Thinking from the inside out…..what does that mean? What you put inside your body will directly affect what you see on the outside. We just finished our 21- Day Nutrition Challenge at the Shop. I want to congratulate everyone who completed the challenge. Each person was dedicated and did an amazing job making adjustments with an open-mind to their diet and food choices. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much everyone enjoyed logging in their journals and on www.myfitnesspal.com. We had participants that not only felt better and performed better in class but also went down in body fat % by 6% or more. Due to the success and great things everyone is saying about the 21 Day Challenge, we will be starting another Nutrition Seminar on October the 7th. Please sign up online at www.danesbodyshop.com under events to participate in an amazing experience. That being said, of all the important things we learned over the 21 days, understanding that we have to think from the inside out was most important. We can give our body what it needs in whole foods, i.e. leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, lean meat. It is our job to make the choice to do so and plan accordingly. There is one supplement I feel MUST be taken by kids and adults alike on a daily basis. As humans we are unable to process the ALA in Omega 3’s into the EPA and DHA that we need. Fish oil already has a high concentration of EPA and DHA to give us the anti-inflamatory properties that we need. Omega 3 Fish oil should be taken by kids and adults for numerous reasons. Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) function in the body: – Promotes cardiovascular health – Reduces inflammation – Supports mental focus & cognitive function – Supports positive mood & emotional well-being – Promotes brain, eye, & nervous system health – Supports healthy immune system function – Enhances appearance of skin and hair Promotes optimal fat metabolism Those are pretty important reasons to consider if not research further. I am not going to go into a lengthy discussion of all the many reasons fish oil is beneficial if not essential for you and your family members. What I would like to discuss and help you with is what brand of fish oil to buy. I have been experimenting with several brands over the past 3-4 years. I have tried capsules and liquids. Although the liquid was harder to stomach at first, I did it because I knew it was the best and most efficient way to take fish oil. Now I take my liquid fish oil without a thought and move on about my day. If that is just not your thing, capsules will work just fine as well. I don’t want to disclose all the brands I have tried because it is not my objective to give anyone a bad name. I will let you know the one brand has stood out the most for me and given the best results, NutraSea. NutraSea has several different types and flavors. It is sold at Whole Foods, Central Market and Wheatsville among other stores in Austin. You can visit their website at www.ascentahealth.com to read more information about the company. Besides the results I have seen while taking the fish oil, I like that is priced in the mid-range comparatively and available at your local grocery stores. They also have a lot number on each bottle that you can type into the website and see the entire history of your actual bottle, EPA and DHA levels and much more. This helps me to feel confident knowing I have
the cleanest and purest fish oil on the market. If you have any questions about fish oil or NurtaSea please feel free to email me at leann@danesbodyshop.com. I am currently taking the NutraSea HP and the Ascenta Skin formula. Think from the inside out and see start seeing the results you are looking for today!
