My personal belief is that due to the state of health in America, most individuals that are overweight are there because of other circumstances, not just over eating!
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 such a 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. YiPee!! We all say , "Amen to that!".
You might say, aren't we supposed to have collagen in our body already!
Yes, but are we using it is the question.
First, let`s talk about how it works!
You must start with good ole Vitamin C.
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 get under stress, we deplete it.
If we don't get enough fresh fruits and veggies we don't get it in our diet.
So there is the number one reason I believe most are over weight,
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
Adrenal function - needed for stress hormones
Healthy gums
Aids the immune system
It is a natural chelator to remove heavy metals
Helps lower bad cholesterol & of course 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, what does it do, and how can it help you loose weight!
Collagen is your most plentiful protein! Yeah!!!
Collagen is a major structural protein forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and 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 it 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 supplementing with 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 supplementing; 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 changes that occur with aging
It aids in restful sleep
Makes skin look youthful
Loses inches
Repairs joints
Give personal testimony of Lexie and self!
