Product Spotlight: Paraway Plus


Have you heard of Paraway Plus?  It's an amazing little capsule full of power.  I've decided to try a different Unicty Product each month, or at least close to each month.  This month I tried Paraway Plus.

It's a 30 day product, you start with 2 capsules a day, then go to 5 per day.  Well, I didn't see any physical results while taking 2 a day, but obviously something was going on, once I hit the 5 a day WOW.  One morning I woke up and looked in the mirror, and thought to myself "I think I shrunk last night" seriously, I have lost inches, it's incredible.  My daughter said to me, "mom, you look smaller" ...well that of course made my day!

So you're probably wondering what Paraway Plus is, well, it's a product for Colon Health.  It is a Blood Cleanser/Purifier, Helps Pain, Stomach, Parasites, Pinworms, Pyorrhea.

Ok...NO! I do not have worms.

But....many people take this product quarterly just to keep healthy and to feel better, and I can tell you, that after trying it, I will be taking it again!


Here's the SCIENCE behind the product:

Paraway Plus is a unique and comprehensive product designed to help your body eliminate unwanted organisms.* It contains a proprietary blend of the finest herbal ingredients recognized for their cleansing properties. Paraway Plus provides the benefits of Black Walnut hull, Pumpkin seed, Clove bud, Sage leaf, Garlic bulb, Gentian root, Knotweed, Male Fern root, Hyssop leaf, Fenugreek seed, Chamomile flower, Black Pepper fruit, Peppermint leaf, Thyme leaf, Fennel seed, Diatomaceous Earth and Chlorophyll.

What is a parasite?
• A parasite is any organism that lives in, with, or off another organism.
• Humans can play "host" to over 100 kinds of parasites.
• Parasites can be transmitted by contact...in air and in water.
• Parasites can infect virtually every part of the human body.
• The World Health Organization estimates that one quarter of the world's population suffers from chronic intestinal parasite infections.
Classic symptoms of parasite infections include: allergies, anemia, bloating, chronic fatigue, constipation, depressed immune function, diarrhea, eczema, enlarged lymph glands, excessive hunger, fever, flu symptoms, gas, grinding the teeth at night, hives, irritable bowel syndrome, irritability, jaundice, joint and muscle aches or pains, nervousness, rashes, reddened eyes, sleep disturbances, weight gain, and weight loss. Humans frequently pick up parasites from their dogs and cats. If you make the effort to cleanse your own system, but fail to simultaneously address that of your dog or cat, you are setting yourself up for possible re-infestation. It is always a prudent idea to put your pets on a parasite cleanse along with you.

To stay free of parasites, you will have to take this product periodically. Taking Paraway Plus and colon-cleansing supplements such as LiFiber® and Nature's Tea® twice a year is a good plan.*


Research Brief
Infestations of negative internal organisms are on the increase because of changes in our lifestyles that have occurred over the last few decades. International travel is now commonplace. If you are not a traveler, the world and its parasites will come to you, brought by imported produce and travelers from countries where sanitation is sub-standard. Eating out in restaurants frequently and the close contact of day care centers contribute to the spread of negative internal organisms. These organisms actually get their nutrition directly from the cells of the body. They can literally attach themselves anywhere and suck nutrition out of the cells. Some of these invaders are significantly more dangerous because they can travel to places in the body where they can do a lot more damage than an organism living exclusively in the digestive tract. As if it wasn't bad enough to have an uninvited guest living in your body, the creatures eat your nutrients before you do! They get the best nutrients, and you get the scraps and leftovers. They grow healthy and fat, yet your organs and skin starve for nutrition. What's more, they can remain in your body for 10, 20 or even 30 years. To illustrate the longevity of negative internal organisms in the human body, consider this example. In 1979, a British study reported on 600 former prisoners from World War II. These men had been stationed in the Far East. Thirty years after the war, 15% were still infected with an organism called Strongyloides that they had contracted during the war. This means you could have eaten meat 10 years ago that was contaminated and still be hosting the tapeworms or other negative internal organisms that were in that meat.

FAQs
Q: How often should I use this product?
A: It is recommended to use the Paraway Plus at least two times each year. It may be used more if you travel extensively or if you feel that you may have been exposed to negative internal organisms.

Q: Can I use this on my pets, or should I get something from their vet?
A: While Paraway Plus is safe to use in domestic animals, it is always suggested to consult with your Veterinarian before giving your pet anything.

These 3 products are influencing the World and Making People Rich!
 
Photo

That's right, you heard me....I'm looking for 2 great people to grab the last #1 spots in my Unicity Business.

...I'll take more, but the first two people get to reap the benefits forever, they get to reap the benefits of every single person under them.

Like me......

I have over 100 people under me on my first leg, we only have 3 legs in Unicity.  What did I do to get over 100 ppl?  Nothing really.  All you have to do is concentrate on getting at least one person, that that person gets one or two and it just takes off!

