VitaBrew Coffee Certifies Eight O’Clock Coffee and GNC Ultra Mega for FDA Label Compliant Vitamin Fortified Coffee Recipe

VitaBrew Coffee LLC released its Free Certified Healthy Coffee recipe to the general public with its Independent Consumer laboratory Approved ingredients. VitaBrew Coffee Founder, Edward Mugits, has placed the FDA compliant Ingredient label copy of their recipe for Eight O’Clock Coffee and GNC Ultra Mega Vitamin and Mineral fortified Coffee online for the general public and Crohn’s Disease help.

VitaBrew Coffee promotes online healthy recipes to encourage the intake of critical nutrients through the most commonly consumed beverage in the world. “For many, coffee is a staple, states Edward, it’s breakfast with or without a donut, muffin, toast or anything else, and for those who follow this dietary routine, the vast majority intake no supplements at all. I am one of those who placed less importance on nutrient intake than my morning coffee, and that morning brew took a lot more time than it takes to swallow a supplement. Is it a stigma with taking a pill, for many yes, but I call it lazy because I didn’t take them regardless of a reason, so I developed a Healthy Coffee for my nutritional intake and those who suffer from Crohn’s Disease. Living with Crohn’s disease is a whole different ball game, there are so many people afflicted with Crohn’s Disease who simply cannot digest the supplements that Coffee, for those who can consume it, is a perfect vehicle to improve their nutrient intake through their mucous linings and digestive tract if liquefied and diluted.

Look on my viatabrewcoffee website and you will see other unique sources of nutrient intake vehicles, such as Vitamingum, a vitamin fortified chewing gum by Vitaball LLC, made for those who may not take supplements but chew gum and those who simply cannot take them orally. That little piece of gum was never developed for Crohn’s Disease help or support, but it is helping and we thank Vitaball LLC for their continued expanse in healthy products for those in need .

Why GNC? because their natural supplements are the most effective formulations that we found compared to 8 other leading manufacturers. GNC provides the consistent quality control that actually exceeds GMP standards and their supplements were the only one that passed 3 consecutive Independent Consumer laboratory tests through the High temperature brewing process. GNC continues to improve its formula and results may vary with the evolving Ultra Mega supplements. It was at GNC where we found the Vitamin Fortified Gum”.

These statements are not endorsed by GNC, Eight O’Clock Coffee or the FDA, the FDA does not control the supplement requirements other than label claim. The Vitabrew Coffee recipes and the products and or information it places online are not to be construed as a cure, treatment or something prescribed to heal, treat or supplement any medically administered program, When in doubt, seek a physician’s advice prior to trying anything new.

Kellogg’s Reveal What Women Want – Chocolate

Kellogg’s reveal through new research that women think about it all the time, enjoy it most after a bad day and would choose it over any other pleasure in life – chocolate that is.

Kellogg's Reveal What Women Want - Chocolate

The research* by Kellogg’s has revealed that over 20% of women in the UK say they would kiss goodbye to their sex lives before their chocolate fix and over a quarter would give up their chardonnay and Chanel.

In fact according to the report it seems women have a one track mind for chocolate as 30% confessed they thought about their treat most during the day, compared to just 18% who said they think about sex**.

A bad day at work is the main reason women turn to chocolate for comfort with over half of all women admitting this is when they indulge the most, while a third do so after an argument with their partner.

Ladies in Yorkshire are the most likely to be driven to the chocolate cupboard by their hormones with 40% saying they turn to chocolate to relieve PMT.

The research shows chocolate is a woman’s ultimate guilty pleasure with 2.3m admitting they eat it more than 3 times a day however, 70% of women said they felt guilty for doing so, with health, weight and dirty looks from their partner the top reasons for guilt.

Women also use chocolate as a reward with 41% saying they treat themselves after eating healthily including healthy snacks all day and 20% after exercising. This could start with a healthy breakfast at the beginning of the day and feeling the chocolate has been earned by the end.

“Everybody loves the swag bag hoopla, and it’s a fabulous way to showcase our gourmet products,” says Tricia Ryan, Director of Marketing for riceworks®, and leading promoter for the brand. “We’re joining other premium products like Heather Stewart’s famous Lilyfield Cakes and Jamie Macfarlane’s Northern Ice Vidal Icewine as prime examples of what Canada brings to the world’s table.

Thermadrol Fights Sugar Cravings with Gymnemia Sylvestre

One of the top weight loss products in the world, Thermadrol, has announced the addition of a powerful rainforest herb to its weight loss formula; Gymnemia Sylvestre. This herbal ingredient gives what is regarded as the strongest weight loss product on Earth the added punch of curbing sugar cravings as well. We all know that sugar is a vice for many, and that a sweet tooth is hard to conquer, but Gymnemia Sylvestre can do just that.

