Weight loss for seniors

Older adults need optimal nutrition to help compensate for the decreased function of their bodies and their increased susceptibility to disease. As we age, our body no longer digests, assimilates, or metabolizes food as well as it used to. The need for all essential nutrients is greatly increased. Older people need fewer calories, because they have less muscle and a slower metabolism.

Their need for protein stays the same, and their need for vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids (EFA) increases.
No wonder we all want to find a way to reverse aging.

OLDER ADULTS HAVE LOW LEVELS OF NUTRIENTS BECAUSE:

They have a decreased ability to digest, absorb, and metabolize nutrients.
Half the population over the age of 60 do not make enough stomach acid to digest their food adequately.
The average 60 year old has half the amount of enzymes they had at the age of 30.
Antacids decrease the absorption of iron, folic acid, Vitamins A and B12.
Their medications deplete nutrients. For example, some diuretic medications used in the treatment of hypertension increase urinary excretion of magnesium.
Magnesium plays an essential roll in the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses.
If your magnesium is low you might be noticing irritability, nervousness, mental lapses, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and chronic fatigue.
Alcohol inhibits the absorption of protein, calcium, and vitamins A, B complex, C, D, and E.
Long term use of aspirin can lead to iron deficiency, anemia, and reduced red blood cells.
Tannin and other compounds in coffee and tea can reduce mineral absorption, especially iron by 90%.

BENEFITS OF STABILIZED OXYGEN AND WEIGHT LOSS:

Most people are aware that food grown extensively with chemical fertilizers depletes food of essential minerals, nutrients and enzymes needed for energy required to build healthy cells. Molecular oxygen plays a critical role in the proper functioning of the immune system and is the correct source of life to all cells.

Aerobic bacteria (the good guys) must have oxygen to survive. They change the minerals in food from a solid state to a usable ionic state of assimilation. In addition, a high percentage of food ingested putrefies prior to digestion and nutrient absorption, because the putrefying bacterium in the digestive tract is never favorable for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria simultaneously.

Stabilized Oxygen is a high concentrate of oxygen - oxygen in molecular form.

In the use of drops placed in a glass of water, and consumed, it actually puts oxygen in your blood without the process of deep breathing. Oxy Boost Plus - The Spark Of Life . Besides breathing we get oxygen from food. Clean, healthy bodies utilize foods more efficiently and effectively than bodies full of waste.
Overweight people are usually oxygen starved. They need more oxygen to burn calories more efficiently. In the case of obesity, the primary cause of excess waste is inadequate oxidation of food, leaving it to be stored in lipid form for use later.
A higher oxygen level allows the body to oxidize its fuel more effectively, including fuel that was stored away as lipids (fat).
Many highly oxygenated individuals report that the need to eat is greatly diminished since the food consumed is so thoroughly utilized.
More efficient oxidation provides greater energy nourishment, eliminating inaccurate hunger signals and allowing the body's weight to normalize.
Food cravings have many origins, and one is the body trying to get more oxygen to the cells.

OXIDATION IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO: BURN FUEL (FOOD), PRODUCE HEAT, ELIMINATE WASTE

HOW METABOLIC ENYZYMES AFFECT REVERSING AGING AND WEIGHT LOSS

To maintain good health and maintain proper body function, some amount of supplemental vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and enzymes are essential. As we age, our bodies lose their ability to absorb and use nutrients. Our bodies make less COQ10 and SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), making health supplementation important to maintain wellness.

COQ10

Every cell contains COQ10.
The human body will not function without COQ10.
COQ10 is found mainly in:
- Raw green vegetables
- Raw nuts and seeds
- Cold water fish
- Sprouted whole grains
COQ10 is necessary for cell "ignition".
COQ10 supplies the mitochondria - the igniting "spark" and nutrients - that permit energy production. Without these "sparks" or igniting inputs, there is no respiration, and no life.
COQ10 may accelerate weight loss in some individuals.
Avoid all dietary sources of refined sugar and hydrogenated oils. They both oxidize or use up the COQ10 and SOD found in the body.

The deficiency of COQ10 has been associated with obesity. Recent studies have indicated that this micronutrient may be more vital to metabolic processes than previously thought. By supplying the body with adequate levels of COQ10, researchers have found that fat metabolism and enhanced cellular control of fat stores will result. Studies show that COQ10 is linked to thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and that it helps to regulate and boost thermogenic activity. Reach for Co Enzyme Q10 it will give you the defense you need.

SOD:

SOD Superoxide Dismutase

Superoxide dismutase is the name given to a class of enzymes that make up an important antioxidant system in the body. They neutralize harmful free radicals, particularly the superoxide radical.
SOD, like COQ10, is in every cell of the body. It is the fifth most abundant enzyme in the body.
When harmful free radicals are left unchecked, they attach to supporting tissue collagen. This process makes our tissues stiff, and skin wrinkled. It also causes deposits to form on the arterial walls.
It appears that natural SOD will relieve morning stiffness, pain, and swollen joints in about 85% of arthritic patients.
SOD should be a benefit, if sufficient amounts are taken, to replace cellular production deficiencies due to age or stress.
The therapeutic possibilities are mind boggling, for we may have in our grasp, a system of enzymes that allows us to slow down aging.
SOD may help to prevent and reverse a long list of degenerative diseases.

Did you know that Barley Grass Tincture is high in superoxide dismutase (SOD)?
