce good bacteria.  Great sources are yogurt and believe it or not whey protein.

Pro-Biotics:  Pro-Biotics differ from the Pre-Biotics because they will survive stomach acid and move further down the digestive track.  Pro-Biotics can be found refrigerated at quality health food stores and most chiropractic offices.   Real Pro-Biotics will have 109 (1 billion or 10 billion).  The products do have a shelf life and MUST be refrigerated, check both.

Try using both Pre (Yogurt) and Pro-Biotics (from health food store):

Pre-Biotics + Pro-Biotics = Synbiotics

I blogged about this last week and am going to do it again.  Before I get started I want to share a few things I received by email.  I get these emails almost EVERY DAY from people just like you that are actually making GREAT progress!

Are you trying to lose weight?

Did you set a 2013 resolution?

Start the new year off with a ton of motivation to lose weight?

Fit in a bikini on spring break.

Maybe you were or are fed up of being fed up with how you look and feel.

Sound familiar?

It does to me.  I have seen tons of comments, statements, and questions on Facebook and other social media outlets.

The passion to change is awesome!  So why are so many of you wasting it?

How so?  I have seen a BUNCH of you posting how many calories you cut, meals skipped, calories burned doing cardio, double workouts, hours of cardio.

STOP!!!  These things will NOT work.  Change that if you have cut calories enough and done enough cardio you may squeeze your smaller self into that bikini but guess what…you will NOT have that sculpted, toned, lean look you want.  Plus as a bonus you are likely to gain all that weight back and as a bonus a few extra pounds.

In less than the last three weeks I have heard the following from clients following “Eat by Color” and training at FitWorkz.  Their statements are below click to see them tell you their story in their own words!

• I quit running, am eating more and losing inches, my legs are toning with out running.
• I have lost over 60 lbs and cut my cardio from 6 hours a week to about and hour a week.
• I was a runner for 10 years, and have cut it almost completely to nothing, I am eating more and working with Henry twice a week.  I am down over a dress size.
• Not good enough? How about this one. I fit in a dress I have not worn in 20 years!

Guess what they are NOT doing

Cutting calories, doing hours of cardio or some other short term program that is a LONG term Failure!  Read that again!  And again!  And again!