Gymnemia Sylvestre may be hard to pronounce, but its affects on the body are clear thanks to countless studies that show its sugar craving fighting features. Studies of the herb have shown that it reduces blood sugar levels, while at the same time reducing the taste of sugar in the mouth. The taste is what makes sugar addictive, and with Thermadrol taking that away, cravings for sugar will disappear too.

Thermadrol, with this new ingredient, blocks sugar receptors of the tongue to help deal with obesity, but it doesn’t stop there. In addition to stopping sugar cravings, it will also help users deal with hyperglycemia, high cholesterol, anemia and digestive problems. With this herb, Thermadrol has become a one-stop shop for all weight loss needs.

Thermadrol has developed a reputation for the past eight years of providing an excellent product that continues to improve and not only meet customer expectations, but exceed them as well. Now, with the added punch of Gymnemia Sylvestre, it seems that Thermadrol is once again pushing the limits and blazing new territory for weight loss products.

FoodTV Promotes Prudent Portions

With obesity rates rising, it is more important than ever that people eat healthily and take enough exercise. That is why FoodTV provide hundreds of simple and nutritious recipes, as well as demonstration videos to view online. However, when you begin to experiment and create your own dishes you shouldn’t forget the advice gained from FoodTV.

foodtvimage.jpg (400×300)

Every meal should include a variety of vegetables, carbohydrates and protein. You should also follow these tips for simple portion control:

Pasta
When cooking dried spaghetti, you should prepare a small handful for each person. Obviously this won’t work with some of the numerous varieties of pasta – a handful of penne pasta is not the same as a handful of tagliatelle.

Instead, a 230 gram serving of pasta is roughly the same size as a tennis ball. To make your pasta dishes even healthier, choose the wholegrain option.

Meat and fish
Both meat and fish are great sources of protein. However, nutritionists recommend you limit your intake of red meat, such as beef or lamb.

An average serving of meat should be about the same size as a deck of cards or a chequebook. A serving of fish – which is high in Omega 3 – should be about the same.

Vegetables
Whenever possible you should steam vegetables, as this means they will retain more of their nutrients. A 115 gram serving of cooked vegetables should be around the same size as an orange.

Dried fruit
While dried fruit will last much longer than fresh, it has around five times the calories by weight. To make sure you don’t overindulge, you should remember that a single serving of dried fruits should be about the same size as an egg or a golf ball.

Salad dressing
There is no need to add spoonfuls of dressing to add life to a salad. Instead, a drizzle of about five grams (roughly the size of your thumbnail) should be sufficient.

FoodTV provides hundreds of hours of online food-related videos, as well as easy recipes, budget cooking and drinks for all ages. Users can share recipes through the FoodTV community.

Cook Your Way To Wellness DVD, Created By Maria Atwood, Demonstrates The Preparation Of Nutrient Dense Foods

Maria Atwood, Eastern Plains of Colorado Weston A Price Chapter Leader, is now offering the 90 minute DVD “Cook Your Way to Wellness” with the “Tell Me More” supplemental booklet to the general public. This DVD sold out after being viewed by hundreds of natural health practitioners at a recent Standard Process West convention in Colorado.

Maria Atwood CNHP, herself a former vegetarian, credits following Sally Fallon-Morrell’s leadership with the health she now enjoys. Maria created “Cook Your Way to Wellness” to use as a demonstration tool to help her teach traditional food preparation to others at her Weston A Price chapter meetings. Although these foods can be made by reading “Nourishing Traditions Cookbook” written by Sally Fallon-Morrell & Mary Enig PhD, “Cook Your Way To Wellness”, which has been praised for it’s easy to follow format, gives a welcome visual presentation to the mysterious sounding foods such as Kefir, Fermented Vegetables and other Nourishing

Traditions recipes. After watching her DVD people have commented that they have the confidence they need to tackle these new skills of fermentation, kefir making, beet kvass, jerky making (following the traditions of her Piute Indian grandmother) and kombucha tea. The ease with which she prepared these foods, one step at a time, exemplifies that all people can prepare these truly life giving foods for themselves.

