Weight Loss in America Today
The state of health in America leads me to firmly believe that overeating is just one reason that so many people are overweight!
I know that goes against what you normally hear, but it has been my experience.
Today we are going to talk about a safe, healthy method of weight loss that I am seeing get incredible results.
Our chemist has researched this for two years and I didn’t believe it worked until I tried it for myself!
What would you think about something that burns fat and builds lean muscle while you sleep? Well, if you’re like me you’d say, “Grow a Brain cell”.
I didn’t believe it for a second, then I tried it!
I am now a firm believer! I’m on the COLLAGEN band wagon!!!
That’s right, I said collagen!
Not only does it promote weight loss, it makes your skin look younger as well. Yippee!! We all say, “Amen to that!”
You might say, “Aren’t we supposed to have collagen in our body already?” The answer is “Yes,” but the next question is, “Are we using it?”
First let‘s talk about how collagen works!
You must start with good ole Vitamin C.
If we don’t get enough fresh fruits and veggies we don’t get Vitamin C in our diet.
We know Vitamin C is water soluble so if we take too much at one time and can’t absorb it all, we literally flush it!
If we are over-stressed, our bodies deplete Vitamin C.
So here is the number one reason I believe most are overweight--it is because of poor nutrition, not overeating!
Just a quick refresher on Vitamin C–
It is an anti-oxidant.
It is required for 300 metabolic functions.
Needed for tissue growth & repair.
Needed for proper adrenal function and stress hormones.
Promotes healthy gums.
Stimulates the immune system.
It is a natural chelator which removes heavy metals.
Helps maintain proper “good” and “bad” cholesterol levels.
And does much, much more!
And today’s topic – weight loss
Vitamin C is essential in the formation of collagen! Our chemist specifically likes the Vitamin C w/ Rose Hips. It is critical for collagen stability.
Now what is collagen and what does it do and how can it help you loose weight?
Collagen is your most plentiful protein! Yeah!!!
About ¼ of all the protein in your body is collagen! Collagen is a major structural protein that forms molecular cables that strengthen the tendons. Collagen also forms vast resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs.
Even your bones and teeth are made by adding mineral crystals to collagen. Collagen provides structure to our bodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connecting them with the skeleton.
Think of collagen as the Glue holding us together!!!
When we don’t have sufficient amounts of vitamin C activating the collagen the results are disastrous!
We then start experiencing symptoms of daily wear and tear and injury!
Now the good news! What happens when we are getting sufficient amounts of vitamin C and collagen?
The collagen stimulates the body to utilize HGH. Something we are hearing about quite often these days.
The jury is still out on HGH supplementation; however, we should be utilizing the HGH already in our bodies. Collagen does just that.
Here’s what happens –
It rebuilds lean muscle and reduces the amount of fat tissue.
Reverses or slows changes that occur with aging.
It promotes restful sleep.
Makes skin look youthful.
Promotes the loss of inches.
Maintains healthy joints.