NOW....I'm up for a $5000 bonus, yes, $5K, along with $300 per month guaranteed for 1 year, how sweet is that?  For pretty much doing nothing.

Well, I had to pay to get into the Unicity Franchise, but I've made my money back many times over in the past year, and on top of that, I've gotten healthier.  For only $2.30 per day I have lower my cholesterol, lost inches and lost weight.

$2.30 a day?  That's like NOTHING, literally nothing.  Skip a pack of gum, skip a soda or a candy bar, how hard is that?

Unicity has taken a great leap in 2013, the company has been in business for 20yrs, BUT in 2013, in the 3 months so far this year, Unicity has had a higher sales rate than EVER before.  In March alone sales have increase by 50% and in the past year there has been a 100% growth.

So....why wait?  Why let someone else snag your future, EMAIL ME....!!!!!!

Great Low Carb Dessert Cook Book

FAT TO SKINNY Sugar Free Bakery book



Quite a few years ago our family was vacationing in Florida, we ended up at the Florida State Fair, which by the way was pretty awesome!  We live in MN, and our State Fair is gigantic, so we thought the Florida State Fair to be rather small....but what it lacked in size it made up for in adventure!

While there we stumbled upon Doug Varrieur, we talked to him a bit, my husband was very interested in his cook book, Fat to Skinny, but, now, you have to know my husband.....he simply cannot buy anything without making sure he can't buy it elsewhere for less.  So....after talking to Doug for quite a bit we left, on our way out of the fair, my hubby decided to go back and buy the book.  BUT...he came back empty handed.   We got back to our camper, and were pretty bummed, we couldn't find the Cook Book any where, so we ended up ordering it.  

Once we go the book we dove right in.  Doug recommends 20 carbs a day.  That is NOT easy.

We no longer eat only 20 carbs a day, but his cook book remains a staple in my kitchen, when Doug published his Sugar Free Bakery Book I bought that as well.  Great tasting recipes.

The two cook books go hand in hand, and I really enjoy the Sugar Free Bakery book, it's not always easy to find great dessert recipes, and Doug has a no frills approach which is really rather refreshing.

I now use my Sugar Free Bakery Book and my Fat to Skinny book along with my Unicity products to live a healthy lifestyle.  It's really quite amazing how different you feel when living a healthy life style.

Some of the recipes you'll find in the Sugar Free Bakery Book are:
Cinnamon Coffee Cake Swirls
Pumpkin Caramel Cake
Blueberry Whip Cream Pie
Chocolate Cake Frosting
Garlic Biscuits

...if you're a dessert junkie or have one living in your household this is a great recipe book to have on hand, some of the ingredients are a bit difficult to find, but, Doug was thinking of that too when writing this book.  There are online links available for purchasing many of the recommended products in the cookbook!

YUM

...and another great thing about this cookbook is the online reader support and there are helpful tips and tricks in the cook book as well as nutrition facts listed on each recipe.

Coke vs. Natural Energy

I know an 18 year old who has kicked his Coca-Cola habit, today I started thinking about my own habit, and wondered why I can't kick the habit too.  I mean really, if an 18 yr old can do it, I should be able to do it also!

I get migraines, I don't like to take migraine medication, so I keep Coke in my fridge, the caffeine usually takes of the edge.

Today, I woke up knowing I was heading for a migraine, my first instinct was to grab for that Ice cold Coke, but I didn't.  Instead, I reached for a packet of Matcha. (More about Matcha in a bit).

Here's what I noticed:  Within minutes of drinking the Matcha, I felt the same as if I had drank a Coke, my energy was boosted and my headache started to go away.

This got me thinking, so I started researching Coke, you may already know some of these facts, but I'm going to tell you about them anyway, for the sake of comparison!




Americans ingest 1.7 million tons -- or 10.8 pounds per person -- of sugar each year from Coca-Cola alone

Coke:
39 grams of sugar in one can.
The average American drinks 399 servings of Coke products per year (not necessarily Coke itself) and 63% of those products are actually Classic Coke.  This equals 125.7 servings per person.  So, at 39 grams of sugar per Coke the average American is consuming 4.9 kilograms of sugar per year, which is equivalent to 10.8 lbs.  That's GROSS.....and we wonder why Americans are clinically obese?

(these facts were found HERE)

So, what happens if you drink a Coke every day?
-An 8 year study of 90,000 women showed that after 4 years you will gain 10 lbs
-You will have a 40% higher chance of getting Diabetes 2
-After 4 yrs you will have a 25% higher chance of developing high blood sugar
-After 4 yrs you will have a 32% higher chance of lowering your good cholesterol
-If you drink 2+ sugary beverages per day you will have a 40% higher risk of a Heart Attack

(this info. and more can be found HERE)

Anything good about Coke?
Well, caffeine stimulates the brain and can help improve performance.  It tastes good, especially on a hot day, or with pizza and burgers.  It has a nice fizzy sound when you open it......

