The Digestive System

Organic Luo Han Guo, Organic Black Chia Seeds, Alfalfa Leaf Powder, Cinnamon Powder, Whey Protein, Wheatgrass Powder.

 

The Digestive System breaks down the food we eat separating the nutrients, and then assimilates them for use.  The body requires nutrients from all three food categories (protein, carbohydrates and fats) to survive. The following concerns are common among most people due to a poor Digestive System: IBS, Crohn’s Disease, indigestion, heartburn, insufficient digestive enzymes, acid reflux, ulcers and cramps. The Ingredients listed above are in the Mega Way Organic Protein Power Meal and they all support “The Digestive Body System”.

 

 Organic Luo Han Guo

Organic Luo han guo is a fruit that Amer­i­cans are hear­ing a lot about. The Chi­nese have used it as a nat­ural sweet­ener and heal­ing rem­edy for many centuries.​The monks in the steep Guilin moun­tains of South­ern China as far back as the 13th cen­tury have also used this sweetener. In fact, it was named after ad­vanced Bud­dhist prac­ti­tion­ers, called “lu­o­han”. The Chi­nese call this the “longevity fruit” be­cause the steep moun­tain fields in Guangxi Province where it is grown have an un­usual num­ber of res­i­dents that live to be 100 years old or more!  Many promis­ing stud­ies are un­der­way, which are con­firm­ing the nu­tri­tional and heal­ing prop­er­ties of this natural sweetener. It is a cousin of the cu­cum­ber, and a mem­ber of the gourd fam­ily of fruits. It’s a round and smooth, dusty green-brown fruit that is cov­ered with fine soft hairs, and a hard but thin shell. The fruit is used only after it is dried, and can be processed into a pow­der that con­tains nat­ural sub­stances called mon­gro­sides in it.

 

These nat­ural com­pounds make this a whop­ping 300 times sweeter than sugar, and are also re­spon­si­ble for some of the health ben­e­fits as­so­ci­ated with this fruit: It does not el­e­vate in­sulin lev­els, raise cho­les­terol or stim­u­late fat stor­age. Lo Han ex­tract is the fore­most nat­ural sweet­ener in the in­dus­try. It is being used in for­mu­las to pro­mote main­tain­ing a healthy weight. It is con­sid­ered safe for di­a­bet­ics, hypoglycemic’s and chil­dren. It adds a nice nat­ural sweet­ness to func­tional bev­er­ages. Since it is not a sugar al­co­hol, it doesn’t leave a bit­ter fin­ish. By iso­lat­ing the sweet com­pounds one can ob­tain ex­tracts that are up to 250 to 300 times sweeter than nat­ural sugar. The Mon­gro­sides in Organic Luo han guo are under in­ves­ti­ga­tion as po­ten­tial tumor in­hibitors.

 

Some ben­e­fits of Organic Luo Han Guo may in­clude:

  • An­tiox­i­dant prop­er­ties.
  • May help man­age di­a­betes be­cause of their in­hibitory ef­fects on blood sugar lev­els.
  • May de­fend against heart dis­ease.
  • Re­lieve throat in­flam­ma­tion or cough.
  • Cool heat stroke.
  • Help elim­i­na­tion in the el­derly.
  • Re­lieve di­ges­tive dis­tress.

 

Organic Black Chia Seeds

Organic Black Chia Seeds are edible seeds that come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico. Known as the running food, its use as a high energy endurance food has been recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. Chia Seeds are extremely high in Omega 3 fatty acids and are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and soluble fiber. One ounce of these seeds provides eleven grams of fiber. This amount also includes calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin, zinc and the proper ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Chia Seeds are rich source of antioxidants containing chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol flavonols. These compounds are both primary and synergistic antioxidants that contribute to the strong antioxidant activity of Chia Seeds. Studies show that eating these seeds may slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrate calories into simple sugars. This leads scientists to believe that the Chia Seed may have great benefits for diabetics. In a preliminary study from the University of Toronto (2006), researchers gave 21 diabetics either a supplement made from the seeds, or grains with similar fiber content.

 

The results were interesting. Research believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach when food containing these gummy fibers, known as mucilages, are eaten. The gel that is formed in the stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects. One of the exceptional qualities of the Chia Seeds is its hydrophilic properties, having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weigh in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration. Fluids and electrolytes provide the environment that supports the life of all the body’s cells. With these seeds, you retain moisture; regulate, more efficiently, the body’s absorption of nutrients and body fluids. Because there is a greater efficiency in the utilization of body fluids, the electrolyte balance is maintained.

