High Strength Vitamin D3

Friday, February 4th, 2011
I get many emails asking for high strength Vitamin D3, you just can’t get it on the high street.

In Boots and Holland & Barratt you can only find Vitamin D3, 1000IU.

Dr Robert Young produced a very high strength Vitamin D3 and like me, many of you felt the benefits of it, especially living in a not so sunny climate!

If you feel you need a boost of sunshine, you can now buy a 5000IU Vitamin D3.

Why’s it so important?

Sunlight and vitamin D are critical to all life forms.

Standard textbooks state that the principal function of vitamin D is to promote calcium absorption in the gut and calcium transfer across cell membranes, thus contributing to strong bones and a calm, contented nervous system.

It is also well recognized that vitamin D aids in the absorption of magnesium, iron and zinc, as well as calcium.

Actually, vitamin D does not in itself promote healthy bone. If there is not enough calcium in the diet, then it will be drawn from the bone to help maintain the alkalinity of the bodily fluids.

Receptors for vitamin D are found in most of the cells in the body and research during the 1980s suggested that vitamin D contributed to a healthy immune system, promoted muscle strength, regulated the maturation process and contributed to hormone production.

During the last ten years, researchers have made a number of discoveries about vitamin D. They have ascertained, that vitamin D is an antioxidant that is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin E in reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing enzymes that protect against oxidation.

Vitamin D may protect against both Type I and Type II diabetes.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) has been corrected by supplementation of D and calcium.

Vitamin D plays a role in regulation of both the “infectious” immune system and the “inflammatory” immune system.

Low vitamin D is associated with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, rheumatoid, thyroiditis and Crohn’s disease.

Osteoporosis is strongly associated with low vitamin D.

Vitamin D deficiency has been mistaken for fibromyalgia, ME or peripheral neuropathy.

Infertility is associated with low vitamin D. Vitamin D supports production of estrogen in men and women.

PMS has been completely reversed by addition of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.

Breast, prostate, skin and colon cancer have a strong association with low levels of D and lack of sunlight.

People with Parkinsons and Alzheimers have been found to have lower levels of vitamin D.

Low levels of D, and perhaps calcium, in a pregnant mother and later in the child may be the contributing cause of “crooked teeth” and myopia.

Many researchers have postulated that vitamin D deficiency leads to the deposition of calcium in the arteries and hence atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Obesity is associated with vitamin-D deficiency.

So unless you’re lucky enough to enjoy the winter soaking up the winter sun, you need to supplement your vitamin D to maintain a healthy body!

This must be why us Brits crave the sun so much!

5 Day Alkaline Detox Challenge

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

I’ve been alkalising for about 3 years now and it all began with a detox which left me feeling amazing! I became hooked and didn’t want to go back to feeling, tired, bloated and sluggish!

I now live with my Fiance Jon, who will eat pretty much anything and has embraced vegan food and green smoothies! He does however manage to consume the odd sausage and bacon bap and drinks alcohol most days. He is now training for a Triathlon and needs to significantly improve his fitness. He realises that alcohol affects his performance and his intake needs to be massively reduced or cut out completely! He is also keen to shift a few pounds and his weight tends to stay pretty constant.

Therefore, I have challenged him to a 5 day detox, making it realistic and avoiding the weekends social activities. To do a successful detox timing and preparation is key!

The Rules:

  • NO MEAT
  • NO DAIRY
  • NO WHEAT
  • NO CAFFIENE
  • NO ALCOHOL
  • NO FRIED FOODS
  • NO PROCESSED FOODS
  • NO SUGAR
  • NO WHITE RICE
  • NO EGGS
  • NO FISH
  • NO SQUASH/CORDIALS/FIZZY DRINKS
  • NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

Detox Preparation:

  • Its all about timing: We have cleared a week in our diaries where we have no social functions, no meals out and plenty of time to prepare and cook food. Jon has a week off work and we are staying at home so it’s perfect.
  • Support: We are doing this together which, I feel is vital for success. I still follow the detox rules most of the time, however, have been letting wheat, especially bread sneak back in.
  • Writing a menu plan: My next job is to write a 5 day menu, use this to create a shopping list, then do the food shop. This makes life much easier, I know what to cook, the ingredients are there so there’s no excuse to slip ! I will adapt recipes from Carol Vorderman’s Detox recipe book. The recipes are not strictly alkaline, however have cut out the most acidic foods. The recipes are simple, easy to follow and still make me feel great. I will boost our alkalinity with supplements.
  • Supplements: I have my supplements ready, I usually consume at least 1 litre of Doc Brocs Power plants a day and will boost this back up to 3 litres and add pHion’s pH Booster. This is the bit that most of us struggle with as we are use to being dehydrated! 3 litres seems like a lot, you soon get use to it and the best way to flush acidic toxins out the body is with water. We will also be taking Dr Young’s Montmorillonite Clay, it’s great for cleansing the gut and is packed full of alkaline minerals. It tends to stay lumpy in water so it will be added to our daily green smoothie.
  • Water Bottle: we a have 1 litre water  bottle each so we can ensure we are drinking our 3 litres a day.
  • Starting point: We will weigh Jon, measure his body fat %, muscle %, water % and waist line so he can see the difference after 5 days.

Is Your Body Thirsty?

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Are your aches and pains simply a lack of water?

It seems we want what we can’t have and when we’ve got something in abundance we forget about it.

We are lucky; we live in a developed country where safe drinking water is available to us at the turn of a tap. Yet most of us are chronically dehydrated!

Our bodies moan and groan with aches, pains, fatigue, weight gain and bowel problems. These are all cries for water and we still ignore them or look for another solution such as a tablet, to mask these symptoms.

Our bodies are mostly water (70%)

Our brain is 74% water and our joint cartilage is a massive 90% water.

Our bodies use an average of 2 1/2 litres of water a day keeping us alive….do you replace it?

It is like running a car with no oil! Our joints are like sponges, when hydrated are soft and spongy. When dehydrated, joints dry out like a washing up sponge that has been left on the side overnight.

It has become a big part of our culture to drink tea and coffee which dehydrate us further.

The next time someone comes round for tea, why not offer them a glass of pure filtered water with a fresh lemon slice? The most precious gift we have.

To calculate the amount of water you need each day, divide your body weight by 2.

E.g. 140 lbs (10 stone) = 70 ounces (2 litres)

Here are just a few of the benefits of water…..

  • More energy
  • Clear, healthy radiant Skin
  • Increased metabolism
  • Lubricated joints
  • Improved immunity
  • Body temperature regulation
  • Waste and toxin elimination
  • Increased mental & physical performance
  • Weight loss

Take in a step further and boost the alkalinity or your water with pH drops, are blood should be slightly alkaline to be healthy,click here to find out more about the benefits of alkalising.