Owning the “Cook Your Way to Wellness” DVD is akin to having a traditional cooking seminar in your own living room. Maria feels strongly that these teachings have changed many people’s lives by reintroducing them to the simple, whole diet of our ancestors, and which may truly restore us to a life filled with strength and vitality. In “Cook Your Way to Wellness” both newcomers and seasoned cooks unfamiliar with fermenting will understand how easy it is to prepare these marvelous foods. Both the Nourishing Traditions, The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats, and “Cook Your Way to Wellness” are available at Maria Atwood’s website:http://www.traditionalcook.com Additionally, Maria has added a superior stoneware baking line of cookware, cutlery, fermented cod liver oil, high vitamin butter, and diatomaceous earth, which she considers an intricate part of her personal diet. A future mail-order catalog will be available soon.

Cook Your Way to Wellness and the supplemental “Tell Me More” booklet, is a seminar that could easily cost several hundred dollars if given in person, but is now available for only $42.95. Free shipping, and sold only within the contiguous USA. Order on-line at http:www.traditonalcook.com or send check or money order to: Maria Atwood CNHP, P.O. Box 355, Burlington, CO 80807.

Maria Atwood, CNHP, is a Certified Natural Health Professional, traditional foods teacher and natural health advocate. She accepted the responsibility of chapter leader in the Eastern Plains of Colorado in order to further the work of the Weston A. Price Foundation and Dr. Weston A Price’s life long goal which are summed up by his dying words: “You Teach, You Teach, You Teach”. Her personal specialty is teaching others the benefits of nutrient dense and traditional foods.

Kellogg’s Report Finds Monroe Not Moss Is The Ideal Figure

According to a new report from the Kellogg company, a massive 60% of British women say they are actually ‘fruit-shaped’ apple and pears but over two thirds of the nation are desperate for the classic Marilyn Monroe-esque hourglass figure.

kelloggs

In a landmark study to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kellogg’s Special K*, it was found that the ultimate slimming goal for women is no longer being the ‘Perfect 10’ but to get a curvy hourglass shape.

Regardless of whether they were 25 or 55 the hourglass figure personified by the shapely Nigella Lawson resolutely remains the body shape the majority of women aspire to. In fact, just 7% yearned for the boyish and shapeless body made famous by the likes of Twiggy in the sixties and Kate Moss in the nineties and the noughties.

With over 35% of the nation’s women confessing they are apple-shaped – a shape characterized by an undefined waist – and just 13% possessing an enviable hourglass figure – it seems shape not size is what matters most to women these days.

The research by Special K revealed women are taking their inspiration from curvy celebrities in the media too. While the sensuous hourglass curves of Nigella topped Special K’s inspiration index, Dame Helen Mirren was voted the second biggest ‘body booster’ – becoming an inspiration to millions after being photographed in her bikini last year, and Dame Judi Dench came in third.

Key body shape boosters include seeing shapely women on TV rather than size zero models, curvy celebrities with hunky boyfriends (such as Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson), and older actresses such as Helen Mirren ‘baring all’ for nude scenes.

Laura Bryant from Special K said: “The report shows that women’s attitudes to slimming over the last 50 years have changed along with their figures. It seems British women have lost their waists but now they are demanding them back. They are more concerned about getting a curvy hourglass shape like their grandmothers instead of being the perfect size 10 which shows a marked shift in attitude from the 80’s and 90’s when success and failure when slimming was benchmarked against fitting into certain sized clothes.”

To help people achieve their ideal shape for the summer and beyond, Kellogg’s Special K has created ShapeMate, an online tool which allows users to create their own free personal plan and delivers expert advice tailored to meet individual needs. The Kellogg’s site also features a BMI calculator to help people understand if their body mass index, a measure of a person’s height versus their weight, is in the ideal range or not.

* Survey by Tickbox across 2,000 women across the UK.

About the Kellogg company:
Since William Keith Kellogg filed the papers that officially incorporated the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flakes Company on 19th Feb 1906, the Kellogg’s company has been driven by the philosophy that an improved balanced diet leads to improved health. The Kellogg company is now the most successful cereal manufacturer in the world.

Sick & Tired of Being Stressed-out? A 130-Year-Old Herbal Drink May Be Your Ticket to Relaxation and Better Health

Lately you must hear people everywhere talking about “STRESS.” Indeed Yes, Nowadays the United States and even globally economies are dwindling; people are facing job instability, unemployment, and devaluation of their real estate property and stock portfolios, all of which contribute to the increasing amount of stress on people. According to the American Psychological Association (APA) report, there are nearly 113,000,000 people in the U.S. who have severe stress.

To help combat stress and its negative impact on health, Dr. G.L. Chao, a Ph.D. in Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with several other prominent Doctors of Chinese Herbal Medicine, began researching Dr. Chao’s 130-year-old family herbal formulas,was developed and first used by Dr. Chao’s great-great grandfather Dr. Baoyin Chao back in 1878 to help people relax and relieve the negative health problems caused by stress in China.

