S ummer is around the corner. You

know what that means don’t you?

Every magazine will have the classic

smokin’ girl on the cover and fitness

tips on how to get a body just like hers.

Knowing that you will be bombarded

with a bazillion ways to keep fit this

summer, we wanted to prepare you for

the most important part of your exercise

regime: Recovery. A lot of people

don’t talk about the need for adequate

rest in between workouts. The body

repairs and strengthens itself in the time

between workouts, and continuous

training can actually weaken the

strongest athletes. Rest is necessary so

that the muscles can repair, rebuild and

strengthen. Below are 4 tips to a better

recovery and a stronger body:

1. Take a day off – Don’t feel guilty

when you take a day off, embrace

it. Your off day is the time that the

body adapts to the stress of exercise

and the real training effect takes

place. Your body needs this time to

replenish energy stores and repair

damaged tissues.

2. Eat Whole Foods – Food is crucial

to a speedy recovery. Eat often, and

make sure it’s the real stuff, like wild

fish, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and

organic fruits and vegetables.

3. Supplement – Make sure you are

getting the right kind of Healthy

Omegas or EFAs since every

cell, tissue, gland and organ is

dependent on them. With the

right kind of EFA you can expect to

decrease body fat, improve sleep

and concentration, and increase

energy and stamina. When sourcing

an EFA, be sure to find a clean,

sustainable source.

4. Sleep – It’s that simple…sleep. Try

to aim for 7-9 hours a night. A lack of

sleep can have an impact on stress,

and can lead to weight gain. If you

are having a hard time falling asleep,

try incorporating a magnesium

supplement into your bedtime

routine. Research has shown

that even marginal magnesium

deficiency can prevent the brain

from settling down at night.

ark your calendars, June 16th

is Father’s Day. Don’t give dad

a tie this year - 30% of dads reported

that a tie is what they want least. Since

dad’s not getting any younger, take this

opportunity to get dad healthier with a

gift basket of essential products. We will

even guide you along the way for the

must-haves for your dad.

Multi – For the dad in your life that

has poor eating habits consisting of

too many nutrient-depleted processed

foods, and stress in his life, it is wise to

supplement with a multivitamin. We’re

not talking just any multivitamin, be sure

to look for one that has at least 25mg

of B Vitamins. These will help keep his

stress levels at bay.

Saw Palmetto – This palm fruit is

getting a lot of attention for its effective

treatment of men with symptomatic

benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH);

in other words, enlargement of

the prostate gland. The use of saw

palmetto extracts can reduce the size

of the prostate, and has been used as

a preventive measure against prostate

cancer for years.

Ginkgo Biloba – The remarkable effects

on brain function and blood circulation

have made Ginkgo one of the most

extensively studied and widely used

botanicals in the world. Used to benefit

memory and cognitive function, ginkgo

helps ensure your dad is on his A-game

in the boardroom.

Ubiquinol – Changing your dad’s daily

supplement of CoQ10 to the more

absorbable form of Ubiquinol, also

referred to as QH, is especially beneficial

if he is over the age of 40 and taking

statin drugs. QH helps to maintain and

support cardiovascular health and

functions as an antioxidant to impede

free radical oxidation. Even more reason

for dad to start taking it.
