Revisit Change Your Diet. Change Your Life. Series: Chapter 6 – The Formula is not just for Losing Weight!

 How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?  Do you feel healthy, vibrant and full of energy? Are you ready to be the best that you can be?  If you focus, practice and put your mind to it, say the words “I can and I will” then you can help yourself and be in charge of your own success.  A key to success is YOU have to be READY!  A step in this direction would be to treat your body right and follow a balanced approach to food. Remember when you help yourself you can help others!

‘The Formula’ is a personalized balanced nutrition program that provides a preventive approach for a lifetime. The Formula teaches you how your body actually works, and the health benefits of nutrition. If we don’t eat properly we can have a negative response over our hormones, mood swings and weight over time. With balanced nutrition you can prevent your risk of disease without taking drugs. There is a lot of research taking place that states elevated insulin levels are being linked to diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes, and obesity.  When your insulin levels are elevated, this is primarily caused by an unbalanced diet. Think of insulin as a fat storing hormone and glucagon as a fat burning hormone. Eat a meal that controls the release of insulin and elevates glucagon. Do that and you win! The Formula gives you the power to take control of insulin levels with the food you eat and provides the solution to living a healthy lifestyle and feeling the best you can feel.

Twelve benefits the FORMULA could have on your life or a person that you love:

Improved Brain Function

Your brain requires a steady supply of glucose.  When blood sugar levels are out of balance, concentration suffers and overall brain function is decreased. The Formula can help keep blood sugar balanced. Start your day with a good breakfast.  A balanced nutrition bar or a balanced protein shake like Arbonne is a great way to start your day with stable blood sugar levels that improves overall concentration and brain clarity.

Mental Health

To improve your mental health, you must have adequate amounts of protein, which supplies amino acids which are your building blocks for your brain’s powerful neurotransmitters.

Improving Sleep

When you stay in balance with 40-30-30 you can improve your sleep by sleeping more soundly and actually feeling rested and alert instead of groggy when you wake up.  Be mindful not to eat high carbohydrate snacks before bed, as they cause the blood sugar and insulin levels to rise, which can disrupt sleep patterns.

Female Hormones

Women who crave carbohydrates before and during their menstrual cycle or who suffer from mood swings, headaches, cramps, and water retention should take a look at their diet. The formula is the powerful first step for women who suffer from hot flashes and hormonal imbalances. Once again it’s important to maintain balanced blood sugar and insulin levels and in turn this will help balance female hormones.

Diabetes

Many pharmaceutical manufacturers are producing pills and easy-to-use injection pens for the treatment of Diabetes which is on the rise. There are reports that controlling dietary carbohydrates and fiber had the same effect on blood glucose levels as drugs to control blood sugar levels. The Formula is designed to keep blood sugar levels steady, which helps to control the body’s demand for insulin naturally, and it reduces the risk of diabetes for others.

Hypoglycemia

When eating too many carbohydrates at a meal you can have a reaction called Hypoglycemia.  This is where blood sugar levels surge and insulin is elevated to reduce them, however for some blood sugar drops too low and hypoglycemic symptoms start to set in. By following the Formula you can keep blood sugar levels balanced from meal to meal, thus helping to avoid hypoglycemia.

High Blood Pressure

High blood glucose levels stimulate the release of insulin. Elevated insulin levels cause negative hormone reactions that can lead to the constriction of blood vessels and thereby increase blood pressure. The Formula helps keep your blood sugar balanced and controls the release of insulin which will reduce high blood pressure.

High Cholesterol

Studies have shown that High Cholesterol has been linked to high levels of insulin (hyperinsulinism). Hyperinsulinemia stimulates an enzyme (HMG CoA) in the body that increases the liver’s production of cholesterol. By controlling insulin, you control the release of this enzyme and lower cholesterol levels.

Defensive Nutrition

Have you ever heard of the expression you are what you eat? Many people with poor diets, which stimulate negative hormonal reactions to the body, suffer from weak immune systems and this increases susceptibility to illness and disease. A balanced diet strengthens the immune system and acts as a defensive nutrition insurance policy to protect you from disease.

Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is growing very rapidly! Most children do not have enough vitamins and minerals in their body.  Many kids are picky eaters and love junk food and they suffer from mood swings and behavioral problems. In this day of age doctors put kids on drugs much quicker than in my day.  I am sure some children need the medication but if a balanced diet could be the cure that would be a much more effective.  The formula is not just for adults; everyone can benefit from balanced nutrition, especially children.

Hyperactivity

Many hyperactive kids are eating high carbohydrate diets that are far too low in protein.  High carbohydrate diets spike blood sugar levels, and insulin level rise in an attempt to lower them. If the blood sugar drops to low children get cranky and experience symptoms of hunger, loss of concentration and poor performance.  High carbohydrate diets are also low in protein. Protein provides the amino acids needed for building healthy strong bodies and balancing brain chemistry.

The formula contains kids’ favorite meals that can help blood sugar levels, provide amino acids, fatty acids, and adequate glucose for the brain: help improve focus and concentration, and control hunger and mood swings.

Building Muscle

Although millions of people struggle with losing weight, some individuals have difficulty putting muscle on.  No matter what they eat they are skinny as a rail. The formula workers to increase lean muscle mass by proving adequate amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fat.  Blood sugar levels stabilize controlling insulin and elevating glucagon. Strength training stimulates the release of human growth hormone.  With the release of glucagon and human growth hormone, the body can begin to build lean muscle mass.  Many athletes have given up their high carbohydrate diets and now eat more balanced and use the 40-30-30 Formula. They have gained lean muscle mass, increased body fat, increased recovery rates, reduced lactic acid buildup and improved overall performance.

So you should now see the benefits from using the Formula to improve your health. I was not aware of these items, were you? It is not a good idea to eat high carbohydrate snacks before bed, as they cause the blood sugar and insulin levels to rise, which can disrupt sleep patterns. Controlling dietary carbohydrates and fiber can have the same effect on blood glucose levels as drugs to control blood sugar levels. High cholesterol has been linked to high levels of insulin and the liver produces cholesterol. If you balance carbohydrates, fats and proteins consistently your cholesterol levels will be lowered.

The formula contains kids’ favorite meals that can help blood sugar levels, provide amino acids, fatty acids, and adequate glucose for the brain: help improve focus and concentration, and control hunger and mood swings. This chapter has very powerful information and really makes you aware of why it’s necessary to take good care of yourself through proper nutrition. Nutrition is just one part of the puzzle but it’s a huge part in order to create well-being and balance for lifetime success and permanent weight loss. Remember what you eat brings about what you feel and who you are. Our bodies are designed to work beautifully and efficiently if we feed ourselves properly to promote a lifestyle of health and well-being. If you follow this approach you will be well on your way to living a healthier lifestyle and being a healthier you. Therefore are you ready to take control over your choice of food to be the best that you can be?
