A picture is worth a thousand words. Fortunately, I’ve cut out both sugar and flour since being on Bright Line Eating. I’ve released 46 pounds...this past year.

Blood pressure is classified into five categories. Blood pressure numbers of less than 120/80 mm Hg are considered within the normal range. When readings consis...tently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic, it is classified as elevated. Hypertension stage 1 is when blood pressure ranges from 130-139 systolic or 80-89 mm Hg diastolic. If it goes to 140/90 mm Hg or higher, it is classified as hypertension stage 2. And when your blood pressure readings suddenly exceed 180/120 mm Hg, it becomes a hypertensive crisis.

Betsy's 2020 New Year story could be yours in 2021 ;-) What are your New Year Resolutions? How about a total mind and body reset? Starting the year out right, w...ith a Cleanse. If you are wondering WHY you might want to do this huge gift to yourself read Betsy's story. It's not entirely easy - but so worth it. How much waste do you have to shed? Join Us with a Re-Set Jan 7th. Want to see the people you would be doing the Cleanse with? See the bottom of this post. But first Betsy: Since I promoted the box with the seven packets and recommendations for the Shaklee detox cleanse, I thought I’d better do it myself. Wow! I lost 5 pounds! I wasn’t trying to lose weight and didn’t think I needed to, but the little fluffy belly is gone. 135 is a better weight for a 5’6 woman. Now to keep myself at this new baseline. Was it a smooth ride, detoxing my body on this program? No, it was not. I have not gone a day without Shaklee protein since beginning with the old Energizing Protein back in 1985. Eating soy protein for breakfast made such a difference in my energy level, my mood, my overall metabolism that I didn’t trust any other protein for breakfast. Every morning, no matter what. This was scary to me. There is no protein on the program. Fast Forward: I couldn’t believe my body had that much waste to get rid of! And I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got on the scale. It has been two weeks since the detox and I am still at 135. Oh, how cautiously I put back the oats, rye and millet hot cereal with walnuts and prunes for breakfast. How carefully I sautéed Alaskan cod with a little cornmeal coating. How tentatively I ate a few Christmas cookies at two parties yesterday and several over the weekend. Then I relaxed and ate the way I normally do, avoiding refined flour and sweets, with some exceptions, avoiding processed foods, dairy and salty things. All went well without any weight gain. Since there have been delicious holiday offerings at several gatherings I decided today will be the detox program for 24 hours. I now have a tool for balancing the indulgences of the holidays. Have a wonderful holiday. Eat, drink and be merry. Plan to cleanse your body after it’s all over, the wrapping and tinsel gone, the tree in the yard waste and the body eager for normalizing itself. Cleanse with confidence. Be well, Do well and Keep Moving, Betsy ------- It's all about HABITS. The team would love to see you TOMORROW to hear more about our Group Cleanse.

An inflammation is good when your body is transferring more blood and fluid to an area such as an injury to heal it. Also, it is good when your body is fighting off an illness since the inflammation serves as a means of cell transportation to increase the number of cells to do the fighting. Inflammation is a bad thing when it becomes chronic, meaning your body responds with too much inflammation or for too long. When this occurs, your system will start attacking its healthy cells and organs and there can be many serious consequences, such as chronic pain, increased disease risk, weight gain, reduced immunity, fatigue, reduced nutrient absorption, and many other things.

FAQS What is turmeric? What are curcuminoids? And what is curcumin? Turmeric, curcuminoids, and curcumin are not interchangeable terms. Turmeric is a distinctiv...e yellow spice that's part of the ginger family and has been used for 4,000 years in cooking and medicinal uses. The family of active compounds in turmeric are called curcuminoids. The primary curcuminoid found in turmeric is called curcumin, and this is where turmeric's powerful benefits come from. Curcumin is well-known for its powerful antioxidant properties. What's the difference between turmeric root and turmeric extract? Curcumin is found in the root of the turmeric plant but only comprises a small amount of the turmeric root; an average turmeric root contains less than 5% curcumin, and this amount varies from turmeric root to turmeric root. On the other hand, turmeric extracts are made by extracting curcumin from the turmeric root and are standardized to contain concentrated amounts of curcumin. Turmeric Boost includes 500 mg of turmeric extract standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids. Why is black pepper extract included in the formula? Because curcumin has been found to have relatively low absorption, Turmeric Boost contains 5 mg black pepper extract (Piper nigrum), a key ingredient that enhances curcumin absorption and increases bioavailability. Can Turmeric Boost be taken any time of day? Turmeric Boost can be taken any time of day but should be taken with a meal or shake. Is Turmeric Boost vegan? Yes. Turmeric Boost is great for people that eat a vegan diet. Is Turmeric Boost Kosher? Yes. Turmeric Boost is Star-K Kosher certified. Is there anyone who should NOT take Turmeric Boost? Turmeric Boost is not intended for use by children or by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please consult your physician if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or under the age of 18.
