How Calcium Aids In Losing Weight

We all know we want calcium in our diets (ladies--at least 1,000-1,200 mg per day) but did you know that the latest study findings suggest that it also promotes weight loss?

A recent study found that women who paired 1,800 mg of calcium daily with a moderate protein diet (15% of calories from protein) absorbed 2.5 times less fat that those who did not. For some, this delivered a three-pound loss per week. The reason: With this nutrient combo, calcium binds to more fat in the intestines, forming insoluble compounds that are easily excreted.

If you are not taking a calcium supplement yet check out our Life Time Calcium Citrate with vitamin D. Life Time Brand Calcium Citrate is the most absorbable calcium on the market. Calcium is also important for the prevention of osteoporosis. If you are a soda/pop drinker calcium is important because the phosphoric acid in the soda depletes the bones of calcium so a supplement is very important!

Top 6 Causes of Belly Fat - And How To Stop It

Top 6 Causes of Belly Fat: (some might surprise you)

• Stress > work, finances, family, weight
• Hormones > imbalance or over-production
• Muscle Tone > lack of abdominal muscle exercise
• Actual Fat > overall fat cell content of body
• Water > retaining water in body
• Genetics > genes inherited from parents

According to government researchers, the link between stress, tension, and excess belly fat is clear. High levels of cortisol – a hormone produced during stress – can cause pound after pound of excess body fat to accumulate around your waist and belly… a health-threatening, figure-destroying condition affecting an estimated 47 million Americans… mostly women.

Stress is being shown to play a significant role in a wide variety of conditions and disease states. Recent work from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other major research centers has demonstrated that stress is a significant contributor to immune dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, other age-related disorders, and to excessive body fat. Over 20% of adults have an obesity-like condition characterized by excessive abdominal fat. This condition is related to stress-induced hormone imbalances, especially imbalances of cortisol and DHEA. Until now, the only course of action for losing this fat has been stress reduction with exercise and diet. Relora™ can normalize cortisol and DHEA levels in stressed individuals, induce relaxation, and act as an aid in controlling weight and stress related eating and drinking.

In a recent clinical trial of women who took Relora™ three times a day for two weeks, 90% reported that the herbal blend made them feel less anxious, 87% enjoyed more restful sleep and 81% were cured of stress related eating!

Scientists credit the blend's magnolia extracts, honokiol and magnolol, and compounds of the cork tree called protoberberine alkaloids. This proprietary formula stabilizes cortisol to exert a relaxing effect on the nervous system, explains study author James LaValle, R.Ph., of the University of Cincinnati. And that sets off a biochemical chain of events that remedies weight problems and increases immunity to an array of stress related health concerns.

So in a nutshell, Relora™ stabilizes levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
That results in the levels of serotonin and dopamine (neurotransmitters that boost mood) being optimized. Also, levels of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, return to normal. Improved sleep rebalances gastric hormones so that the ratio of leptin (which signals satiety) is once again higher than ghrelin (which signals the body to eat more).