 

Some benefits of Organic Black Chia Seeds may include:

  • Supporting cardiovascular health
  • Being very high in soluble fiber
  • Improving digestion and natural detoxification
  • Strong antioxidant benefits
  • Assisting joint function and mobility
  • Great for prolonged energy and endurance
  • Supporting a healthy heart and the circulatory system
  • Supporting healthy weight
  • Supporting healthy blood pressure levels
  • Higher antioxidant than blueberries

Or­ganic Cin­na­mon Pow­der: Sup­ports and bal­ances:

The Im­mune, Skele­tal, and Di­ges­tive Body Sys­tems

Or­ganic Cin­na­mon Pow­der is one of the old­est and most rec­og­niz­able fla­vors in the world. An­cient Egyp­tians im­ported it from China and used it as a med­i­cine and food en­hancer. Since then it has been used in just about every type of food prod­uct avail­able. This spice is ob­tained from the inner bark of the cin­na­mon tree. The bark rolls up while dry­ing in the sun, and forms what we know as a cin­na­mon stick which is left as is or ground into a fine pow­der. Pre­lim­i­nary lab and an­i­mal stud­ies have found that it may have anti-bac­te­r­ial and anti-fun­gal prop­er­ties. It’s ac­tive against Can­dida al­bi­cans, the fun­gus that causes yeast in­fec­tions and thrush, and He­li­cobac­ter py­lori, the bac­te­ria re­spon­si­ble for stom­ach ul­cers. It has an anti-clot­ting ef­fect on the blood. Sev­eral stud­ies sug­gest that it may have a reg­u­la­tory ef­fect on blood sugar, mak­ing it es­pe­cially ben­e­fi­cial for peo­ple with Type 2 di­a­betes. Other stud­ies with cin­na­mon showed an amaz­ing abil­ity to stop med­ica­tion-re­sis­tant yeast in­fec­tions. One study even found that smelling cin­na­mon boosts cog­ni­tive func­tion and mem­ory.

 

In a study pub­lished by re­searchers at the U.S. De­part­ment of Agri­cul­ture in Mary­land, cin­na­mon re­duced the pro­lif­er­a­tion of leukemia and lym­phoma can­cer cells. Dur­ing re­search at Copen­hagen Uni­ver­sity, pa­tients given half a tea­spoon of cin­na­mon pow­der com­bined with one ta­ble­spoon of honey every morn­ing be­fore break­fast had sig­nif­i­cant re­lief in arthri­tis pain after one week. Stud­ies have shown that just a ½ tea­spoon of cin­na­mon per day may lower LDL cho­les­terol. In ad­di­tion re­searchers at Kansas State Uni­ver­sity found that cin­na­mon fights the E. coli bac­te­ria in un­pas­teur­ized juices. When added to food, it in­hibits bac­te­r­ial growth and food spoilage mak­ing it a nat­ural food preser­v­a­tive. Cin­na­mon is also a great source of man­ganese, fiber, iron, and cal­cium and is ex­tremely high in ORAC 375,000 per 100G. The first highest being Cloves.

 

Some ben­e­fits of Or­ganic Cin­na­mon Pow­der may in­clude:

  • Im­mune Sys­tem Sup­port
  • Low­er­ing LDL cho­les­terol
  • Re­liev­ing di­ar­rhea
  • Fight­ing the E. coli bac­te­ria and fun­gal in­fec­tions

Re­mem­ber, it is not pos­si­ble to de­velop mus­cles de­void of pro­tein.  Today, many health ex­perts have re­vealed that or­ganic whey pro­tein is a ben­e­fi­cial choice to lose weight or burn fat.

 

This sup­ple­ment aids in proper func­tion­al­ity of the brain and sup­ports the im­mune sys­tem through in­creas­ing the glu­tathione lev­els and sup­port the di­ges­tive and in­testi­nal body sys­tems. More­over, stud­ies rec­og­nized an ef­fec­tive op­tion in pre­ven­tion and life ex­ten­sion re­gard­ing ail­ment and in­fir­mi­ties sim­i­lar to can­cer and have the abil­ity to sup­port the func­tion of the T-cell. Aside from that, lessen the mis­use of tis­sues when the body feels sick hence im­prov­ing the sat­is­fac­tion and in gen­eral, the re­cov­ery ve­loc­ity.

 

Organic Wheatgrass Powder

Or­ganic Wheat­grass Pow­der is an easy way to enjoy all the won­der­ful ben­e­fits of this in­cred­i­ble green food. It is a pow­er­ful detox­i­fier of the liver, blood, and gas­troin­testi­nal tract while chem­i­cally neu­tral­iz­ing tox­ins. The en­zymes and amino acids found in wheat­grass can help pro­tect the body from free rad­i­cals and car­cino­gens. It also stim­u­lates me­tab­o­lism and the body’s en­zyme sys­tems by en­rich­ing the blood and in­creas­ing red blood-cell count. It may also aid in re­duc­ing blood pres­sure by di­lat­ing the blood path­ways through­out the body. Re­cent stud­ies sug­gest that wheat­grass has a pow­er­ful abil­ity to help fight tu­mors with­out the usual tox­i­c­ity of drugs and it should not be con­fused with Wheat­grass Juice Pow­der. It is made by dry­ing the whole grass leaf and then milling it into a fine pow­der. Wheat­grass Juice Pow­der is made by first juic­ing the Wheat­grass and re­mov­ing all of the cel­lu­lose so a pure juice con­cen­trate is left. Then the juice is dried into a pow­der. Wheat­grass is rich in pro­tein and in­cludes all eight of the es­sen­tial amino acids, as well as 13 of the re­main­ing 16 non es­sen­tial amino acids.