After reading these facts, and more, I wondered why I ever started drinking it in the first place.  I've heard all of these facts before, but somehow, when I researched them myself it hit home.

Now....on to Matcha, I had to get the Coke information out of the way first!


 

Matcha:
If you're a reader of this blog you may have read about Matcha in a different post HERE.

But, here are some facts for the sake of comparison
-Unicity Bios Life Matcha is a high-end green tea containing 20 times more antioxidants than the açai berry.
-Does not contain artificial caffeine or other stimulants

According to Thomas Cutler, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer of Unicity, “Bios Life Matcha is a unique product that delivers health and vitality while having a minimal impact on blood glucose levels. It also tastes great. It becomes the perfect companion to Bios Life Slim in your product portfolio.”

What happens if you drink Matcha every day?
You will have increased energy plus the added value of antioxidants
You will NOT have the common crash that so often happens after drinking caffeine

Matcha is indeed very green, and some people say it tastes like 'hay'!  It is definitely something you need to get used to, but it really does not taste bad.  It is extremely good mixed with very cold water and ice!

The before mentioned 18 yr old loves it, as do my 18 and 16 yr old kids, that should speak for itself.

The info. on Matcha was taken from Unicity's website, and you can access more information HERE

...and HERE's the link to a previous post explaining more on Unicity's Matcha


I'd love to hear any more Coke, or soda stories you may have!

**If you're interested in a sample let me know and I'll send you one! **

The Secret of Longevity

The Secret to Longevity

shutterstock_91983788
Before jumping to a conclusion ponder your answer first – if you could live ten years longer by eating 30% fewer calories every day for the rest of your life, would you do it? Would those 600 calories lost every day be a worthwhile sacrifice for those extra years? For most of us, the answer to this question is a resounding yes.

But what if it were only to extend your life by five years? Two years? What would be your answer then?
Likely, you’ll consider all you could lose by closely monitoring your caloric intake from here on out—all those slices of cheesecake and midnight snack runs you’ll miss.

And even if cheesecake and other food-related vices should not, in the big picture, keep you from doing all you can to extend your life, the reality is that it likely will. If cheesecake is your thing, that is. Who knows? Maybe your thing is Chinese takeout, peanut butter ice cream, or Nutella crepes. Maybe you’re a gourmand and the idea of limiting your caloric intake for the rest of your life is in itself a kind of death.

Because this is what we really talk about when we talk about health and wellness: what are you willing to do to ensure a better quality of life for yourself? To ensure a life with lower risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. A life uninhibited by preventable illnesses.

Calorie-Restricted Diets: The Secret to Longevity?
There are many medical professionals, and average citizens included, who believe calorie-restriction paves the path to longevity. However, these individuals choose to consciously limit their calories without scientific research to ensure results; there are no guarantees that lower-calorie diets promote longevity.

This absence of sufficient proof is not for lack of trying: a recent Nature study monitored two groups of rhesus monkeys for 25 years to find the merits, or lack thereof, of a calorie-restricted diet and found no link between calorie-restriction and extended lifespan.

One group of monkeys was fed a strict diet of 30% fewer calories than they were used to eating, while the other group remained on the previous diet. Those concerned about the well-being of the “starved” monkeys should take consolation in the words of head-researcher Dr. Rafael de Cabo, who noted the group did not appear famished or starved during mealtimes, but consumed their meal at the same rate as the well-fed monkeys.

The conclusion of this study was disappointing for many, as the researchers could not prove calorie-restricted diets resulted in increased longevity.

Good Health = Longevity
However, the study did not come away completely empty-handed: researchers found lower rates of cancer and lower blood lipid levels, a factor related to cardiovascular health, in many monkeys from the calorie-restricted group. This suggests, in the words of biogerontologist Steven. N. Austad whose commentary accompanied the study in Nature, “health and longevity are not the same thing.”

Many call these results into question, citing a 2009 study from the University of Wisconsin also aimed at studying calorie-restriction in rhesus monkeys. This study, in contrast, did ascertain increased longevity in monkeys who ate less than their counterparts.

Of course, the studies had a variety of differences which are likely responsible for this variance in results. For instance, the diets fed to the Wisconsin monkeys were higher in sugar and the control group was offered unlimited food at mealtimes.

Is it Worth the Effort?
Although the longevity claims of calorie-restricted diets have been somewhat refuted by the Nature study, the other benefits of lower caloric intake seem compelling enough in and of themselves.
The observed rates of cancer and triglyceride levels in the calorie-restricted monkeys are of particular importance to Americans, as cancer and cardiovascular disease are the two prime killers of adults in the United States.

Which takes us back to the original question: what are you willing to do and how much are you willing to change to ensure lifelong health?

The Get Slim Now Transformation is a health program that focuses on the big picture. We know real health, weight loss, and physical fitness do not come quickly or easily. However, we also know these are attainable goals that, with the help of your Success Coach and science-backed products, remain thoroughly within your grasp.