After intensive research, Dr. Chao and his research team were delighted to discover that his family’s herbal drink could be used to reduce the symptoms of stress by regulating the immune system and the brain’s central nervous system. The family’s herbal formula helped improve blood capillary circulation, thus regulating high blood pressure and reducing the feelings of depression, stress, and worries.

In 2008, under the guidance of the American National Food Laboratory, a healthy herbal drink “Dr. Chao Stress Reliever” has finally been made available in the USA.

Currently, there are only a few products for stress relief, beverages and pills are rarely seen in the general market today, and herbal beverages created by an actual doctor, like Dr.Chao’s, is even rarer.

Acai Berry Facts, Testimonials, Latest News Articles

Purple has a whole new meaning and it comes the form a tiny berries called acai berries. With the launch of Acai Tabloid, a new site dedicated to providing information regarding these super berries, consumers can now look forward to getting more comprehensive information regarding the fruit, its benefits as well as scams concerning the berry. The website http://www.acai-tabloid.com states facts, testimonials, latest news articles concerning the berry as well as a free trial for the acai berry.

Acai berries are found in the thick forests of the Amazon that grow in clusters atop the acai palm tree. The Acai berry is likened to be a cross between raspberries and chocolate, thus giving a delicious and unique flavor. Their flavor makes them a good combination and ingredient for fruit smoothies, granola, fruit drinks, yogurts and ice cream. These small tiny berries pack a healthy balance of protein, carbohydrates, omega fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals making it to the tops list of nutritional super foods.

Since media mogul Oprah Winfrey declared that the berry helped her in losing weight, the popularity of the acai berry has reached new heights and thus, it has also prompted scams to lure consumers into purchasing fake acai products. The Acai Tabloid seeks to help consumers from falling into this scam by providing valuable resources and guides, health benefits, as well as the most reliable places to buy acai berry products.

Consumers can also subscribe to the website’s RSS feeds to stay up to date concerning issues on the acai berry and other health and nutritional information. Not only that, the website encourages its visitors and acai berry consumers to relate and share their experiences from using the acai berry through its comments section.

The USDA Recommends that an average adult gets 3-5000 ORAC Units Daily. ORAC is the acronym for ‘Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity’ and most of us are getting less than 1000 a day. The Acai has very high ORAC values which are about 5500 ORAC value for just 100g.

Customers Willing To Wait For Their Orders While Gourmet Food Company Struggles To Find Working Capital

Eight years ago Susan Knapp began making Cinnamon Pear Jelly in her kitchen as a holiday treat. When she realized there was a demand for her healthy and delicious pear creations, she left her lucrative executive position to focus on building her own gourmet food company.

Knapp launched Aunt Sue’s in 1998 with four products, each one winning top awards at the Lake County and California State Fairs. As the company gained momentum, Knapp changed the name to A Perfect Pear from Napa Valley and introduced 15 new products. Now, major wholesale customers include Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Disney, Luxor Hotel & Casino, and the United States Navy, in addition to hundreds of boutique retailers, wineries, restaurants, and caterers across the nation.

Knapp’s commitment to make healthy products that taste delicious, look beautiful, and are friendly to the environment has propelled her company to the brink of the big leagues. And yet, the business is struggling. “Our problem has never been sales,” Knapp says. “Our biggest challenge is undercapitalization.”

With product rapidly flying off the shelves, Knapp finds herself in a unique position: over $100,000 in pending holiday backorders and not enough cash in reserves to manufacture. The rising costs of raw goods and the current credit crunch had brought a rapid halt to production, and yet, the customers are willing to wait.

“Everyday I get calls from customers who tell me they can no longer find our products,” says customer service rep Kat Patterson. “I have to tell them that we are sold out and unfortunately, we don’t know when we will be able to make more. They always tell me they’ll wait. They love our products and don’t care how long it takes. But I know people are anxious to place their holiday orders.”

“Each time I go to production I am making more product, which is great!” Knapp says. “But that also means I always need more money to keep up with growing demand.”

With SBA and bank loans halted, Knapp is now seeking funding from private parties. In this economic crisis, we’re thinking outside of the box and we’re getting pretty creative.”

Knapp currently needs $200,000 to fill backorders and put inventory on the shelves for the busy holiday season. She could save money by using less expensive ingredients and materials, but refuses to cut corners on quality. “Our commitment is to make healthy, delicious products with all-natural, mostly organic and mostly local ingredients. Our customers expect that and are willing to wait. They know we’ll be back.”
